Start the Windows command line. Go to the directory of the installation files.
Start the installation with the following command:
consolesetup.bat
Optional parameters
You can use the following optional parameters for the installation:
| --logging=plain | When you use this parameter or value, all the individual installation steps are displayed. In the log output, the animation (a spinning slash) is disabled. |
| --configFile=<cfgfile> | If you use this parameter, you can install Intrexx via a configuration file (see Install Intrexx using a configuration file (headless). |
| --update - d |
If you use this parameter, you can perform an "Unattended Update". Use the parameter along with the --configFile or --installationPath parameters. |
|
--silent -s |
When you use this parameter, the detailed progress information is suppressed during the setup. Note The --silent parameter does not have anything to do the Intrexx Silent Track. You select the release track at a later time during the installation. |
| --help | You can use this parameter to display additional parameters. |
Example
consolesetup.bat -t --logging=plain
Alternatively you can mark the file "consolesetup.bat" in the Windows Explorer and start it via the right mouse button as an administrator. The optional parameters are then not available.

Configure Solr
By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed with Intrexx. It provides the search functionality for your portal.
By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed on the same server as Intrexx. Therefore, the default host is "127.0.0.1" (localhost). The suggested port is 8983.
However, you also have the option of installing the Apache Solr search server on another server. In that case, you need to adjust the specifications accordingly.
The Intrexx Portal Server uses the user and password for authentication to the Solr search server. Change default authentication data.
