Install the WAR file

The installation of the WAR file is an alternative way of installing ScientificCMS.

  1. Unzip the WAR file into the webapps/ROOT directory
  2. Copy the JDBC driver for your database into the WEB-INF/lib directory. For PostgreSQL you have to use the 8.4 Driver even if your using PostgreSQL 9.1. The JDBC driver for PostgreSQL can be obtained at http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html. Select the newest version 8.4 version for JDBC 4.
  3. Change the current directory to the WEB-INF/bin directory in the unzipped WAR
  4. Call sh ccm prepare and set the runtime properties
  5. (Re-)start your Tomcat
