HowTo Setup a Play! Framework App

HowTo.txt

Download http://download.playframework.org/releases/play-2.0.1.zip and unzip it to your OSs optional Folder (e.g. /opt)
https://gist.github.com/
Add the script "play" to your Path.

Go into your play app and run 

"play run" 

(you can also use play start/stop for running the app in the background, then play status gives you an overview over the current app status)

a common output looks like:

> Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 8080
> 21:05:54,086 INFO  ~ Starting /Users/philipp/SVN/innoQ-sandbox-phl/playframework/flowcontrol
> 21:05:54,298 INFO  ~ Module scaffold is available (/usr/local/play-1.2.4/modules/scaffold-0.1)
> 21:05:58,980 WARN  ~ You're running Play! in DEV mode
> 21:05:59,400 INFO  ~ Listening for HTTP on port 9090 (Waiting a first request to start) ...

You need go to http://localhost:9090 (9090 is the port from the output)

> 21:16:36,085 INFO  ~ ApiPlugin loaded
> 21:16:38,959 INFO  ~ Connected to jdbc:h2:/Users/philipp/SVN/innoQ-sandbox-phl/playframework/flowcontrol/db/h2/play;MODE=MYSQL
> 21:16:40,142 INFO  ~ Application 'flowcontrol' is now started !
> 21:16:40,272 INFO  ~ Bootstrap Job

The Line with "Connected to" gives you the SQLite connection.
If you go to http://localhost:9090/@db you will be redirected to the SQLite-Web-ui
You just need to change JDBC URL to 

jdbc:h2:/Users/philipp/SVN/innoQ-sandbox-phl/playframework/flowcontrol/db/h2/play
