Configure a stand-alone deployment (single server deployment)

  • .From the Start menu, run Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint Configuration Wizard as a local administrator.
  • On the Welcome page, click Next.
  • On the Select the deployment type page, select Single server (stand-alone) and then click Next.
  • On the Enter the user name and password page, enter the user name and password for the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint user. This user must be a domain user. Refer to Required permissions for more information.
  • On the Enter a certificate password page, enter a certificate password of your choice. This password will be used to protect the general purpose FAST Search certificate. You will need this password to install certificates on other servers. Retype the password and then click Next.
  • On the Server settings page, enter the fully qualified domain name of the server and the base port. A deployment file will be generated automatically with all the settings configured.
Note: 
If you require a specific setup, you can create and use a custom deployment file. If you want to do this, select Use an existing deployment file, and then enter the Deployment file location. Refer to deployment.xml reference for more information.

  • On the Database settings page, enter connection information to the SQL database that you installed and created before you installed FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. Enter the Database connection string in the format <ServerName>\<DBInstanceName> (Example: mysqlserver1.test.com\myinstance).

    To determine the database connection string: On the server where the SQL Server is installed, open SQL Server Configuration Manager from the Start menu. Under SQL Server Services, you see the SQL Server main service. The service name contains the connection string in parentheses.

    Enter the Database name and Database port. The database will be created when you complete the configuration wizard. Click Next.
  • On the Click-through relevancy settings page, add the desired relevancy click-through settings. Click-through relevancy enables automatic relevancy tuning based on how search users click on results. Select the relevant Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 installation type.
    • If you have installed SharePoint Server 2010 using the Standalone option, specify the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the SharePoint Server 2010.
    • If you have installed SharePoint Server 2010 using the Server Farm option, specify the user who is running the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Timer Service. This user is specified in the SharePoint Server 2010 post-setup configuration.
    • If you do not want click-through relevancy, or if you do not have the necessary information, select Do not enable click-through relevancy.
Click Next.

  • On the Configuration settings summary page, review the settings and then click Configure.

    Wait while the configuration finishes.
  • On the Post-setup configuration was successful page, click Finish.
Note: 
If configuration was unsuccessful, a failure page will appear with a link to the relevant log file.

  • Before you restart the server, make sure that administrative permissions are defined. Update the local FASTSearchAdministrators group (which was created by the configuration wizard) to include either the user who will administer the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint farm, or the domain group of your FAST Search Administrators.
  • Restart the server.
