Smilehouse Workspace HOWTO Articles

Installing Workspace on Windows - Running Workspace Installer

After installing platform softwares and setting environment variables, you are ready to run the Workspace installer.

Download the Developer version installer at http://workspace.smilehouse.com/download.shtml or use the installer you acquired on your license CD.

New installation procedure requires that each organization has a virtualhost defined.
You should also change your network DNS settings to match with this configuration.
Create a CNAME record that points to the server. For example for "ws-serverX" server create "*.ws-serverX" CNAME.

How to set up DNS settings you can watch at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/29578757-6a77-4b96-9996-20405689a0791033.mspx?mfr=true

Open $WORKSPACE_HOME/organization.properties file for example like this: nano $WORKSPACE_HOME/organization.properties and map the virtualhost to organization.
Example: verkkokauppa.ws-serverX.smilehouse.com=verkkokauppa

Tomcat configuration
Create virtual host for the Workspace version to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml.

	<Host name="(build).ws-serverX.smilehouse.com" appBase="/home/workspace/client_app_base" unpackWARs="false">
		<Context docBase="/home/workspace/clients/workspace.client_standard_(build).war" path=""/>
		<Alias>verkkokauppa.ws-serverX.smilehouse.com</Alias>
	</Host>
					
	<Host name="localhost" appBase="/home/workspace/admins" unpackWARs="false">
		<Context docBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT" path=""/>
		<Alias>admin.ws-serverX.smilehouse.com</Alias>
	</Host>
				

After the installation

After the installation you should restart Tomcat.

The Workspace Administration Interface should now be found at:
http://localhost:8080/workspace.admin/Login
or
http://shop.mycompany.com/
or
http://shop.mycompany.com/workspace.admin/
Depending on the options you selected while installing Workspace.

The default user name and password for the Administration Interface are user and password.
