System requirements for installation

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Install the following programs on the intended server:

 

Java JDK 5.0 Update 1x

 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Apache Tomcat 5.5 Servlet/JSP Container

 http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi

 

Please note that Tomcat Version 5.5 is required. Many Linux distributions only come with version 5.0. In this case you must replace the Tomcat version included with the package with version 5.5.

 

You must install a suitable database if you do not use one yet or if your database is not supported by WebUntis. In this case we would recommend the database MySQL (version 4.1 or 5.0) ( http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ ).

 

You will need a Java-JDBC drive for the database you use. For licensing reasons WebUntis does not include these drivers. However, they can be downloaded from the Internet.

Please follow the driver installation instructions carefully. You normally only need to copy the driver files (with the .jar extension) from the installation package to the directory <tomcat_installation_directory>\shared\lib (under Windows e.g. C:\Programs\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\shared\lib).

 

If you do not have access to or user rights for the Tomcat directory, you can copy the drivers into the directory WebUntis\WEB-INF\lib after installing WebUntis.
