Hi...I'm new to pentaho...I will use it to build some dashboards and reports for an educational institution...I tried the EE and I really like it...I use the EE try-out for teaching purposes...but now as I need to deploy some solutions and due to public budget I will show the implementation of a BI solution using this platform... I already have a tomcat instance running and according to the Prepare Your Windows Environment for a Manual Installation - Pentaho Documentation instructions the tomcat is inside the pentaho directory...but I already have one instance running..So, I want to install de Pentaho server inside my tomcat server instance...i.e. a manual installation of the BI-server version 8.1. So, I guess I have to copy pentaho files into ../tomcat/webapps directory...
Which files? what else do I need to do if I want to connect to a mysql instance?
Thanks,
How I did it so change accordingly
1. My Tomcat is situated in c:\server\tomcat directory
Download the pentaho-server-manual-ce file
2. Change server.xml (..\tomcat\conf) if needed
3. Unzip pentaho-data.zip and pentaho-solution.zip in c:\server
4. Place pentaho.war andpentaho-style.war in ..\tomcat\webapps directory
5. Place database driver files in ..\tomcat\lib directory
