5. On the User Account dialog, specify the Windows user account that will run the FME Server System Services. This account must have access to the FME Server System Share that you specify in the next dialog. The System Share is the location where FME Server stores Repositories and Resources files. (For more information, see Provide a Remote File System for the FME Server System Share.)
6. On the Existing FME Server System Share dialog, spcecify the UNC path to the remote file system for the FME Server System Share.
7. On the FME Server Hostname dialog, enter the name of the FME Server Host. Enter the host name of the computer you want to serve as the primary FME Server Core host (<coreHost>). Do not specify the failover core host machine.
8. On the Administrator Account dialog, enter a user name and password for the admin account. For more information, see Default User Accounts and Passwords.
9. On the Web Application Server dialog, specify the web application server. If already provided, it is recommended that you shut down the service during installation.
10. On the Web Application Server Port dialog, specify the port to use for communication with the web application server. Port 80 is the recommended default. If this port is in use, port 8080 is recommended.

Note: Common applications that may be using port 80 include Skype and Internet Information Services (IIS). Either turn off these services, or select a different port, such as 8080.

1. On the <webHost>, mount the FME Server installation directory shared on the <coreHost>:

   mount <coreHost>:<FMEServerDir>/home/FMEServer

2. Start the FME Server Installer.
3. Select the Distributed (Custom) install option.

4. At the feature selection dialog, select only the Web Services component.

   The installer prompts you for the name of the FME Server Host.

5. Enter the host name of the computer you want to serve as the primary FME Server Core host (<coreHost>). Do not specify the failover core host machine.

   The installer prompts you for the path to the remote file system for the FME Server System Share.

6. Enter the path to the mounted directory.

   The installer prompts you to specify the web application server. If already provided, it is recommended that you shut down the service during installation.

   See Working with the FME Server System Services.

8. In order for the Data Download and Data Streaming web services to reference the correct web host location when outputting results that are returned from an FME Engine, you must manually change this location in your FME Engine configuration files:
   1. Locate your FME Engine configuration files, under <FMEServerDir>\Server\fmeEngineConfig*.txt
   2. For each file, under the SUB_SECTION for FILE_DOWNLOAD_SERVICE and STREAM_DOWNLOAD_SERVICE, modify the SUCCESS_RESPONSE directive as follows:

   From:

   SUCCESS_RESPONSE 0:Translation Successful|OutputLocation=!FME_AUTO_DIR_NAME!

   To:

   SUCCESS_RESPONSE 0:Translation Successful|OutputLocation=<webHost>/DefaultResults/!FME_AUTO_DIR_NAME_SIMPLE!

Following the installation on <webHost>, the FME Server Web Application Server automatically starts.  If you used your own web application server, you can restart that service.

To verify the installation, see Verify the Installation (Windows) or Verify the Installation (Linux).
