If you have backed up your Iguana server, you can restore it if a disaster occurs.

To restore an Iguana server:

• Install or re-install Iguana.

• Stop the iNTERFACEWARE Iguana service.

• If you are using Iguana 4.0 or later, in the Iguana installation directory, replace the default IguanaConfiguration.xml file with your saved backup copy.

• If you are using an older version of Iguana, in the Iguana installation directory, replace the default ChannelConfiguration.xml file with your saved backup copy.

• Using Notepad or another text editor, edit the file that you have just copied, changing any instance of StartAutomatically or start_automatically from true to false. This ensures that none of your channels will start automatically, which enables you to check them for errors.

• Ensure that all of the databases, VMD files, log files, and other files that are used by your channels are defined and in place. If you are using Iguana 4.0 or later, ensure that channel_positions_meta.xml is in place as well.

• Restart the iNTERFACEWARE Iguana service.

• Start your channels and check to see that they are working properly.

• When you are satisfied that your channels are working properly, you can edit your channels to start automatically when the server is restarted. If you are using Iguana 4.0 or later, see Configuring the Channel Details for information on how to specify that a channel is to be started automatically. If you are using a version of Iguana that is older than version 4.0, see Configuring the Channel Level Details.
