Deploying to LAN - Desktop and Web Clients
Under Construction
A Guide to Sharing Lianja Apps and Data between Desktop clients and Web/Mobile clients on a LAN.
Server Setup
- Install the Lianja Cloud Server on the chosen server on your LAN.
- Here it is installed on the E: drive of an XP Virtual Machine.
- Create a share point on your server to the drive on which you installed Lianja.
- Here E: is shared as L.
Deploying to the Server
- In the Deploy workspace create a new deployment settings profile by clicking New and specifying a name.
- Here it is MyLAN_settings
- Change the Directory to point to \lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\ on the Server shared drive.
- Here S: has been mapped to L on the Server, so Directory is S:\lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\
- Check the Server to see your deployed files.
- Remember to deploy your database and any additional Library script files as well as your Apps.
- For Web Clients, the index.html file must also be copied to the lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\wwwroot\apps\<appname>\ directory on the server.
- The index.html file is copied into your local \lianja\cloudserver\tenants\public\wwwroot\apps\<appname>\ directory when you Deploy from the Web App View.
- This will be handled automatically in a future release.
Desktop Client
To run your deployed Apps from the Desktop Client. Install the App Center on the Client (on C: in the example here), then configure as follows:
- Map a drive on the client to the Lianja drive on the Server.
- Here Z: has been mapped to L (the Lianja drive) on the Server. For versions prior to 1.4.1, use the same letter as the server drive, e.g. map L: to L on the Server.
- Specify the --runtimedir <drive> switch on the App Center shortcut command
- Here the command becomes: C:\lianja\bin\lianjaruntime.exe --runtimedir Z:.
- For versions prior to 1.4.1, you should also specify the --networkshare switch. This is turned on automatically in v1.4.1 and later.
Web Client
To run Web or Mobile Apps, just point your browser at the IP address of the server.
- If you are using the IIS extension or have port 80 enabled:
http://192.168.X.X/login.rsp
- If you are running without port 80 enabled.
http://192.168.X.X:8001
