Overview of Contenta Web installation and configuration

SDL recommends you install Contenta Web on a separate system than the system installed with the Contenta Server or database software.

You must have Contenta Server software installed on a system accessible by the Contenta Web system.
  • Existing Contenta databases must be upgraded to 5.7. Note that this activity is part of the Contenta Server 5.7 upgrade.
  • You must obtain a new license file for this installation. If you do not have a Contenta license token PCMWEB in the Contenta license file, when you obtain a new license file be sure to request this token.
Your system must meet or exceed the Contenta Web server hardware and software requirements noted in the Platform Requirements document.
  • Verify or install all the prerequisite system software.
  • If you have versions of third-party products other than those required and have questions regarding their removal or upgrade, contact SDL Customer Support.

The Contenta server’s host name must be 32 characters or fewer.
