Quickstart 1: Creating a New Application

All Model-Glue applications start by creating a new copy of the "application template."  That's the directory named "modelglueapplicationtemplate" that came in your Model-Glue .zip.

To deploy a new copy of the template, follow these steps:

1. Create a new directory called "translator" under your Web root.

2. Copy the contents of the /modelglueapplicationtemplate directory to the /translator directory.

3. Open /translator/config/ColdSpring.xml

4. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"

5. Open /translator/config/ModelGlue.xml

6. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"

7. Open /translator/Application.cfm

8. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"

9. Open http://localhost/translator.  You'll get a message saying that "Model-Glue is up and running!"  If you don't, and you can't figure out why, now's a good time to sign up for the Model-Glue listserv and post a question.
