FlexDeploy Community Edition Installation
Installation pre-requisites
A windows laptop/desktop or windows server
If the computer has a previous release of FlexDeploy installed, the installer will uninstall that version, install the new version and perform the database schema upgrade.
After installing new version, you may delete the old FlexDeploy software directory.
To perform a new install of FlexDeploy, uninstall the previous version, remove the previous version directory, and drop the FF, FD, and FD_ADMIN schemas in the Oracle XE databases. The installer will then perform a new install.
To uninstall any version of FlexDeploy, double click on the "unins000.exe" application in the install location of that version of the software.
Knowledge of the directory path, TNS listener port, and system password is required to access the existing version of Oracle XE.
Another installation of GlassFish may co-exist, but must be stopped
Download FDsetup.exe from the Flexagon Dropbox site
The installer will ask where to install of the FlexDeploy software. Currently, this directory cannot contain spaces in the name. The remainder of this document will refer to this directory as %INSTALL_LOCATION%.
Installation Instructions
Run the FDsetup.exe file, reading all instructions and questions in the setup wizard carefully as to install FlexDeploy correctly.
After the completion of this setup, the GlassFish server is available with FlexDeploy running. Enter the following URL into a browser.
http://localhost:6791/flexdeploy/
