See [http://amahi.blip.tv/file/1491674/| the screencast on how to use webapps].
'''NOTE: ''' the screencast is slightly outdated - the webapps are no longer in their own tab - they are under Applications -> Webapps(Amahi 6), and Advanced settings must be enabled for them to show. The Amahi [https://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps Web Apps] application provides this functionality for Amahi 7 or greater.
Creating a webapp creates a root directory (gives you the choice to change it) and a short, local dns name to conveniently access that app.
However, we provide a little script called
which creates a database called '''dbname''' and a corresponding user name for it matching (the password is also the DB and user name). Run hda-create-db-and-user -h for help on customizing the username and password as well as dropping the db and user.
* The "base dir" that Amahi creates is owned by user '''apache''' by default, so you may want to change the permissions so that other users can create and edit files in that area:
* Some people find it useful to create a new share pointing to the webapp root directory to be able to easily edit their files from their client computer(s) in their favorite editor.
