Installation notes for BarracudaDrive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Upgrade Instructions:
  Carefully read the upgrade instructions below (half way down this
  document), if you are upgrading from an older BarracudaDrive
  release.

Before Installing:
  Firewalls may prevent external access to the PC running
  BarracudaDrive. See the following link for more information:
  http://barracudaserver.com/products/BarracudaDrive/tutorials/disable-firewall.lsp

Two step installation and configuration:
  BarracudaDrive requires that you first run the Windows installer and
  then use a browser to complete the configuration.

BarracudaDrive Windows installer:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  BarracudaDrive installs as a Windows service, which means that the
  server is always available when your computer is running, even when
  you are not logged on. It is possible to run BarracudaDrive as a
  console program if you do not want it to run as a service.

  Download and start the Windows installation program bdinstall.exe

  It is recommended that you DO NOT uninstall existing versions of
  BarracudaDrive prior to installing an upgrade or new version.
  The previous version of the installation program MAY remove user
  generated components.

  It is important that you are logged on with full administrative
  rights before attempting to install BarracudaDrive.

  Messaging services such as Skype are known to interfere with
  installation of BarracudaDrive. To ensure that the installation
  completes successfully, ensure that all Web applications and
  messaging tools are stopped. Closing the window does not normally
  stop these services. Right click the icon in the system tray and
  select Exit.

  If the install completes successfully, BarracudaDrive should be
  enabled and you should see the Barracuda icon in the system tray
  (right bottom corner on your desktop). The service can be stopped
  and started by right-clicking the Barracuda icon. The icon's top
  right corner is green when BarracudaDrive is running. The icon’s top
  right corner is otherwise red.

  The BarracudaDrive icon is a small Windows program that can be used
  for controlling the BarracudaDrive server. The server runs as a
  Windows service and is invisible. The BarracudaDrive icon is not
  needed as one can also start and stop the server either via the
  Services Control Panel or via the command prompt. All Windows
  Services can be controlled by using the Windows Services Control
  Panel. You can find BarracudaDrive as a service after installing
  it. Go to Control Panel -> Performance And Maintenance ->
  Administrative Tools -> Services. Look for BarracudaDrive. You can
  start/stop/disable/enable BarracudaDrive by using the Windows
  Services Control Panel.

  If you prefer, you can remove the BarracudaDrive icon(bdctl.exe) from
  the tray by starting msconfig. Select The Windows Start Button ->
  Run -> type msconfig -> click OK -> click the Startup tab ->
  deselect bdctl.exe.


Configuring BarracudaDrive using a browser:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

  After you have completed the Windows installation:
   *  Right click the BarracudaDrive icon and select "start page".
   *  If using Vista type in http://localhost in your browser.

  You should see the license activation page in your browser window.

  The browser will be redirected to the license page if you do not
  have a valid license. First time installers can get a free 45 day
  trial license. Complete the license activation as explained.

  You will be directed to the configuration wizard after you have
  activated the license. If you are not directed to the configuration
  wizard, type in the following in your browser:
  
  http://localhost/setup/
  
  Complete the configuration.
  MAKE SURE YOU CAREFULLY READ EACH OPTION PRESENTED TO YOU IN THE
  CONFIGURATION WIZARD.

For convenience you can bookmark the follow URL's on the PC running
BarracudaDrive:

http://localhost/rtl/            The integrated BD management pages.
http://localhost/rtl/license/    License Information. Check that your
                                  trial license does not expire.
http://localhost/setup/          The installation application.

Please note that the above URL's only work if your BarracudaDrive
server is running and you use a browser on the same PC your
BarracudaDrive server is installed on.


Upgrade Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can upgrade from any previous version of BarracudaDrive with a
license manager. You may have to confirm your license after the
upgrade. BarracudaDrive automatically redirects you the first time to
a page where you can confirm the license.
