ALOV Map's server side is implemented using Java® servlets and filters. They are running on our server under Tomcat 4.x. You may use any other server that is Servlet 2.2 compliant.
Tomcat can be downloaded from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html.
Step-by-step instructions for installing server software under Tomcat:
- Create a dir in [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps.
- Unzip the distribution zip file into this folder.
- The distribution contains demo an MS Access database which is the alovbase.mdb file in the
[installation_dir]/base dir. You have to create an ODBC DSN "ALOVBASE" for this database.
- Run Tomcat. Using your browser (depending on your configuration) go to : http://yourhost:port/[installation dir]/index.html
You may use as demo the MySQL, Interbase or Hypersonic databases.
- Download it from our download page.
- Restore the database from dump.
- If needed, download and install the appropriate JDBC driver
- MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc.html
- Interbase: http://info.borland.com/devsupport/interbase/opensource
- Hypersonic: http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/
- Ensure the JDBC driver that you are using is installed either at
- [TOMCAT_HOME]/lib
- [TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps/[installation_dir]/WEB-INF/lib.
- Either enter in admin zone and define
location of database or in the installation folder, find the dir WEB_INF/mapserv-home.
Open the file mapserv.xml and setup the connection parameters for the appropriate database manually.
