3 Deploy Deployment describes the recommended installation of the Backbase Community Edition (CE) on the following Web servers: • •
Deploying on Apache Deploying on MS Internet Information Services (IIS)
The instructions assume the following: • • •
You have already installed Apache or MS IIS Your Backbase installation directory is C:/Backbase Your Backbase projects directory is C:/MyBackbaseProjects
If you have set up your environment differently, you will need to make the necessary path adjustments.

Page 7/14/
3.1 Deploy on Apache To configure Apache: 1. Open the httpd.config file located in your Apache Group/Apache2/conf folder. 2. Add aliases and directory authorization to enable your Web server to locate your Backbase installation directory and project directory: Alias /icons/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/icons/" Alias /myapps/ "C:/MyBackbaseProjects/" Alias /Backbase/ "C:/Backbase/3_1/" Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost Options Indexes MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost
3. Restart Apache. 4. Test that the installation was successful by entering the URL (and clicking the text): http://localhost:80/Backbase/skeletons/basic-startup.html

3.2 Deploy on MS IIS To configure MS IIS: 1. Start the MS IIS console: Choose Start->Control Panel->Admin Tools 2. Select the Default Web Site node and choose New->Virtual Directory
3. In the Virtual Directory Creation Wizard, enter an Alias for your Web application, for example Backbase. 4. Browse to the directory where you installed Backbase, for example C:/Backbase, and click OK. 5. Test that the installation was successful; in the /skeletons directory, select basic-start-up.html, and choose Browse from the popup menu. Click the text to check the installation.

6. Repeat the process to add a virtual directory with an alias MyBackbaseProjects to enable your Web server to locate your project directory.
4 Test Testing describes how to create and test your first Backbase application.
The instructions assume that you have created a directory C:/MyBackbaseProjects to use as your project directory and configured your Web server to access it. 1. Copy and paste basic-startup.html from /Backbase/3_1/skeletons to /MyBackbaseProjects 2. Rename the file myFirstApp.html 3. Open the file in a text editor and change the <script> and sections in the file as follows to enable it to locate the BPC:My First Backbase Application <script type="text/javascript" src="/Backbase/3_1/bpc/boot.js" > <xmp b:backbase="true">
4. Test the configuration in your browser by entering http://localhost:80/myapps/myFirstApp.html (Apache) or http://localhost/myBackbaseProjects/myFirstApp.html (IIS)

Page 10/14/
4.1 Modify and test project files When you have got your first Backbase application up and running, add some functionality then test it: 1. Open myFirstApp.html in a text editor. 2. Replace the contents of the <xmp> (the BXML space) with the following:
3. Test the configuration in your browser by entering http://localhost:80/myapps/myFirstApp.html (Apache) or http://localhost/myBackbaseProjects/myFirstApp.html (IIS)

5 Explore Explore describes the resources available to help you get started building more complex Backbase web applications.
Backbase provides starter kits that are sample applications designed to help get you started developing more complex web applications. You can use the source code provided by the starter kits as a basis for developing a Backbase Web application. The starter kits are sample applications that demonstrate the most widely used types of Web applications. You can access them from the Backbase/3_1/index.html page:

Page 12/14/
The starter kits are located folder in your Backbase/3_1/starterkits directory. You can also open the starter kits in your web browser directly by entering the following URL: http://localhost:80/Backbase/starterkits/petshop/ (Apache) or http://localhost/Backbase/starterkits/petshop/index.html (IIS). The developer tools and reference documentation are available by pressing the Esc button.
6 Download and unzip production version The production version of the Community Edition is optimized for deploying a Backbase application in a production environment. It therefore does not include developer tools and resources available in the developer version. The installation and configuration procedures are exactly the same as for the development version. However, you need to make sure that unzip the production version using the same directory structure as you used for development, so that you do not need to adjust the <script> path information in your startup file.
