In House Bundle Unix Installation Instructions

From Frevvodocs

Jump to: navigation, search

frevvo provides a bundle that includes Tomcat V6 and has the frevvo web application, the database connector web application and the Google connector web application pre-deployed and pre-configured. The bundle works on Windows, Linux and Mac systems without any further configuration. If you are evaluating frevvo Live Forms, we strongly recommend the bundle.

Upgrading Customers IMPORTANT For Upgrading Customers, please refer to Upgrading your Form Server. Customers upgrading from a prior Live Forms release... must copy their existing user and assets directories to <frevvo-home>/frevvo/data before starting v3 for the 1st time.

  1. Download the software from the frevvo web site. You will need to login with your frevvo account. Download the Tomcat bundle.
  2. Ensure that you do not have another server running on port 8082.
  3. Unpack the frevvo.zip file to the location of your choice: e.g. /Users/me/frevvo. We'll refer to this directory below as <frevvo-home>.
  4. Ensure that the scripts are executable: chmod 755 <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/*.sh
  5. Start frevvo: <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run. This starts Tomcat on port 8082 with frevvo pre-configured and displays the Tomcat log in your terminal.
  6. In your browser, go to http://<server-name>:8082/frevvo/web.
  7. On the page that is displayed, copy and paste the license that you generated and click Submit.
  8. Follow the steps below if frevvo displays an Upgrade page:
    1. Click the Continue button. frevvo will initialize itself.
    2. The "installation complete" page will be displayed when initialization is complete.
    3. Restart frevvo: <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh stop. When Tomcat has stopped, restart using <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run.
  9. In your browser, go to http://<server-name>:8082/frevvo/web.
  10. Login to frevvo as user "admin", password "admin". Change the admin password if you want.
  11. We recommend that you do not use the admin user to create your own forms. Add a new user for that purpose.
  12. Click the "manage" link in the top right menu.
  13. On the page that is displayed, click the "Manage Users" link.
  14. Click the Image:add.png icon, fill in the form and submit it. The user will be created.
  15. Logout of the admin account and login as the new user.
  16. Live Forms is installed and ready for use.
