Install multiple instances of inRiver PIM

Pål Christian Odlo 2/17/2017 6:00:00 AM

inRiver version 6.3.0 SP2

From inRiver Wiki: "From version 6.3 it is possible to have multiple inRiver servers in one system" inRiver Wiki (requires login)

For this walk-through I will use the Customer1 and Customer2 as the names on the instances installed.

First instance

Download and install inRiver PIM 

Once the installation starts, choose Advanced installation
 
Set server address: http://localhost:8080/
Set installation folder: C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1

Set database connectionstring

Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=Customer1PIM;User ID=dbUserCustomer1PIM;Password=inriver123

 

Set web portal name: inRiver Web Portal Site Customer1  
Set app pool name: inRiverWebPortalAppPoolCustomer1

Run installation

Create database Customer1PIM with filestream enabled

 

Create login dbUserCustomer1PIM with password inriver123

 

Map the login to Customer1PIM database with db_owner role

Enable configurations

Rename file "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Server\inRiver.Server.exe.Config.Sample" to "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Server\inRiver.Server.exe.Config"

Rename file "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Connect\inRiver.integration.exe.config.Sample" to "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Connect\inRiver.integration.exe.config"

 

Change configurations

In C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Server\inRiver.Server.exe.Config, change the message queue names

<add key="ServerInternalLogMessageQName" value="Customer1ServerInternalLog" /> 
<add key="ConnectNotificationMessageQName" value="Customer1ConnectNotifications" /> 

 

In C:\Program Files\inRiver AB 3 Customer1\inRiver Connect\inRiver.integration.exe.config, change the message queue names

<setting name="ServerListenerMessageQName" serializeAs="String">
    <value>Customer1ServerListener</value>
</setting>
<setting name="ConnectInternalLog" serializeAs="String">
    <value>Customer1inriverConnectInternalLog</value>
</setting>

 

Delete services created by inRiver installation

In a command prompt with administrative privileges run the following commands

C:\>sc.exe delete InRiverConnectWindowsService6

C:\>sc.exe delete InRiverServerWindowsService6

 

Create services for the inRiver server and connect services

In a command prompt with administrative privileges run the following commands
C:\>sc.exe create inRiverServerServiceCustomer1 binPath= "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Server\inRiver.Server.exe" start= auto

C:\>sc.exe create inRiverConnectServiceCustomer1 binPath= "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1\inRiver Connect\inRiver.Integration.exe" start= auto depend= inRiverServerServiceCustomer1

C:\>sc.exe start inRiverServerServiceCustomer1

 

Navigate to http://localhost to verify inRiver web portal is up and running

Second instance

Copy the folder "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer1" to "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer2"

Give the user IIS_IUSRS full control on the folder "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer2\inRiver Web"

Create login dbUserCustomer2PIM with password inriver123 and map the login to Customer2PIM database with db_owner role

 

Create website in IIS

Add website

  • Set site name: Customer2 inRiver Web Portal Site
  • Set physical path: C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer2\inRiver Web
  • Set port: 81

Add website dialog

 

Create services for the inRiver server and connect services

In a command prompt with administrative privileges run the following commands

C:\>sc.exe create inRiverServerServiceCustomer2 binPath= "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer2\inRiver Server\inRiver.Server.exe" start= auto
    
C:\>sc.exe create inRiverConnectServiceCustomer2 binPath= "C:\Program Files\inRiver AB Customer2\inRiver Connect\inRiver.Integration.exe" start= auto depend= inRiverServerServiceCustomer2
    
C:\>sc.exe start inRiverServerServiceCustomer2


Navigate to http://localhost:81 to verify inRiver web portal for Customer2 is up and running

NOTE: If you use host name on the websites, all inRiver Web Portals could run on port 80. This way it is easier to remember the url for each inRiver Web Portal
