Three-step Installation and Configuration


Installing QuickReportz involves creating and configuring the website, creating blank database, and then following the wizard


Step 1: Web server installation instructions:
Download the following .ZIP file and extract files into a folder on your web server and create a site in IIS.

The IIS application domain user account must have access to the database servers in which you want QuickReportz to have access. The IIS application domain user account must also have permissions to read and write from the windows registry on the web server in which the application is hosted.


The following links demonstrate setting up a site in:

  • Microsoft IIS 7

    NOTE: If installing in a load-balanced environment ensure that sticky sessions are enabled


Step 2: Create a blank database on your database server:
Create a blank database called QuickReportz on your database and assign permissions to the IIS user account that will be used to access the QuickReportz database or create a designated account.


The following links demonstrate setting up a blank database in:


Step 3: Open a web browser and navigate to the website you setup in step 1 and the installer will automatically start


It may take a couple minutes for the page to render for the first time after which time a login page will be shown.  By default the password for the installer is "password", it is recommended this is changed within the web.config after installation.



Enter the password and click the "Login" button


Enter configuration information as follows



  • Install Password
    • Optionally change the default password used by the installer
  • Connection String
    • Enter a valid connection string to the blank quickreportz database you created in the previous step.
  • Security Mode
    • Choose the security mode, windows or forms.  Click here to learn more about authentication options.



Click next once the information is accurate.  If any changes have been made these will be saved and the installer will restart and require you to login (with the new password if it has been changed).



The following screen will verify connection with the database server and the blank database created in the previous step; any errors will be reported and will need to be resolved by either updating security or typically altering the connection string.  If no errors are found installation can continue and the system will be setup after click "Initiate Upgrade".




The final page shows the results of the upgrade.  Click the "here" link to start using QuickReportz
