After four years performed at SUPINFO Troyes (France), I will do my last year of study at Oxford Brookes University in England.
Thanks to this partnership with this University, I could get the Master Degree of SUPINFO and a Master of Science (MSc) Software Engineering.
This trip would allow me to improve my English, learn a new culture but also to enjoy the benefits of a city renowned student.
Here is a small tutorial for all who want to install Apache Tomcat on a QNAP.
First of all, download Java and Apache Tomcat and upload on your NAS.
Below are the paths to install Java and Apache Tomcat that I used :
Then, I have created the file tomcat.sh on the root of tomcat6.
#!/bin/sh
#Tomcat self-starting
#Auteur : Cyril GRANDJEAN
#Description : Self-starting de tomcat
#name of the process : tomcat
#pid of : /var/run/tomcat.pid
RETVAL=0
QPKG_NAME="tomcat6"
_exit()
{
/bin/echo -e "Error: $*"
/bin/echo
exit 1
}
JRE_HOME="/share/Qweb/java6"
CATALINA_HOME="/share/Qweb/tomcat6"
case $1 in
start)
sh /share/Qweb/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh
;;
stop)
sh /share/Qweb/tomcat6/bin/shutdown.sh
;;
restart)
sh /share/Qweb/tomcat6/bin/shutdown.sh
sh /share/Qweb/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
Then, to use it as a package on the interface of the QNAP, I have used the following commands :
echo "[tomcat6]" >> /etc/config/qpkg.conf echo "Name = Tomcat6" >> /etc/config/qpkg.conf echo "Version = 6.0" >> /etc/config/qpkg.conf echo "Enable = TRUE" >> /etc/config/qpkg.conf echo "Shell = /share/Qweb/tomcat6/tomcat.sh" >> /etc/config/qpkg.conf
You can now use Apache Tomcat on your QNAP.
Efficacenergie is the name of the solution which I develop during my internship at Distrame. This solution, directly installed on the intranet network of the customer, allows the measure of energy consumption of a building such as water consumption, gas, electricity or the measure of temperature, … Efficacenergie is compatible with the wireless sensors of the brands LEM and Coronis.
The solution is installed on a NAS working on a linux operating system. Our NAS server is going to play collector’s role of data resulting from wireless sensors. Thanks to the application server Apache Tomcat and a mySQL database, the customer can visualize his consumptions with an ergonomic Web interface developed from the javascript framework Ext-JS. You can find on my portfolioa list of available features with Efficacenergie.
Here is a small video of presentation of the solution (French video) :
Here is the website of a pension for dogs and cats located in the Marne (France 51). Agnès Lavernhe also proposes you services such as the education of your dog and the delivery of croquettes in your place of residence.
Agora Immobilier has just changed design followed by the addition of new features such as the geo-localization of the possessions to be rented on Google Maps.
As you can notice it, my website has a new design to bring more sobriety and professionalisme.
I was able to count on Antoine Lenoir’s support for the creation of the new graphics standards (www.studio-khaz.com).
I inform you about the release of a new version of Redim Picture, my software to resize image.
What’s new :
The ancient version of Redim Picture was developed in VB.NET and suffered numerous bugs (Be indulgent, it was my first program 
). This new version, developed there in C#, is a beta version. Thus, if you notice bugs or if you wish to announce me a possibility of improvement of the software, do not hesitate to contact me.
Description of the program :
After having tested the RPS1 from OVH and after having globally been satisfied by the possibilities offered by this low-cost server from OVH, I decided to continue the adventure by launching me in the hosting of the websites that I have created.
I could use my knowledge about hosting during this migration and I could also ask advices of my colleagues from Planet Bourgogne who manage of the hosting of websites in case of problems.
I remind that the RPS is endowed with a processor Atom 1,6 Ghz, 512 Mo of RAM, 20 Gb of accessible storage with a SAN from OVH and a connection of 100 Mbps. The operating system is a Gentoo Release 2 which is a Gentoo modified for needs from OVH.
I could write some articles for all those who wish as me to dash into the adventure of the hosting.
New : This website is now on the RPS server.
Here is my last acquisition for my home server.
This NAS is not a simply storage system. This is a complete server, customizable, energy-efficient who allows natively to reach very easily its files in FTP and HTTP in local area network or on internet. He can also host websites, share files photos and videos with a beautiful AJAX interface. To see the features integrated natively, click here.
To be able to add other features, the forum www.nas-forum.com can help you.
