Deploying to web server

When compiling and running the project in you machine, the project is already deployed in your local machine. In case you want to deploy the project in server, the server should meet this requirements:

• Tomcat 8
• MySQL 5.6 or MariaDB 10.1

Deploying the project to web server

1. Clean and build the project
2. Copy .war file from /dist/ folder in project root folder
3. Stop the Tomcat service in web server
4. Locate and navigate to the tomcat directory in web server
5. Paste the .war file into /webapps/ folder
6. Start the Tomcat service The project could be accessed from local machine from

   http://localhost:8084/your-webapps-name/

   or

   http://server-ip-address/your-webapps-name/

   Change the server-ip-address to your web server ip address and your-webapps-name to .war file name from before.

(Optional) Edit the webapps into ROOT webapps

To change and access your webapps url from

http://server-ip-address/your-webapps-name/

to

http://server-ip-address/

You could rename .war to ROOT.war before deploying to web server. If this method doesn't work then most likely your Tomcat is configured to use auto-deploy. For this situation, you need to edit the configuration with step as follow:

1. Stop the Tomcat service in web server
2. Locate and navigate to Tomcat directory in web server
3. Go to /conf/ folder

4. Edit server.xml to add this code in Host node (right before </Host> tag) change the appcontext name to match the .war file

   
   <Context path="" docBase="yourAppContextName">
   
   <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
   <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

5. Go back to Tomcat root directory, go to webapps folder
6. Delete folder ROOT
7. Start the Tomcat service in web server, the webapps now accessible from root url
