Step 5: Configuring Application Server

1- Upload the iObeya installation directory

1. Connect Connect to the application server with the user account used to run Tomcat.

2. Upload the <install_folder> to the server.

2- Deploy the iObeya webapp

Tomcat directory

1. Copy the ROOT.xml context file into the path_to_tomcat_directory/conf/Catalina/localhost directory of Tomcat. If these directories do not exist, they should be created manually.

2. Copy the new JDBC drivers into the path_to_tomcat_directory/lib/ directory of Tomcat.

   1. For MySQL: MySQL: Download Connector/J

   2. For MariaDB: MariaDB: Download Connector/J

   3. For Oracle: Oracle: Download JDBC drivers

      Note:

      • Check the iObeya technical requirements to identify which version of the JDBC drivers you should use according to your database server.

      • From our experience, we get better performance with the MariaDB JDBC connector compared to the MySQL JDBC connector.

iObeya webapp directory

1. Copy the content of <install_folder>/iobeya/ into the docBase folder.

2. Copy the log4j2.xml file into the log4j2FilePath folder.
