Install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a stand-alone computer
In this article:

• | Install and configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with Windows Internal Database |
• | |
• | Important This document discusses how to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a single computer as a stand-alone installation. It does not cover installing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 in a farm environment, upgrading from previous releases of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, or how to upgrade from SharePoint Portal Server 2003. For information about how to do this, see the following articles: |
You can quickly publish a SharePoint site by deploying Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a single server computer. A stand-alone configuration is useful if you want to evaluate Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 features and capabilities, such as collaboration, document management, and search. A stand-alone configuration is also useful if you are deploying a small number of Web sites and you want to minimize administrative overhead. When you deploy Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a single server using the default settings, the Setup program automatically installs SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and uses it to create the configuration database and content database for your SharePoint sites. In addition, Setup installs the SharePoint Central Administration Web site and creates your first SharePoint site collection and site.
| Note: |
| There is no direct upgrade from a stand-alone installation to a farm installation. |
0 Hardware and software requirements
Before you install and configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, be sure that your servers have the required hardware and software. For more information about these requirements, see Determine hardware and software requirements (Windows SharePoint Services).
1 Configure the server as a Web server
Before you install and configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you must install and configure the required software. This includes installing and configuring Internet Information Services (IIS) so your computer acts as a Web server, installing the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0, and enabling ASP.NET 2.0.
Install and configure IIS
Internet Information Services (IIS) is not installed or enabled by default in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system. To make your server a Web server, you must install and enable IIS, and you must ensure that IIS is running in IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode.
| Install and configure IIS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
Install the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.0
Go to the Microsoft Download Center Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=72322&clcid=0x409), and on the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Redistributable Package page, follow the instructions for downloading and installing the .NET Framework version 3.0. There are separate downloads for x86-based computers and x64-based computers. Be sure to download and install the appropriate version for your computer. The .NET Framework version 3.0 download contains the Windows Workflow Foundation technology, which is required by workflow features.
Enable ASP.NET 2.0
ASP.NET 2.0 is required for proper functioning of Web content, the Central Administration Web Site, and many other features and functions of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
| Enable ASP.NET 2.0 | ||||||
|
|
2 Install and configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with Windows Internal Database
When you install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on a single server, run the Setup program using the Basic option. This option uses the Setup program's default parameters to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Windows Internal Database. Windows Internal Database uses SQL Server technology as a relational data store for Windows roles and features only, such as Windows SharePoint Services, Active Directory Rights Management Services, UDDI Services, Windows Server Update Services, and Windows System Resources Manager.
| Note: |
| If you uninstall Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, and then later install on the same computer, the Setup program could fail when creating the configuration database causing the entire installation process to fail. You can prevent this failure by either deleting all the existing Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases on the computer or by creating a new configuration database. You can create a new configuration database by running the following command: psconfig -cmd configdb -create -database |
| Run Setup | ||||||||
|
|
| Run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard | ||||||||||||||
|
|
| Add the SharePoint site to the list of trusted sites | ||||||||||||
|
|
If you are using a proxy server in your organization, use the following steps to configure Internet Explorer to bypass the proxy server for local addresses.
| Configure proxy server settings to bypass the proxy server for local addresses | ||||||||||||||||||
|
|
After Setup finishes, your browser window opens to the home page of your new SharePoint site. Although you can start adding content to the site or you can start customizing the site, we recommend that you perform the following administrative tasks by using the SharePoint Central Administration Web site.
• | Configure incoming e-mail settings You can configure incoming e-mail settings so that SharePoint sites accept and archive incoming e-mail. You can also configure incoming e-mail settings so that SharePoint sites can archive e-mail discussions as they happen, save e-mailed documents, and show e-mailed meetings on site calendars. In addition, you can configure the SharePoint Directory Management Service to provide support for e-mail distribution list creation and management. For more information, see Configure incoming e-mail settings |
• | Configure outgoing e-mail settings You can configure outgoing e-mail settings so that your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server sends e-mail alerts to site users and notifications to site administrators. You can configure both the "From" e-mail address and the "Reply" e-mail address that appear in outgoing alerts. For more information, see Configure outgoing e-mail settings |
• | Configure diagnostic logging settings You can configure several diagnostic logging settings to help with troubleshooting. This includes enabling and configuring trace logs, event messages, user-mode error messages, and Customer Experience Improvement Program events. For more information, see Configure diagnostic logging settings |
• | Configure antivirus protection settings You can configure several antivirus settings if you have an antivirus program that is designed for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. Antivirus settings enable you to control whether documents are scanned on upload or download and whether users can download infected documents. You can also specify how long you want the antivirus program to run before it times out, and you can specify how many execution threads the antivirus program can use on the server. For more information, see Configure antivirus protection . |
• | Create SharePoint sites When Setup finishes, you have a single Web application that contains a single SharePoint site collection that hosts a SharePoint site. You can create more SharePoint sites collections, sites, and Web applications if your site design requires multiple sites or multiple Web applications. For more information, see Deploy and configure SharePoint sites (Windows SharePoint Services) |
| Perform administrator tasks by using the Central Administration site | ||||||
