Pendragon Forms VI - Remote Server Configuration

Here is the recommended procedure for setting up your Pendragon Forms VI Staging Server at a remote ISP (Internet Service Provider) server. It's possible that some ISP configurations might need a custom procedure, but we think the following approach is the best starting point.

Download our latest installer by downloading the Evaluation version.
Install this on your PC so that the staging server is running locally on your PC.
On your web server, make sure you have PHP 5.2 or higher and MySQL.
Create a folder on the root of your web server called "formsvi"
Copy all the files from your
C:\Users\Public\FormsVI\UniServer\www\formsvi
folder up to the formsvi folder on your web server.
Open the file
C:\Users\Public\FormsVI\UniServer\www\formsvi\provision.php
using a text editor (e.g., Notepad).

You will see a password that was generated for your local database user account. Write this down.
Create a MySQL database on the server called "formsvi"
Create a MySQL user account for the formsvi database called "formsvi". Set the password to the password that was in the provision.php file.
At this point, you should be able to navigate to your remote server and visit the Forms VI page:
http://myserver.com/formsvi

You will see a link to INSTALL/RUN. Click the link.
The next step is to setup the initial user accounts.

Open your browser to
http://myserver.com/formsvi/data.php?action=remote

You will be prompted for three pieces of information. A new admin password, a first device account name, and the password for that first device account.

Type in the information, then click the Initialize button.
Finally, open your Pendragon Transfer Agent, and click on the Setup button. Go to the Remote Admin tab. Type in the URL for your remote formsvi folder. The Forms VI username will remain "dtadmin", but change the password to the admin password you entered in step (10):

At this point, you can try to distribute forms and synchronize data.
