How To Reinstall exacqVision Server

Scope

This document will detail the steps necessary to reinstall exacqVision.

Purpose

Reinstall exacqVision when passwords or accounts are corrupted and no users can log in. Since the data was stored separately, this will not cause any data loss.

Steps

  1. SSH to [email protected] (because the installation file is under his home directory).
  2. Navigate to exacq folder:
    • cd /usr/local/exacq/server
  3. Stop exacq server:
    • sudo service edvrserver stop
  4. Back up the useraccounts.xml file (optional). If you do this, skip step 4. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
    • sudo mv ./useraccounts.xml ~/useraccounts.xml.bak
  5. Remove the useraccounts.xml file:
    • sudo rm  ./useraccounts.xml
  6. Navigate to robbie’s home folder:
    • cd ~
  7. Run the installation (installation file is exacqVisionServer…):
    • sudo dpkg -i ./NAME_OF_THE_INSTALLATION_FILE.deb
  8. Follow the instructions on the screen to set new password.
  9. Once done, log in to the client user using name admin and the set password.
