Simply place the content of the web folder to another zip archive file, for example cyclos_4.zip, and rename it to cyclos_4.war or any name with the .war extension.

5. Upload your Cyclos war package to the Deployment manager.

6. Once the package is in the platform, deploy it to the environment you have just created.

Database Configuration

  • host together with the name of database created while DB configuration:

jdbc:postgresql://postgres-{env_name}.{hoster_domain}/{db_name}
  • database credentials you’ve received via email
