It is possible to configure multiple instances of the Project Reporter servlet
to run on the same web server or servlet engine. This allows you to specify a
different configuration directory for each instance, so that all settings and
administration functions (including data sources, user accounts, groups, report
views, etc.) are managed separately for each instance.
Note: In order to use multiple instances of the
Project Reporter servlet on the same server, you must obtain a separate license
and serial number for each instance, and monitor the client statistics for that
instance according to the license terms.
To create multiple instances of Project Reporter on the same server, perform the
following steps (these instructions are also included in the
web.xml
file contained in the
projectreporter.war
archive):
-
Install one instance according to the default instructions appropriate for your
server.
-
Create a copy of the resulting expanded directory — for example, copy
C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\projectreporter
to
...webapps\projectreporter2.
-
In the copied directory, edit the
web.xml
file, and change the value of the
webAppName
parameter to match the name of the copied directory (e.g.
projectreporter2).
-
To access the new instance, use a URL of the form:
http://localhost:8080/projectreporter2/prservlet
(you may need to restart the server first).
Note that any changes you make from this point on to the copied instance will
not be reflected in the original instance, and vice versa.
