How To Install Visual Composer

[Former Member]

Hi,

this may sound stupid, but I am stuck:

How to install Visual Composer?

I have a Portal 7.0 and KM. Is it just an additional package? On which install CD is it? Can I install it now, after the regular portal is up and running?

I have seen the install guide, but I am missing the big picture.

Can someone outline the general steps and the prerequsities?

Thanks in Advance

Hello Holger,

Actually if you've installed the Portal than you already have Visual Composer installed as it is part of the EP usage installation.

To access Visual Composer type the following URL:

http://<machine name>:<port>/VC (i.e. same as portal just replacing "irj/" with "VC" in uppercase).

Additional permissions and settings all appear in the insr.+configuration guide.

Hello,

I have the same question/problem. I have installed EP 7 but if I try to open the above URL (http://portal_machine:port/VC) I receive an error telling that the "requested source doesn't exist"). is it just a matter of upgrading to SP stack 8? How can I check to which SP stack level I'm now?

Thanks,

Roberto

Hi,

so far it looked good - looks like I am having just a role/authorisaton Problem. I'll check this later, since I am out of the office today

You can check your system level by logging into the front page

http://myportal:myport , log on as Admin , and select "system information"

Hi Roberto,

U need to call the following URL

http://<host name >: port (50000)/VC/default.jsp.

And along with this you need to have ms4xml installed on the client machine and also adobe SVG Viewer to work with

story board.

Hope this will help you.

Hi Holger,

You have to install Visual composer components using JSPM tool.

You have to select the option "aditional package". make sure the visual composer files are in EPS/in folder.

After that, you'll be able to assign the VC role to your user and enter using the portalserver:port/VC
