Question

Where is Configuration Manager

We're trying to install RoboHelp 7 Server.

The instructions mentions running a configuration manager. It even says that Configuration

Manager will start automatically after the installation completes.

It never does.

So where is it?

I assume we need this to configure our database since we're using SQL and

not Access (among other things).

Thanks

Hi, Doug. The Adobe RoboHelp Server 7 should have its own Start > Programs Folder after installation. It's a fairly small application and easy to miss. Since I am running RH Server 8 now, I no longer have it on my machines.

When you start Configuration Manager (v7), you can select and connect to a different ODBC database (like SQL) instead of the Access DB which is default. You can also change the order of the projects to determine the order you want them to display, unless you are using the Merging projects option.You can also schedule times for scanning PDFs, Word docs, and other non-HTML documents so that they show up in the search results.

This whole concept has changed a lot (way for the better in RoboHelp Server 8) Hope you'll be able to shift over someday. Complete new re-write of the code and much nicer to administer.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm still not seeing it. If it helps, I've enclosed a screen print of the closest thing

I can find with what you said.

Any idea on what the file might be named?

We've already tried reinstalling. No luck.

Thanks again.

Hey Doug

Next time around please avoid using attachments. Instead, use the camera icon just above where you type into the post.

Attachments frequently get stuck in a queued status and we aren't able to see them.

Cheers... Rick
