You will need to do some configuration work upfront. Currently, you need to create a file named `config.properties` inside the `src/main/webapp` folder. The easiest way of doing this is to copy the provided `config.properties.example` and to rename it accordingly. These defaults should get you started.
## Server configuration
In order to build up a full featured server installation containing ARSnova2 and CouchDB you have to install at least the following services:
* Apache Tomcat 7.0.29 (or newer)
* Apache Webserver 2.2 or newer with buildin mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ajp and mod_proxy_http
* Apache CouchDB
Make sure all services are installed. Next step is to configure the Apache Webserver. Find the configuration file or create a new one for use with a virtal host. This depends on your needs. At least you should have a configuration containing these settings:
<Location/couchdb/>
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:5984/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:5984/
</Location>
<Location/>
ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/
ProxyPassReverse ajp://127.0.0.1:8009/
</Location>
This will redirect all requests for "/couchdb/..." to your Apache CouchDB server, running on port 5984.
All other requests will be send to your Apache Tomcat servelt container, using AJP running on port 8009.
To enable the needed Apache Webserver simply type:
# a2enmod proxy
# a2enmod proxy_ajp
# a2enmod proxy_http
The configuration is ready for development usage.
Finally you should (re)start all services. ARSnova2 is now listening on HTTP port 80.
