Configure IA server¶
- In this article:
Introduction¶
Image Archive is divided into two parts: server and client. Both of them needs to be configured. Lets see how to configure the server side.
To set up Image Archive server we have application container:
https://svn.imcode.com/imcode/customers/imagearchive/trunk
Set it up with next properties:
Database Configuration¶
For SQL Server: .. code-block:: properties
jdbc-driver = net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver jdbc-url = jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/;AppName=imCMS;DatabaseName=imcms hibernate-dialect = com.imcode.imcms.addon.imagearchive.util.SQLServerDialect
For MySQL: .. code-block:: properties
jdbc-driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver jdbc-url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/iarch_new?characterEncoding=utf8 hibernate-dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect
For both: .. code-block:: properties
jdbc-username = jdbc-password =
Hibernate Configuration¶
Automatically validates or exports schema DDL to the database when the SessionFactory is created.
hibernate-hbm2ddl-auto =
Possible values:
- validate: validate that the schema matches, make no changes to the schema of the database, you probably want this for production
- update: update the schema to reflect the entities being persisted
- create: creates the schema necessary for your entities, destroying any previous data
- create-drop: create the schema as in create above, but also drop the schema at the end of the session. This is great in early development or for testing.
Image Archive Own Configuration¶
URL to imCMS application that makes use of this Image Archive, as seen by the clients browser, in form:
<host> [“:” <port>] “/” <context-path>
For example: test.com/imcms or http://localhost:8080/skurup
imcms-root-url =
Path where all the images that are uploaded to Image Archive will be stored, can be relative or absolute.
For example: /var/image_archive
Warning
Be sure that user have rights to change folder content.
storage-path =
Path where temporary images that are being processed are stored.
For example: /tmp or C:/tmp
Warning
Be sure that user have rights to change folder content.
temp-path =
ImageMagick is a software suite for creating, editing and composing images. It can be downloaded from http://www.imagemagick.org. This path should lead to where ImageMagick is installed, and is required only on windows. For linux leave it empty.
For example: C:/program files/imagemagick-6.4.9-q16
image-magick-path =
Maximum size of an uploaded image in bytes. By default 250 MB.
max-image-upload-size = 262144000
Maximum size of an uploaded ZIP archive in bytes. By default 250 MB.
max-zip-upload-size = 262144000
URL path to login, in imCMS, relative to context path.
imcms-login-url-path = login
Name for a directory within libraries folder, that will contain each users personal library. This directory will be automatically created.
imcms-users-library-folder = users
Images from Image Archive that are being used by imCMS will be stored here, can be relative or absolute.
imcms-images-path =
Next two properties may be empty:
Path to libraries, can be relative or absolute. Each folder in this directory will become a library in Image Archive - these folders can be created using imCMS file manager. Each library can contain one or more raw images which can be activated in Image Archive.
imcms-libraries-path =
Absolute or relative paths separated by “;”. Each path will become a library in Image archive, can be used for gaining access to old Image Archive.
imcms-old-library-paths =
