Alot of people have been emailing me lately about how to get Smith Project to run on a thumb drive... So here it is, your mileage may vary.
Smith project on a thumb drive.
Gather materials
Installation
Copy the contents of the folder "smith-bin-windows-1.3b4" in the zip file "smith-bin-windows-1.3b4.zip" to the root of your USB drive.
Your USB drive should resemble the following...
+jetty
+jre
+lib
+log
+webapps
+wwwroot
gpl.txt
reademe.txt
startdb.bat
startweb.bat
stopdb.bat
stopweb.bat
Create a VisualBasic Script to start the Web and DB server with one command.
' Name: Start.vbs
Dim WSHShell, dir, fso, f1
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.run "startdb.bat "&s&m,0,0
WSHShell.run "startweb.bat "&s&m,0,0
WScript.sleep(1000)
Do the same for Stop.
' Name: Stop.vbs
Dim WSHShell, dir, fso, f1
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSHShell.run "stopdb.bat "&s&m,0,0
WSHShell.run "stopweb.bat "&s&m,0,0
WScript.sleep(1000)
Run PStartSetup211.exe (if on vista run with Admin previlidges).
Select Portable setup and drive to install to.
Configure PStart, or use my XML file named "PStart.xml";
