gistfile1.md

all system files are located in C:/dantech

##2 ember applications:

• admin
  • C:/dantech/admin.symbolo/dist
• client
  • C:/dantech/client.symbolo/dist

##3 servers

• Event server - emits live events via websockets or polling - acts as TCP client
  • C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/event.symbolo
• API server - handles REST API for admin/clients - acts as TCP server
  • C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/api.symbolo
• File server
  • C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/file.symbolo

##Steps to set up symbolo

• power router up and connect from laptop to a numbered port on the wireless router(not the Internet port).

1. start mongoDB (!!already started as a windows service on the Dell i3 laptop!!)

• C:/dantech/database/bin/mongod.exe

2. start nginx

• open command prompt AS ADMINISTRATOR
• cd C:/dantech/nginx
• start nginx

3. start file server

• open command prompt (not as administrator)
• cd C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/file.symbolo
• node server

4. start the event server

• open command prompt (not as administrator)
• cd C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/event.symbolo
• node server

5. start the API server

• open command prompt (not as administrator)
• cd C:/dantech/server.symbolo.io/api.symbolo
• node server

6. run admin app

• open Chrome and go to http://symbolo.int/admin

Known Issues:

• cookies aren't properly removed. May have to refresh browser if switching between an admin and client.
• editing a question's settings(question text, choices, timer) while the question is playing may cause inconsistencies.
• 2 admins logged in using the same symbolo session will conflict.
• console logging may cause issues in IE9 or less. (console.logs need to be removed from ember app.)
• the page title on client side app should be updated
