# External web server, single machine

To set up a cluster with an external Web server on a single machine:

1. Stop the PPM Server. (See Start and stop the PPM Server on a single-server system).

2. Stop the external Web server.

3. Modify the `workers.properties` file to include relevant information about the nodes in the cluster. (See Configure the Workers Properties file.)

4. Create the `<PPM_Home>/server` directory.

   Make a copy of the first server directory (the entire directory) at the same level as the first.

   Example:

       <PPM_Home>
       + server
           + node1
           + node2

   Note: Use the value specified for the `KINTANA_SERVER_NAME` parameter in the `server.conf` file that corresponds to the subdirectory node for that system.

5. Open the `server.conf` file in a text editor and add an `@node` directive for each node.

6. Before the first `@node` directive, add the cluster-specific parameters listed in Server parameters required for server clustering.

7. After each `@node` directive, do the following:

   1. Set values for the parameters listed in Table 1. Server configuration parameters affected by clustering (External Web Server, Single Machine column). The values should be the same for all nodes in the cluster.

   2. Add and specify unique values for the parameters described in Table 3. Required node-specific parameter for multiple nodes on a single host.

      For your convenience, the table in Sample Port Sets lists port set values that you can use for up to five separate nodes in a cluster. (These are simply here only for your convenience. You can use any available port numbers you want.)

8. To apply the changes to all the servers in the cluster, from `<PPM_Home>/bin`, run `kUpdateHtml.sh.`

9. If the PPM Server is running in a Windows environment, start it using the Windows service called "PPM Server`_name,`" where `<Server_Name>` is the value of the `KINTANA_SERVER_NAME` parameter for the node in the cluster.

10. Generate a new service for the new node.

    1. Open a command prompt, and then change to the `<PPM_Home>\bin` directory.

    2. Run `ksvc.exe`, as follows:

           ksvc install <PPM_Server_Name> -kh <PPM_Home> -jh <JAVA_HOME>

    Note: The value of `<PPM_Server_Name>` is the same as the value set for the `KINTANA_SERVER_NAME` parameter in the `server.conf` file.

11. To validate the cluster, use the procedure provided in Verifying Successful Cluster Configuration.
