RedCap Server on Windows VM

RedCap Server on Windows VM

Introduction

This article deals with the potential challenge of getting a RedCap Server (Windows VM) - Client up and running within the context of a Workspace.
The problem it fixes is that the RedCap server cannot be reached from another VM within the same Workspace.
The RedCap server is only available for the VMs in the same Workspace

If the database does not live on the Share, make periodic backups of the database to the Share. If the VM is lost, the data on the VM is lost!


Installation

  1. Install RedCap following the instructions
  2. On the Windows VM that runs RedCap server
    1. Create a Windows Firewall rule:
      1. Port
      2.  -> all ports --> check Domain
      3. Give the rule a custom name e.g. RedCap
      4. Now a Client VM should at least show that a connection is possible to the server, but it might give an Apache authorization warning, this is resolved in the next step
    2. WAMPServer config
      1. WAMPServer versions <= 2.5
      2. WAMPServer 3
