Installation
The Brava plugin is installed when selecting the 'Publish eB information for distribution and non-eB access' when creating your web site, as shown below.
After eB Web deployment it is necessary to go to the deployed virtual directory and modify a Brava setting in the web.config file.
- If you are using windows 2003 or Windows 2008 without UAC, locate the web.config file and double-click on it.
- If you are using Windows 2008 or later and are using UAC you will need to open an instance of Notepad in Administrator mode. Once Notepad is open, use File > Open to locate the web.config file and open it. You cannot drag the file to the Notepad window when it is launched in administrator mode.
- With the file open in Notepad, locate the section of the file that looks like this:
<setting name="BravaUrl" serializeAs="String">
<value></value> <!-- Insert url of Brava! server here-->
</setting> - Inside the <value></value> elements, insert the url of the Brava! viewer's virtual directory. For example: <value>http://qa-eb/BravaViewer</value>
- Save the web.config file.
Prerequisites
