  • Copy the files from the directory containing the Interactive Interface to the document root served by the Web server (this is the value of the parameter DocumentRoot in the web server's configuration file httpd.conf), using a command of the following form:

    $ cp -r  <TaminoInstallDir>/X-Tools/Tamino_Interactive_Interface  <DocumentRoot> 

    Note:
    <TaminoInstallDir> is the directory where the Tamino Version is installed, on Windows e.g. C:\Programs\Software AG\Tamino\Tamino 4.2.

  • Edit the Apache configuration file and add an alias of the form:

    Alias /tii/ "<TaminoInstallDir>/X_Tools/Tamino_Interactive_Interface"
