Try Silverpeas easily

We provide an easy way to try Silverpeas using Izpack with a pre-configured JBoss Server and an H2 Database.

You have to have a Java 6 JDK installed.
This version is not suitable for production !.

1. Download the installer (~ 213 Mo)
2. Run the following command (or double click on the jar file) java -jar Silverpeas-5.12.1-installer.jar
3. When all has been installed, go to the bin directory under the installation directory and run the following scripts in that order
   1. start_db.bat (thus starting the database). Don't close the console
   2. silverpeas_start_jboss.cmd (to start Silverpeas)
4. Now you can open a browser to http://localhost:8000/silverpeas an login using the account SilverAdmin/SilverAdmin
5. For Mac Users, there seems to be a problem when trying Silverpeas offline, Mac OS X Lion doesn't resolve localhost. If you encounter this issue, use the following command:

   sudo ifconfig en0 alias 127.0.0.1

   .
