Own web-server with https, small data base

Java 1.6 and Tomcat 6.x are already installed. Follow these subsequent steps under Unix (Linux, Mac OS X etc.):

Download the distribution ProjectForge-force-SSL-<version>.war
Create ProjectForge.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost/ (see below) and modify data base account data if wanted.
Copy the data base driver Hypersonic (Downloads) into the Tomcat lib directory.
Deployment into Tomcat and re-start Tomcat if required.
Call web site http://localhost:8080/ProjectForge/.
Please follow the setup dialogue.
Finished.

ProjectForge.xml

$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/ProjectForge.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="" reloadable="false" debug="0" docBase="webapps" cookies="true">
  <Resource name="jdbc/ProjectForgeDS" type="javax.sql.DataSource" auth="Container" driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
    url="jdbc:hsqldb:${user.home}/ProjectForge/ProjectForgeTestDB" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="sa" password="" />
  <Parameter name="base.dir" value="${user.home}/ProjectForge" override="false" />

</Context>

Optional: run ProjectForge in root context

If the desire to run ProjectForge in the Tomcat's root context exists, then webapps/ROOT must be used as directory and ROOT.xml must be used instead of ProjectForge.xml.

Optional: configure https in the Tomcat if not already done:

Create key store for https:
keytool -genkey -keystore tomcat-localhost.keystore -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -keypass changeit -storepass changeit
Copy key store file to the Tomcat/conf/ directory.
