Create a Publication

To really verify that everything is working correctly, you need a publication in the database. The quickest way to achieve this is to add one of the demo publications included with the installation. To add the demo-temp-dev publication (which is a very simple, stripped down publication with almost no content):

1. Download the publication WAR file from one of your engine-hosts to the machine on which you are working. You will find demo-temp-dev.war in the engine-installation/contrib/wars folder.

2. Open a browser, and access the escenic-admin web application on one of your editorial-hosts by entering:

   http://editorial-host-ip-address:8080/escenic-admin/

   in the browser address field. The following page is displayed:

   

3. Click on New publications. The following page is displayed:

   

4. Click on the Choose File button and locate the demo-temp-dev.war file you have copied to your local machine.

5. Click on Upload. The following page is displayed:

   

6. Click on the create a publication link. The following page is displayed:

   

7. Enter a name for the publication and an administrator password in the displayed form, then click on Submit. The following page is displayed:

   

You have now created a publication. If you click on Home and then Status to redisplay the status pages, you should see that all the warnings that were displayed earlier have now been replaced by icons. This should be the case not only on the editorial-host where you are currently working, but on all your engine-hosts.
