Step 1. Run the Installer

It is recommended that the Web Framework is installed on the same server as the Parklane Server.

If this server is shared with third party applications and web services, you can configure the Parklane Web Framework to use an alternate port number

You can choose to keep the randomly-generated password, or you can set your own password.
NOTE: It is important you remember this password for future administration.
