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