How to setup a Hive server

This page gives you instructions about how to setup and run a Hive server.

Certificate and Authentication:

• Follow DevelopersHowtosDevelopServices
• Goto Windows Services > start Distributed Transaction Coordinator service (needed to use transactions over multiple databases)

Enable net.tcp protocols:

• Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows features on or off
• Expand Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x.x
• Check the "Windows Communication Foundation Non-HTTP Activation" check box.
• Open Visual Studio command prompt as administrator and run this command: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.xxxx\ServiceModelReg.exe" -r

Setup IIS:

• Open IIS Manager
• Create an application pool (Hive-3.3, .net 4.x, integrated)
  • Open advanced settings of the application pool and select NetworkService as identity (if you don't have your own identities for IIS AppPools)
  • Set Disable Overlapping Recycle to true. This avoids that multiple AppDomains are created which causes problems in Hive-3.3.
• Create a new website (or use an existing one)
• Go to bindings of the website.
  • Add a http-binding with port 9000.
  • Add a net.tcp binding with 9001:* in the binding information.
• Create a new application within the website and call it Hive-3.3 and use the already created appPool Hive-3.3
• Open advanced settings of the application and enter http, net.tcp as enabled protocols

Problem:

• Exception Could Not Load Type System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule
  • run aspnet_regiis.exe -iru
