Installation
How to install Mortíforo
- Download the latest release
- Unpack it in your webapps directory of your application server and rename the directory to whatever you
like
- Edit the file WEB-INF/config.properties to adjust your settings
- Configure your application server to add the connection pool to your database. Sample configuration
files for Tomcat (WEB-INF/mortiforo.xml) and Resin (WEB-INF/resin-web.xml) are supplied. You also need to make
sure the JDBC drivers for your database are installed in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the application
- Load the initial database file. If you are using PostgreSQL, from the psql client, create a database and
import the WEB-INF/db/dbpostgres.sql and WEB-INF/db/postgresqueries.sql with the command: \i <file>. If you
are using Oracle then use the files dboracle.sql and oraclequeries.sql respectively
- Point your browser to the proper URL you installed the project into. Currently there are some users
and messages posted to test the system. The administrator account and password are both "admin". Feel free to delete
the forums/categories and disable their accounts
If you get a white screen or something goes wrong, check your server logs
