Example Applications

There are two example applications provided with AOLserver:

• Bug Tracker: This AOLserver application is a bug tracking database that can be used to track bugs in a software development project. It uses no Tcl customizations except for a customized bug report.

• ACME Bike Parts: This AOLserver application handles catalog inventory and ordering. It uses Tcl customizations and can be used as a starting point for building an online store.

These example applications reside in the examples directory under your server installation directory.

1. Move the contents of the examples/tcl/bugtracker directory to the top of your pages directory. The bugtracker directory should be a subdirectory under your pages directory.

2. Create a database pool named sample.

3. Visit /bugtracker/bugtracker.sql and execute the SQL in the sample database pool you just created by clicking Post SQL. This will create the tables and table customizations for the example, and it will also insert example data into the tables.

4. The installation is complete. Go to /bugtracker/index.html to examine the application. The page contains a number of links to the various parts of the application and a description of how the application works.

1. Move the contents of the examples/tcl/acme directory to the top of your pages directory. The acme directory should be a subdirectory under your pages directory.

2. Create a database pool named sample (if you have not already done so by installing the Bug Tracker example).

3. Visit /acme/acme.sql and execute the SQL in the sample database pool you just created by clicking Post SQL. This will create the tables and table customizations for the example, and it will also insert example data into the tables.

4. The installation is complete. Go to /acme/index.html to examine the application. The page contains a number of links to the various parts of the application and a description of how the application works.
