Web Server Setup

Make sure you download the necessary files as mentioned here

You need to modify the infocaptor_repository.php file in notepad or any text editor to update with the necessary information.

Let us assume the following

- Your webserver domain is http://xyzMyCompanyDomain.com

- You will place all the dashboards and InfoCaptor files in a directory under the webserver

- let us create a directory with a name "dashboards" under the domain http://xyzMyCompanyDomain.com

- Copy the following files in the "/dashboards" directory

----infocaptor_server.jar

----mysql-connector-java-5.0.5-bin.jar

----jtds-1.2.1.jar

----ojdbc14.jar

----Database configuration file(s)

----All your dashboard files (*.icv)

----Modify the infocaptor_server.php, save it and then copy it to /dashboards directory

--Once all the files are copied, you will launch InfoCaptor by simply typing the following URL on your browser

http://xyzMyCompanyDomain.com/dashboards/infocaptor_repository.php

Please proceed and update the infocaptor_repository.php file with the needed information

Code base path

The first thing that we need to provide is the location where the infocaptor_mysql.jar file is residing. (The steps are same if using infocaptor_oracle.jar or for other databases)

In the fictional example, your codebase="http://xyzMyCompanyDomain.com/dashboards"
