Creating SiteStudio On-line Demo

Following this instruction, you can create a SiteStudio demo similar to ours.

To do this, you need to have a full version of SiteStudio with admin panel installed and running. If SiteStudio is installed to /home/SiteStudio1.6b/, do the following:

1. Make dirs:
   /home/SiteStudioDemo/
   /home/SiteStudioDemo/logs/
   /home/SiteStudioDemo/var/
   /home/SiteStudioDemo/var/websites/
   /home/SiteStudioDemo/psoft_config/
2. Copy all *.jar files from /home/SiteStudio1.6b/ to /home/SiteStudioDemo/ folder.
3. Copy tomcat:
   from /home/SiteStudio1.6b/tomcat to /home/SiteStudioDemo/tomcat;
   and /home/SiteStudio1.6b/psoft_config/masonry.properties to /home/SiteStudioDemo/psoft_config/.
4. Make the following symbol links:
   - in folder /home/SiteStudioDemo/psoft_config/
   ln -s ../../SiteStudio1.6b/psoft_config/langs langs
   - in folder /home/SiteStudio1.6b/
   ln -s ../SiteStudio1.6b/public_html/ public_html
   ln -s ../SiteStudio1.6b/templates/ templates
   ln -s ../SiteStudio1.6b/ss.jar ss.jar
5. Download ss.sh script for the demo version of SiteStudio.
   After that your folder must include the following:
   Acme.jar
   activation.jar
   com.fooware.net.jar
   ecs-1.1.jar
   freemarker.jar
   glf.jar
   gnu.regexp.jar
   jai_codec.jar
   jai_core.jar
   log4j-core.jar
   log4j.jar
   logs
   mail.jar
   mm.mysql.jar
   msbase.jar
   mssqlserver.jar
   msutil.jar
   postgresql.jar
   psoft_config
   public_html -> ../SiteStudio1.6b/public_html/
   ss.jar -> ../SiteStudio1.6b/ss.jar
   ss.sh
   templates -> ../SiteStudio1.6b/templates/
   tomcat
   var
   xalan.jar
   xerces.jar
   xml-apis.jar
   
6. Now you need to reconfigure tomcat for the SiteStudio demo to use ports different from 8080/8007, for example: 18080/18007.
7. Open /home/SiteStudioDemo/psoft_config/masonry.properties file and define there:
   PUBLISHER_CLASS = psoft.masonry.publisher.TestPublisher
   USER_CLASS = psoft.masonry.DemoUserInitializer
   
   DEMO_USER_DIR=/home/SiteStudioDemo/public_html/demo/
   DEMO_USER_URL=http://<your IP or domain name>:18080/demo/
   
   DEMO_MAXIMUM_USERS = 100
   DEMO_COOKIES_PERIOD = 31
   
   LIMITS=false
   NOPLUGINS=true
   EXAMINER = false
   ADMIN=false

Now you can start your on-line SiteStudio demo and access it at the following URL:
http://<your IP or domain name>:18080/servlet/psoft.masonry.Builder
