Install the Web Server

The web server provides the web-enabled views on the TICS quality database(s). The default Web Server of TICS (TICS Viewer) runs on Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat is distributed with the TICS setup. The installation consists of the following steps:

1. Double click on the TICS setup executable (which was stored in a previous step). Confirm all choices when asked whether you are sure you want to run this software (from an unknown publisher).

   

2. Click "Next >".

   

   

3. Choose "Multi Server" in the drop-down list and only check the option "TICS viewer" (this automatically also checks "JRE", and "Tomcat" which can be found by unfolding "TICS Infrastructure".

   Click "Next >".

   

   

4. Select the location of a Web Server section as the "Destination Folder", e.g., "C:\Program Files\TIOBE\TICS\WebServer\TICS" and click "Next >".

   For more information about TICS sections or if you want multiple Sections, see Configuring Sections.

   

   

5. The TICS installer downloads additional components from the internet during installation. If your computer has an active internet connection, you can skip this paragraph.

   You have to make these components available to the installer. You can download these components in an offline installer package from the TICS download site.

   If the installer cannot connect to the internet it will ask you to "Retry" or "Cancel". Click "Cancel".

   

   Please provide the location where where the installer can find these prerequisities, e.g. "C:\Downloads". Click "Next >".

   

   

6. Click "Install".

   

   

7. Wait until the installation has completed and click "Next >".

   

   

8. Click "Finish" to close the installer.

   

   

9. The Web Server installation is complete.
