Server set up and adding project to the server

After the Ant building process gets over your project is now ready to be executed by the Tomcat server. For that you will have to select the appropriate server and add the project to the server.

We are using the Tomcat server here. Now if you are adding sever for the first time click on the server tab. In that tab right click on to the open space. A menu would pop up select   New / Server.

Now in the new server menu click on 'apache' and select 'Tomcat V6.0 Server'. In the next menu it would ask for the location of the apache tomcat directory (if it is the first time that you are using tomcat). Give the location and click next. Another menu would open up asking for the project that you wish to run. Select the 'guide' project and click add. After you have finished adding click finish.

Now you would find a new server added to the server tab. Right click on that server and click start. This would start the server.

Running the project on server

Now after your server gets started open any of your browser and type in the address 'http://localhost:8080/guide'.                                                                                                

The screens shots below will give you an overview of how the project 'guide' would look like.

 At First a login page would appear where you will have to type your login id and password. The default login id and password for the 'guide' project is admin.
