Info

OpenBD support is probably no not far off – give the community a shout if you are interested in this platform

...

This course and its associated walkthroughs, labs and sample code are based on the following local development environment:

  • Railo 3.3 (Express Version)
  • H2
  • Resin

The courseware is based on a FarCry Express demo installation, which has its own database and web server built-in.

...

In this walkthrough you will install and configure your local development environment.:

  1. Copy FarCry Bundle into Webroot the FarCry Express installation onto your local development workstation (http://www.farcrycore.org/download)
  2. Copy Locate the local Demo Media into webroot (Course materials will be available from your Instructorand Docs folders (they should be located within the FarCry Express distribution)
  3. Create a development project in your IDE
    1. Open the Eclipse IDE installed on your desktop
    2. Create a CFEclipse Project from the webroot of your local web server installationFarCry Express installation; for example, INSTALL-ROOT/farcry-express-install/webroot
    3. Browse the project and make sure you can see all the relevant FarCry code base directories
    Create a database (suggested steps assume mySQL 5.1)
  4. Open MySQL Administrator
  5. Create a new blank database (aka Catalogue)
    6. Open the ColdFusion Administrator and create a MySQL datasource pointing to your newly minted database

  8. Browse to http://localhost/farcry

Note
titleDouble Check That Everything is Working

Please ensure that your development environment is full functional before proceeding. This is critical for the success of the rest of the course. Friendly URLs will not work with the FarCry Express installation. This is a limitation of the Express demo only.

Tip
titleOther Environments

The course sample code should work in any operational environment that supports FarCry. However, the specific references in the walkthrough may need to be adjusted to reflect your actual development environment.
