Getting Started-2-Tier

The tutorial steps assume that the Prolifics development client and Prolifics web application server are installed on the same machine. The following diagrams illustrate typical configurations for the tutorial using a Prolifics web application named vidstore.

Figure A-1 illustrates a typical configuration for two-tier UNIX development clients and web servers.

Figure A-2 illustrates a typical configuration for two-tier Windows development clients and web servers.

Figure A-2 Typical Windows configuration

A Windows development client can be used with a UNIX Prolifics web application server if:

• The client library and database are available on, or are copied to, a directory on the UNIX machine.

• A Prolifics web application (Lesson 2) specifies that directory as its application directory.

Figure A-3 illustrates this configuration.
