Pre-deployed iGrafx platform on Windows

Install the iGrafx platform on Windows from the pre-deployed package, which bundles an Apache Tomcat server. This is the recommended starting point if you have no standardized application server.

Prerequisites​

  • The iGrafxPlatform-<version>-Predeployed.zip package, transferred to the host.
  • Permission to install a Windows service and open a firewall port.

Steps​

  1. Extract the zip and place the resulting folder where you want the server to run, renamed to your convention — for example C:\iGrafx\iGrafxPlatform.

    info

    Extract to a folder near the drive root to avoid hitting the maximum path-length limit (which varies by operating system). Don't ignore decompression warnings — if one appears, try a higher-level location.

  2. Open a command line and go to the C:\iGrafx\iGrafxPlatform\windows folder.

  3. Run install_service.bat 8080. To use a different port, specify it here and adjust the following steps. Run install_service.bat with no port to see the available options and their defaults.

  4. Open the firewall for port 8080 (or your chosen port).

  5. Check the log file (\apache-tomcat-x.x.x\logs\catalina*.out) for errors and resolve any.

  6. Confirm the application runs at http://localhost:8080 (or your port).
