Verifying Your Installation

After you have installed and configured Macromedia Breeze, you should verify that the installation was
successful and that all features are functional.
Note: If you are using the Breeze Live stand-alone configuration, all references in this chapter to the Breeze
Presentation platform also apply to the Breeze application server.
This chapter describes how to verify a successful Breeze installation using the following procedures:
To verify a successful Breeze installation:
Start your Breeze components and other required software (see
1
on page 21).
Verify that the Breeze database and Breeze Presentation platform work together (see
2
the Breeze database and Breeze Presentation platform work together" on page
Verify that you can use the Breeze Manager, a web application within the Breeze Presentation
3
platform, and that it can send e-mail using your e-mail server (see
Breeze Manager and send e-mail notifications" on page
If you installed the Breeze Live stand-alone configuration, skip steps 4 and 5, and go directly to
step 6.

If you have installed Breeze Training, verify that you can use it (see

Starting your Breeze components

Before you can verify that your Breeze components function successfully, you must start the database
management system for the Breeze database and the Breeze Presentation platform. You must start your
Breeze components in the following order:
Start the Breeze database before you start the Breeze Presentation platform.
1
Start the Breeze Presentation platform before you start Breeze Live.
2
If you are using Breeze Live stand-alone configuration, start the Breeze application server before
you start Breeze Live.

Starting the database management system for the Breeze database

The following procedure applies to the Breeze database engine, which is installed as a Windows service. If
you configured Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you simply need to verify that the database is running.
To start the Breeze database:
Open the Services window under the Windows Control Panel:
1
In Windows 2000, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
In Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative
Tools > Services.
In Windows 2003, select Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
In the list of services, find MSSQLSERVER.
2
The Breeze database engine appears as MSSQLSERVER in the list of services.
If the status is Stopped, select MSSQLSERVER, and click the Restart icon (Windows 2000 and
3
Windows 2003) or the Restart link (Windows XP).
