Downloading the WAR File
The VetView project is packaged nice and neat in a WAR file. Here is the Downloads page/wiki/spaces/TECH/pages/3735625
You can rename the WAR file if desired. Whatever the name is will affect the URL to the project. See how to deploy your WAR file to the root of your domain.
Deploying the WAR File
- Once you have the WAR, you can put it somewhere your web server can see it.
- To deploy it, the easiest way is to start Tomcat and go into the Tomcat Web Manager.
- Once inside, you can click on 'Choose File' in the deploy section and navigate to wherever you've stored the WAR.
- Click 'Deploy' and the Web Manager & Tomcat will build the VetView file structure for you and place it inside the webapps folder (inside the tomcat directory).
Although the project will be running, we're not quite ready to log into it. You won't be able to authenticate yet (unless you log in with the Administrator Account). We handle that in the next step.
