Overview

Printer Setup System is a center that provides a single point of contact between users and printers. User can install required printers to his computer without technical support help.

Installation

System can be deployed both Windows and Linux Tomcat 8 server with MYSQL.

Rename it to ROOT.war file.
Copy renamed WAR file to your Tomcat 8 installation WEBAPPS folder
Run http://yourserver:port/install, specify DB server ip (127.0.0.1 or localhost if mysql installed on the same server), login, password and press install button to create required tables
Open http://yourserver:port/login to login into the system. Login: admin password: admin. Do not forget to change password for security reasons

Fixing Issues

Database config file is located in: WEB-INF\classes\config.properties. To set manually database configuration change this file. To open install page, set: "db.configured=no". By default system creates "printersetupsystem" database and sets "db.configured=yes".

You can manually import database by loading WEB-INF\classes\printersetupsystem.sql file. To lock install page set "db.configured=yes" again.
