A proxy can be very useful for preventing exposure of the application server nodes and instances to the internet. The main reason for a proxy in this case is to make the application available via an URL defined by a DNS entry made by your network administrator and to route the default http port 80 to the network port the web server is actually using.
In a new installation, when you access the iGrafx platform URL, http8080, you are automatically forwarded to an Installation page, where you can complete the iGrafx Platform installation from within the browser. This page has two sections: General Settings and Database Settings, which are described below.
As an option, iGrafx may make extensions packages available to provide extra functionality to the iGrafx platform. One such package contains the Google Analytics extensions that allow iGrafx to gather anonymous utilization and performance statistics. These statistics don't contain any personal user information or content data; iGrafx uses the collected statistics to improve the user experience and performance of the application.
This topic provides a full list of steps required to install the iGrafx platform on Windows using a pre-deployed iGrafx platform on an Apache™ Tomcat™ server.
