  • Unzip the package ST-Server.zip in a directory of your choice
  • Just make sure that you have no other copy of st-server in the same folder, or they will clash with each other (this happens for historical reasons, due to an old requirement for ST to look for extensions in folders which are siblings of its installation folder. This feature will be removed from the next version)

In the directory ST-Server, there are batch files for Windows (.bat) and UNIX (.sh) to run the server.

A further integration step would ask for VocBench OSGi bundle {ST.VB-BUNDLE.VERSION} to be copied inside the ST-Server directory under folder ST-Server\extensions\service. However, the OSGi bundle already comes packed inside the ST-Server, so perform this only if you get a specific update of the OSGi bundle.


2Import the Administrator Database SQL Dump File ({VB.DB.VERSION}) on MySQL Server

EXAMPLE: debian: mysql -u {your.db.user} -p < administrator20.sql

3VOCBENCH Setup  

  • Drop the {VB.VERSION} .war file in the Tomcat webapps folder and start Tomcat

  • VB allows updating your configuration file at the time of first load after installationReach vocbench at the address: http://localhost:8080/vocbench/ (the port depends on your Tomcat settings). A configuration menu will be shown. All properties the values of which are filled with xxxx should be mandatorily filled set by the user, while the others may be kept as they are (though can be customized as well). Note that any specificity in the installation of the other tools may require changes in these properties (e.g. the DB.CONNECTIONURL may need to be changed to reflect a different port for your MySQL installation).

    • for a plain simple installation, with standard MySQL settings, the minimal requirement is to set the password of the root account of the DB. All the other configuration parameters can be left unchanged, thus assuming the default values. These parameters can be changed later by explicitly invoking the configuration menu from inside VB.

  • See also the System Administration Guide for more information on these properties.
