Installation prerequisites and other important information

Before installing Web Application Platform with services, you need to:

  • Have a working instance of Teamwork Cloud.
  • If you intend to install the Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud application, make sure that the FlexNet license server is installed beforehand.
  • Download the Web_App_Platform_<version number>_unix.sh file.

Before starting the installation, you should know the following:

  • We recommend installing Web Application Platform and Teamwork Cloud on different machines.
  • Before installing Web Application Platform, make sure you know Teamwork Cloud, Authentication server and FLEXnet server data, such as the hostname (or IP address) and port. You will need to enter this data during installation.
  • After installing Web Application Platform, it is recommended to disable the web container (e.g., Apache Tomcat) on the machine where Teamwork Cloud is installed.
