First-time Startup

The information in this section describes how to immediately start using Traverse if you installed all components on a single server, and you do not have any other conflicting applications operating on the server (such as another web server or SQL database). For a distributed installation, see Traverse Configuration Files for information about the files you need to edit before using Traverse in a distributed environment.

The installation process creates default configuration files that enable you to operate all the Traverse components on the same server. The default database configuration contains:

• one DGE location named Default Location
• one DGE component named localhost
• a user-class named Default User Group

It also creates a default user (username is traverse) with the password of traverse, and a superuser (username is superuser) with the password of traverse.
