Setting Up an OCTOPUS Server

Octopus uses a multi-users database. You can use Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE), Microsoft SQL Express 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server.

MSDE and SQL Express are both free, but we recommend you to use SQL Express.

The installation process will consist in
- setting up the database engine
- installing client.
- and setup the client.


Setting up the database engine
Install the database administration tools (optional)
Install and setup the client (updated!)
