Step 5. Install the DataWise® User-Interface Applications
The user-interface applications are a suite of PHP, HTML, Javascript, and CSS files that provide for user interaction via a browser with the database.

To install the user-interface applications, execute the program InterfaceInstall.exe from the DataWiseWeb directory on the installation media.


The program will prompt for the following:

1. The complete path to the directory in the web server document root to install the user-interface (e.g., C:/Apache24/htdocs/datawise/).


2. The hostname of the computer in which the SQL is running. Usually this will be localhost.


3. The name of the ODBC connection point specified in Step 3.


4. The login credentials for the relational database.


5. The Php TimeZone (e.g., 'America/Los_Angeles'). Refer to https://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_ref_timezones.asp for a list.


6. The initial center latitude of the map in decimal degrees (negative in the southern hemisphere).


7. The initial center longitude of the map in decimal degrees (negative in the western hemisphere).


8. The initial Google Maps zoom factor.


9. The map category for displaying rainfall. This is usually category 2, but read the documentation on map display categories. The category can be changed later by editing the file config_database.php in the config sub-directory of the directory specified in step 1 and changing the value of $RainCat.


10. The same path that was entered in item 1 of Step 4. "Install the DataWise® Core Applications"
    


11. The complete path of the directory in which the DataWise® Core application was installed.
