Installation

  • The Proline Web Extension is based on the use of MongoDB database engine. You need to download it and install it either on the computer which will host the Proline Web Extension server, or any other network-accessible computer. You will find the installation files on this page : http://www.mongodb.org/downloads
  • Download and run the Proline Web Extension Installer

Configure the Server

If you installed your MongoDB database on a different computer than the Proline Web Extension server, you'll need to edit the Proline Web Extension configuration file :

  • Go to the installation directory of your Proline Web Extension server
  • Go to the “config” folder and open the “pwx.conf” file with any text editor (like Window default Notepad)
  • Setup the “mongo_db_config” “host” parameter with the right URL to your MongoDB server (ex: 'mongodb:185.532.02.33:27017' or 'mongodb:distant_computer_name:27017')
  • If you defined a specific user and password on your MongoDB server, you should add them as “user:“user_name” and “password:“your_password” parameters

If MongoDB is installed on the same computer as the Proline Web Extension server, you don't need to configure anything at this time.

Launch The Server

  • First, please make sure that MongoDB is running. If it's not, please start it manually.
  • In order to start the Proline Web Extension server components, go to its installation folder, and launch the “start.bat” script. This script will start the following programs :
    • The Gearman service : this is a program used to supervise and manage heavy tasks requests that will be executed by the PWX Daemon program.
    • The PWX Daemon, that handles :
      • the heavy works that need to be ran in a separated Perl process
      • the events listenning and dispatching.
    • The PWX “Mojolicious” Program that is the actual web server. It runs the Web Desktop and the Applications.

Setup the Proline Service

  • The connection between the desktop and the proline core server is provided by the “proline” service. This service is included with the Proline Web Extension package, but it needs to be registered and configured as a service for your Web Desktop server. The following steps will explain how :
  • To set it up, go to “Start”>“Administration”>“Services Manager”. On the “Services Directory Browser”, you should see the “proline” service appear in the the table. Click on its name to select it, and click the “Register” button. You should be notified when it has been registered properly.
  •  Service Registering Interface screenshot
  • Once the registration is dont, click on the “Registered Services” tab, select “proline” in the Grid Table, and then click on “Configure”
  •  Proline Configuration Interface screenshot
  • You must set up the right connexion informations and data directories in order to access the Proline Core Web services properly
  • You must set up two path to the mascot data root folder : one for the desktop (pwd_mascot_data_root) and one for jetty (pwc_mascot_data_root). These to paths must point to the same folder. There are two of them because you need the Proline Web Extension server and the Proline Web Core server may not access it via the same way. Fill it the right way so the both servers can access the same directory. If they are on the same network and use the same OS (i.e Windows), you can set up the same path on both fields.
  • Set up the SQL Server connection settings, and the path to the raw files and mzdb files root directory.
  • Once it's done, simply click “Save Configuration”
  • To make sure that the “admin” user is registered in the UDS DB, you need to logout and login, in order to make the Proline Service to check your status in the UDS DB, and create your account if you're not registered yet
