Homework 2 - COAP 3180 Fall 2 2007
Summary
Go on with the classroom activity, i.e.
- Configure a portal in a WAMP setting
- We strongly suggest to use the Joomla system
Homework tasks
- Think about a web application done with a content management system
- Examples: A portal for an association or an institution
- Select an environment to work with, i.e. choose between:
- WOS on a memory stick. Easiest to install. Runs from any directory, including a memory stick
- A WAMP of your choice on your personal laptop. We suggest to download and install WampServer]. You get some extra functionality compared to WOS, but it will not run on a memory stick
- Installation with a web hosting service. Best solution if you plan to profit from this course to start a web application that you actually might use.
Dates
- This homework is due at start of the week 3 Monday lesson
- The instructor will ask you to present purpose and current state
- A further homework will then require from you to add extra information / modules
- Each homework counts 10% in your global evaluation. The six best homeworks will be taken into account.
Evaluation
- Task completion (all required elements are present)
- Quality of the start page
Tip: Quality is essentially related to the idea that your applications are useful to a given range of users. Tips on how to do this are below.
Tips about the LAMP/WAMP environment
WOS
The instructor will provide you with 2 versions of a wos distribution.
Medium distribution
wos-dist.zip
- includes several web applications
- May take up to an hour to unzip on a memory stick
- Takes about 182 MB (!) on a stick and 123 MB on a hard disk
Small distribution
wos-joomla.zip
- only includes the Joomla portal
- Unzips in about 5-10 minutes.
- Takes about
You also can "mix" your own if you wish to try. Go to: http://www.chsoftware.net/en/useware/wos/wos.htm?action=download
Make sur that you get:
- An Apache webserver
- A MySQL database server
- A PhP
- Joomla
IMPORTANT: Install a wos mix first on your harddisk. Installing it on a memory stick may create write errors. You then can copy to a memory stick (again this may take an hour or more, since memory sticks take a long time to copy a few thousands of little files).
