Basic CUE Configuration

CUE configuration involves configuring CUE itself, and also configuring the nginx web server that serves the CUE application.

The actual CUE configuration consists of editing YAML format configuration files, identified by the file type extension .yml. The delivered system includes a number of such configuration files containing CUE's default configuration settings. These files are located in the /etc/escenic/cue-web folder.

The /etc/escenic/cue-web folder also contains a file called config.yml.template, containing the property settings that you always need to set when installing CUE. To use this file you rename it to config.yml and then edit the contents.

To configure CUE:

1. If necessary, switch user to root.

   $ sudo su

2. Copy /etc/escenic/cue-web/config.yml.template to config.yml:

   # cp /etc/escenic/cue-web/config.yml.template /etc/escenic/cue-web/config.yml

3. Open the new /etc/escenic/cue-web/config.yml for editing. For example

   # nano /etc/escenic/cue-web/config.yml

4. Uncomment and set the required endpoint parameters (which you will find at the top of the file):

   endpoints:
     escenic: "http://escenic-host:81/webservice/index.xml"
     newsgate: "http://newsgate-host/newsgate-cf/"

   where:

   • escenic-host is the IP address or host name of the Content Store CUE is to provide access to

   • newsgate-host is the IP address or host name of the CCI Newsgate system CUE is to provide access to. If no CCI Newsgate system is present, then do not uncomment the newsgate: line.

5. If your CUE configuration makes use of an Escenic-CCI Newsgate bridge, then you will need to add a third line under endpoints:

   endpoints:
     escenic: "http://escenic-host:81/webservice/index.xml"
     newsgate: "http://newsgate-host/newsgate-cf/"
     bridge: "http://bridge-host:7001/ngece-bridge/"

   where bridge-host is the IP address or host name of an Escenic-CCI Newsgate bridge. (A bridge is a service capable of converting Escenic content to Newsgate format, and is required to support Newsgate write-to-fit functionality in CUE.)

6. Save the file.

7. Enter:

   # dpkg-reconfigure cue-web-3.13

   This reconfigures CUE with the Content Store web service URL you specified in step 3.

You now need to configure the nginx web server to serve the CUE application, as described in Nginx Configuration.
