[WB26] Script to Install WAS on Ubuntu Server 20.04

Is the deployment guide available in English. When I look at the installation directory, only the French version is provided. The documents I am looking for describe how to install and configure WAS on Windows and Linux servers. There are three French documents provided and no English documents.

Hi,
Have you tried using Google translate?

It does a pretty good job nowadays

Also the installer for 10 cnx application Server is not in the usual place (only v25).

Another thing is that the installer on French pcsoft site can be set to french, english or spanish but still a lot of text of Application Server is in french and also al loty of error messages are in french!

Come on PCSOFT!

Well I kept at it and figured out how to install the Web Application Server on Ubuntu Server.

I created a VPS Ubuntu Server 20.04 instance at vultr.com. It was a High Frequency instances with 2 virtual CPUs costing $18 per month at their Seattle location. The following script installed the Web Application Server successfully,. (My test for "successful" is that the Precilia Winter example site deploys and displays without problems). Note: The script also installs the Webmin management software. The WDAdminWeb and WDAdminHF260 tools also work correctly.

Note: If your server will only have one web site you can add following
at the bottom of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

#redirect from root to subdirectory
RedirectMatch ^/$ /WW_PRECILIA_WINTER_WEB/UK/

You may also need to specify a 404 error document
# redirect on 404 to subdirectory
ErrorDocument 404 /thesubdirectory/index.html
