Hey David, I've only been testing Bimserver out using virtual box... so I'm no expert. If you are using Bimserver with the Bimviews plugin you can create new users and give out project level permissions. From there users can checkin IFC files as a client. I've tested this out with a friend via a remote connection running from my desktop. Haven't taken it much further yet. I'm looking for more control over the data at this point.

Hi David, How did you get to install the Bimview jar files on the bimserver, when I run the java file I get an error saying that this is not an executable ? Do I have to extract the file contents and place them somewhere ? I an missing these sets as the documentation is not all there only bit and snippets how someone cal help get the installation correct Many thanks in advance David

Copy the bimviews.jar file to the plugins directory of BIMserver. You can find that directory either in WEB-INF/plugins, or directly in /plugins is you run the JAR starter.

Hi Ruben, I have tried to follow the note when installing the BimServer, I run this as with java -jar .jar which brings up the windows to start, I can not see where the folders are except in the jar file, Do I extract the file and then run it as I have followed a sort of installation guide, but I need a bit more of a hand, do you have the step required to do install ? as I am lost a bit after I start the bimserver via the run file Many thanks David

Hi All,

Does anyone have a comprehensive installation guide please, as I must be missing some steps

Many Thanks in advance Regards, David

I think this one is pretty useful: https://github.com/opensourceBIM/BIMserver/wiki/JAR-Starter

DavidBenci commented 9 years ago

Hi Ruben,

I am on a Ubuntu 12.04 install, hope to get more detailed install on a Linux OS

dmet commented 9 years ago

If I'm understanding you correctly I think you followed the Ubuntu 12.04 install example found on the BIMserver link? If so try these steps... (replace xxxxx's with your folder name) 1. cd /var/www/xxxxx/ROOT/WEB-INF/plugins 2. wget https://github.com/opensourceBIM/bimvie.ws/releases/download/1.3.10-FINAL-2014-12-07/bimviews-1.3.10-FINAL-2014-12-07.jar 3. service tomcat7 stop 4. service tomcat7 start

steps 3 and 4 restart the tomcat service... this should bring you to the bimview start page.

The tutorial dmet is talking about: https://github.com/opensourceBIM/BIMserver/wiki/Install-on-Ubuntu.

It's not really clear if you are running the BIMserver JAR file, or WAR file (in Tomcat), you talk about both of them in your posts.

DavidBenci commented 9 years ago

Hi Ruben,

I am running the jar file with the following parameters : java -jar <bimserver.x.x.jar

Which starts and brings me to the admin page. I have also completed the steps which dmet has suggested and I still come to the admin page only.

What question do you have that I can provide answer to see if we can get this running Regards, David

rubendel commented 9 years ago

The instructions dmet provided are for the WAR. The JAR should have extraced itself in the directory you started it from. In this extracted directory you should find a plugins directory, put the BIMvie.ws JAR file in there, please check if there are already other jar files at that location, as there should be.

Also have a look in the log files if things don't seem to be working and post any errors here.

mrca commented 9 years ago

Hello @rubendel I have a similar issue and would therefore not like to open a new issue, but I have completely different settings: I have cloned the master repo and am running the project from Eclipse in Windows 7. I have installed the Bimviews plugin and can login normally but then I get the "Loading BIMviews... " window and nothing happens. Could you give me some pointers to what the problem might be? I also dont get anything under localhost:8080/admin address (blank).

Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the intrusion in the post.

What's in the javascript console?

How did you "install" the BIMvie.ws plugin? Checked-out from github? If so make sure you enable submodules (BIMsurfer is a submodule of BIMvie.ws). Also we are developing in the "1.3" branch of BIMserver, the "master" branch is not used anymore.
