Manual Installation and Setup of Apache2 to Access Web Application Resources

Below is the example of manual installation and setup of Apache2 to access web application resources in Linux OS.

TIP. To install web application back end in Linux OS, it is recommended to use distribution files included in software package of Foresight Analytics Platform.

To install web application back end manually:

Male sure that BI server is installed.
Create a directory to store web application back end files, for example: /opt/foresight/fp/10.x.
Copy the pp.war archive from the Java_PPWeb folder included in the software package.
Copy the pp.war archive to the directory /opt/foresight/fp/10.x and unpack it using the command:

unzip pp.war

Open the PP.xml file located in the directory /opt/foresight/fp/10.x/config to set up web application configuration. The file contains the following structure by default:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pp>
<service url="" />
<metabase id="" />
</pp>

Set BI server connection parameters:

service. Specify the path to the folder with BI server, as a value of the url attribute:

If BI server was installed using the installation package:

http://localhost:8810/fpBI_App_v10.x/axis2/services/PP.SOM.Som

If BI server was installed to Apache2 web server:

http://localhost:80/axis2/services/PP.SOM.Som

If BI server was started using the axis2_http_server service application:

http://localhost:9090/axis2/services/PP.SOM.Som

metabase. Specify the repository identifier specified during the BI server setup in the registry.reg or Metabases.xml file, as a value of the id attribute. For details about the files see the Configuration and Setup section.

The example of the PP.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pp>
<service url="http://localhost:8810/fpBI_App_v10.x/axis2/services/PP.SOM.Som"/>
<metabase id="WAREHOUSE" />
</pp>

After executing the operations, web application back end is installed. Determine advanced settings for Apache2 depending on the operating system, in which the web server is running:
