The aim of this article is to provide an installation guide on how to set-up Ephox EditLive! for XML on a Tomcat web server. Tomcat has been chosen as it is a freely available and simple server, that clearly shows the major steps needed to get Ephox EditLive! for XML up and running on your server of choice.
Firstly you must download Tomcat if you do not already have it. You can download it from the Apache Jakarta Project.
Once Tomcat is installed correctly follow the below steps:
Stop your Tomcat web server.
Copy the webfolder directory from your Ephox EditLive! for XML installation directory (i.e. where you un-archived the downloaded Ephox EditLive! for XML ZIP file).
Paste the webfolder directory in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. Where TOMCAT_HOME represents the location of your Apache Tomcat install directory.
Rename the webfolder directory to something more meaningful, such as editlivexml.
Ephox EditLive! for XML should now be ready to run on your server. Simply direct your browser to http://yourserver.com:PORT/editlivexml (where yourserver.com is the name of your Web server and PORT is the port on the Web server that Tomcat is running on). If your web server is running on your local machine, on port 8080 for example, you would direct your browser to http://localhost:8080/editlivexml .
If you have followed the above steps correctly, your Tomcat web server should be now running the Ephox EditLive! for XML SDK.
