Technical Requirements
FAO suggests that the CountrySTAT system should be installed as part of the website of the implementing agency
Windows server either 2000 or 2003 with IIS 5.0 or 6.0
Install the PX-Web application (License from Statistics Sweden)
Configure the CountrySTAT System Directory Internet Guest Account (IUSR): Read& Write, Read, Write Launch IIS Process Account (IWAM): Read & Write, Read, Write When Windows 2003 is installed a local group is established called IIS_WPG.
This group should also be authorized to read & write.

1. First National Training (27 - 31 March 2006) Objective: to provide and enhance the skills of the
Statisticians and IT staff of different agencies in using the PC-Axis family of software which is the main engine of the CountrySTAT
Resource Persons: The three (3) personnel from NSCB and BAS who have earlier attended the training in Rome
Resulted in… • Development and implementation of Guidelines or Standards for
the creation of PX-files and,• The forging of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among
agencies involved.
