1. Creating a new html5 application from an existing one

• Basic steps:

  1. Given a application, copy its contents into a new directory.
  2. Edit directives.json and replace all mentions of the previous application path with the new directory
  3. run {{{$GENAPP/sbin/htmlsetuppaths.pl}}}
  4. run {{{genapp}}}

• Example:

  • suppose you wanted to make a new application mydemo from the demo application installed in /opt/genapp/demo
  1. copy
  • change to the directory

cd /opt/genapp

- make a deep copy

cp -r demo mydemo

1. edit the directives file with your favorite editor and mass replace demo with mydemo - change to the new directory

cd mydemo

- use your favorite editor to mass replace demo with mydemo (in this example, with vi)

vi directives.json

1. setup the paths for the webserver

$GENAPP/sbin/htmlsetuppaths.pl

1. regenerate the application

genapp

• your new web site should now be available
