Installation.

Installation Guide.

Before you download the File Manager please make sure that your server meets the system requirements. Installation itself is straight forward but would depend upon the servlet container that you actually use. The installer will produce a Web Application Archive (WAR) file. Most servlet containers allow you to deploy web applications merely by copying it's WAR file into a designated folder. You will need to refer to your servlet container's documentation for details.

In order to carry out the installation you will need to have your receipt number at hand. This number is included in the email that you received when you placed your order with us. If you do not have this email please contact us and we will send this information to the address you provided when downloading.

In the first dialog that appears when you start up the installer please enter your receipt number as described above. In the field labeled 'Descriptive Name for your site' please enter something appropriate. Many users enter the full company name here and the shorter version of the company name for the Brief Name field. This information will be saved in the web application deployment descriptor. You can modify the data later by directly editing that file.

During the second step the system will ask you for the hostname or IP address of your database server. (Currently only the Postgres server is supported). you will also need to enter your username and password along with the 'catalogue name' or database name. If in doubt please contact your database administrator (DBA).

If you have previously installed the file manager, please select the checkbox marked 'skip table creation' this will prevent the installer from attempting to recreate the database schema and protect against data loss.

During the third step you will be asked to specify the Context Path for your installation of the file manager. This path name will be reflected in the full url for your installation. For example if your website is at http://www.radinks.net/ and you want the file manager to be accessible via http://www.radinks.net/fileman/ you will need to set the context path as /fileman. If you enter '/' as the Context path the url for your installation will be http://www.radinks.net/

	If your prefer not to do the installation yourself, we can perform the installation for you for a fee of $100.00

The installer will ask you where you want to save uploaded files. Please make sure that the path name you enter into this field is writable by the 'user who owns the servlet container process'. Your system administrator will be able to provide you with this information.

You will also be asked to enter the global quota settings. These values will be saved in a property file with in your web application folder and you can change these settings at anytime by editing that file.

You can override the default quota settings for individual users after installation by editing the user's profile via the admin interface. Finally you will need to open the designer.properties file and make sure that the urls defined in it match your installation.

Contact us if you require any clarifications on the installation process.

After installation you can change the configuration by editing the fileman.properties file.
