Installing an Example Publication

You are recommended to use the temp-dev publication for learning purposes. This publication is intentionally very simple, and it is used in most of the examples in this guide. You should find the publication WAR file (temp-dev.war) in the <engine.root>/contrib/wars/ folder of your Escenic installation.

Get a copy of temp-dev.war and upload it to the Content Engine as described in Creating/Updating Publication Resources. As part of this process you will be asked to specify a name for the publication, and an administrator password, which you will need to use later. For a more detailed description of how to create new publications, see the Escenic Content Engine Installation Guide.

You should now verify that the publication is correctly installed in the Content Engine. To do this:

1. Point your browser to http://server-name:port/studio.

2. Click on the Launch Escenic Content Studio button displayed on this page. Escenic Content Studio is then downloaded to your PC (this can take a while the first time you do it). When downloading is complete, a login dialog is displayed.

3. Log in to the new publication. You must use a username formed by adding "_admin" after the name of the publication. If, for example, you called the publication temp-dev, then the admin user name is temp-dev_admin. The password is the one you specified when creating the publication.

You should then see something like this:

Once that is done, deploy the publication on your application server as described in Deployment. To verify that the deployment was successful, point your browser at http://server-name:port/publication-name, where publication-name is the name of your publication. If you used the WAR archive deployment method, then this will be the same as the name of the WAR archive (temp-dev). If you used the EAR archive deployment method, then it will be the name you specified in temp-dev.properties. You should then see something like this:
