Installing WAPT Server on Windows
=================================

.. attention::

  * The WAPT Server can not be installed on a computer with services already
    listening on ports 80 and 443 (example WSUS with IIS).

  * ports 80, 443 and 8080 are used by the WAPT Server and must be available;

  * If ports 80 and 443 are already occupied by another web service,
    you should take a look at the documentation for :ref:`changing the default
    ports on Windows <windows_changing_port_80_443>`.

  * port 8088 is used on client machines by the WAPT agent and
    must be available;

  * The WAPT server **will not run** on a x86 version of Windows;

  * The installation of the WAPT server must be done using
    a **Local Administrator** account on the host;

.. attention::

  **From WAPT Server 1.5 onward**, :program:`Nginx` is the **ONLY**
  supported web server. **Apache or IIS (with or without WSUS) are no longer
  supported in WAPT**.

In case of problems when installing WAPT, visit the :ref:`Frequently
Asked Questions <wapt_faq>`.

  * installing WAPT on a Linux server is the recommended method;

  * the WAPT Server may be installed on **64bit only** Windows 7, 8.1, 10
