Installation

Geoconcept Web is a series of Geoconcept components offering functionalities for building a cartographic website.

In addition to the Geoconcept add-ons, in order to operate the solution requires a JVM, a web server, an application server and a database. With the exception of the JVM, all the precited elements can be installed via the Geoconcept Web Installation wizard.

[Warning] Warning

Essential to every configuration will be the prior installation on the host machine of a Java virtual machine. Cf. paragraph System requirements.

There are two possible methods for installing the solution:

  • The Automatic installation installs all components supplied, including the database (PostgreSQL). This method is recommended since it handles all the parameter settings necessary and once completed, the solution can be used immediately. Refer to the Automatic installation document;
  • A Custom installation if some of the components are already installed, notably the applications server or the database server. This is aimed at advanced users wishing to customise the installation.

In the case of a custom installation, it may be necessary on completion of the installation, to perform a certain number of configurations, depending on the choices made:

  • Configuring Tomcat;
  • Configuration of the database.

For further details of these parameter settings, consult the chapter called Manual installation
