niota

The niota table management system is a PHP application. The document pages use the synonym N-PAPP for niota (PHP) application.

Visit niota download page and download proper release for N-PAPP.

• unzip the folder and rename it to your needs

—– Recommendation
Remove detailed version information from the folder name

• copy unzipped folder into folder: Apache\<document-root>. Further details can be found here

Do not overwrite an existing N-PAPP. In case you install a new release, name the new release differently than the old release or rename the old release.*

• navigate to app\conf folder and rename file connections_demo.php to connections.php.

There will not be a connections.php in any install, as it would overwrite your local config.

By this you set the pre-configured demo connections as the active niota connections for the system client. Check in connections.php if the MySQL server port for N-MDDB is set correctly and if it matches with the port configured in MySQL my.ini config file.

If you have already a valid and well configured connections.php file from a previous release, copy this file to this folder.

• check if Apache and PHP are up and running
• open a browser window and enter the login – URL

niota.url

   http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php
   
   or

   http://<my_host>/<my_niota_path>/app/login.php/?client=<myclient>

If your N-MDDB is not up and running, you cannot log in yet. Without N-MDDB you can check only the load of the login screen.

• ask your contact at about actual credentials to login, in case of a totally new install.
