Setup
Setup from the Web application Archive (.WAR)
For deploying the .war archive over Tomcat (or other servlet container) it is necessary to have pre-installed:
• Java 1.6 or later
• Java Advanced Imaging
• Tomcat 6.0.16 (or later)
• PostgreSQL 8.0 (or later), Microsoft SQL Server 2005/DE (or later) Oracle 10g/XE (or later) MySQL 5.0 (or later).
Follow these steps::
1. Create an empty database with UTF-8 character set and at least 50Mb of initial free space as described on the notes for each DBMS.
2. Download and uncompress hipergate-7.0.x-aa.zip at your home directory.
3. Deploy file hipergate.war using Tomcat Manager.
4. Browse http://server:port/admin/setup.htm for starting the Setup Wizard.
Tasks to be done after setup:
1. Configure /WEB-INF/web.xml.
2. Configure security.
