Running the installer to install UGC on the Content Manager server

You install UGC on the Content Manager server by running the Content Manager Server installer.

About this task

By default, the Content Manager does not install UGC. You do not need to install UGC if you explicitly selected this feature when you installed the Content Manager Server, except if you want to outscale components.

Procedure

  1. Access the SDL Web installation media.
  2. Navigate to the Content Manager\ directory.
  3. Double-click the executable SDLWeb85CM.exe.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen:
    • You can select individual software components to install by choosing the Advanced option. (By default, the installer installs all core software components; that is, it does not by default install User Generated Content, Translation Manager, Experience Optimization and Audience Manager, or any legacy features.)
    • You can install software components you choose not to install by running the installer again and selecting the Modify option.
  5. After the installer finishes, if the installer does not prompt you to restart your machine, perform a manual reboot.

Results

The installer installs the selected software components and creates a log file in %PROGRAMDATA%\SDL\SDLWeb\Logs\.
