To install the application, you just need to deploy the war archive in a web container like Tomcat
By default, a H2 database is created in the /tmp directory. To modify this behaviour, you only need to create the /etc/pollen.properties file ( you can put it into the directory from which you launch the application or your home directory) and to fill it with the following properties :
# database configuration hibernate.show_sql=false hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect hibernate.connection.username=username hibernate.connection.password=password hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.h2.Driver hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:h2:file://tmp/pollen/pollen # transfered pictures directory upImgDir=/tmp/pollen/uploadedImages # maximal size of transfered pictures (in bytes) upload.filesize-max=1048576 upload.requestsize-max=10485760 # automatic email sending configuration email_host=smtp.free.fr email_port=25 email_from=bot@pollen.org # syndication flux directory (Atom) feedDir=/tmp/pollen/feeds # site adresse (used for reminder emails) siteUrl=http://www.site.org/pollen/
For example, for a PostgreSQL database, we will have :
hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect hibernate.connection.driver_class=org.postgresql.Driver hibernate.default_schema=public
It may be necessary to redeploy the application after having modified this file;
A user with administration rights is automatically added (login "admin", password "pollen"). For safety measures, it is really important to delete this user (or modify its password) after having created another administrator account.
Since pollen-1.1.1, the war bundle embed a servlet container based on winstone. To run it, just launch with following command :
java -jar pollen-x.x.x.war
Then open a browser to address : http://localhost:8080/.
You can also use command line option to configure launch : http://winstone.sourceforge.net/#commandLine
