openCRX Wiki

This installer creates an openCRX instance running on Tomcat 6 (extended by the openMDX Lightweight EJB Container) and MySQL 5. The installation comes with a preconfigured MySQL database. It contains data which is created when working through the openCRX quick start guide.

You can start and stop openCRX using the corresponding shortcuts created on the desktop by the installer. After starting openCRX you can login using a browser. Valid URLs are:
Application URL
openCRX/Core http://localhost:<TOMCAT_PORT>/opencrx-core-CRX/
openCRX/Store http://localhost:<TOMCAT_PORT>/opencrx-store-CRX/Store.jsp
openCRX/Wiki http://localhost:<TOMCAT_PORT>/opencrx-wiki-CRX/
The following accounts are preconfigured:
User Password
guest opencrx
admin-Standard opencrx
admin-Root opencrx

Troubleshooting

When you are not able to login then try the following:

  • Open an command shell
  • cd to ${installdir}/bin
  • Start openCRX with control.bat START on Windows platforms and ./control.sh START on Linux platforms
  • Check the console output for errors

WorkflowController

Here is how to start the workflow controller:

  • Login as admin-Root
  • Select Administration then the menu entry Wizards > openCRX Workflow Controller.
  • This activates and opens the WorkflowController servlet.
  • 'Turn on' / 'Turn off' allows to activate and deactivate openCRX background services.

Configure your own database

If you want to use another database system than MySQL or if you want to use another existing database instance you can configure the database connector as follows:

  • Copy the connector which matches your database from the directory ${installdir}/connector to ${installdir}/apache-tomcat-6/deployment-units.
  • Remove the unused connector directory in ${installdir}/apache-tomcat-6/deployment-units.
  • Adapt ra.xml which is located in the connector directory so that it matches your database instance.
  • Copy the matching JDBC driver to ${installdir}/apache-tomcat-6/lib.

Scripts to create tables, views, etc. for HSQLDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, IBM DB/2, and Oracle are included in the openCRX SDK.
