= 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.
  1. Copy the contents of the /modelglueapplicationtemplate directory to the /translator directory.
  1. Open /translator/config/!ColdSpring.xml
  1. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"
  1. Open /translator/config/!ModelGlue.xml
  1. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"
  1. Open /translator/Application.cfm
  1. Do a find and replace, changing "modelglueapplicationtemplate" to "translator"
  1. 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 [http://groups.google.com/group/model-glue Model-Glue Google Group] and post a question.
