<p>If you want to connect <b>Document Server</b> to the <b>Community Server</b> portal installed on your local or remote server, you might need to alter configuration files both on the computer with <b>Community Server</b> and <b>Document Server</b> installed. So please first make sure you have administrator access to both machines.</p>
<p>Normally to connect <b>Document Server</b> to <b>Community Server</b> version 8.1 and later you only need to set up connection parameters in portal settings. To do that please go to <b>Settings</b> and select <b>Integration</b> - <b>Document Service</b>. Then simply fill in all the fields with the appropriate <b>Document Server</b> service addresses.</p>
<p>In case this does not work or you are using <b>Community Server</b> earlier than version 8.1 and you are sure that the <b>Community Server</b> version is compatible with the <b>Document Server</b> version you are trying to connect (please consult the table above to see if that is so), you will need to perform the actions below, editing the configuration files.</p>
<p>First of all you need to alter the <b>web.appsettings.config</b> file which can be found in the <code>/var/www/onlyoffice/WebStudio/</code> folder of the <b>Community Server</b> computer. Open it with a text editor (e.g. <b>nano</b>):</p>
<p>Where <code>documentserver-publicaddress</code> is the address of the computer with <b>Document Server</b> available for public networks, <code>documentserver-localaddress</code> is the address of the computer with <b>Document Server</b> available for local network and <code>communityserver</code> is the address of the computer with <b>Community Server</b> installed.</p>
<div class="notehelp">For <b>Community Server</b> version earlier than <b>9.6</b> you will need to edit the following lines:
<p>Where <code>documentserver</code> and <code>communityserver</code> are the addresses of the computers with <b>Document Server</b> and <b>Community Server</b> installed.</p>
<div class="notehelp">In case there are problems with documents, you can try to change the <add key="web.client.cache.resetkey" value="3" /> line of the <b>web.appsettings.config</b> file entering any other numerical value instead of <b>3</b>.</div>
