Can you provide DChart/Dapper .war files?

Dear DChart/Dapper Administrator Support,

Since we already have a number of other webapps running under a single Tomcat installation on our server, I would like to be able to drop in DChart and Dapper .war files into our existing Tomcat webapps folder. Instead, the current installation of DChart/Dapper comes with its own separate Tomcat instance. Would it be possible to provide .war files for these applications as an alternative to the current installation procedures? Thanks for your time.

Aloha,
John

DChart war files

Hi John,

Dapper uses configuration files that don't fit nicely into the standard Tomcat war file distribution scheme, so we don't have any plans (for now) to distribute Dapper as a war file.

However, there is a workaround that might solve your problem. It looks like you are running Apache, so you all you need to do is configure Dapper to run on a non-standard port (say 8081) and reverse proxy to Dapper from your Apache server. It looks like you are already doing this for your your other servers, so it should be pretty easy to add this to your Apache config file.

Cheers, Joe
