Configure WebEA models - via Web Browser

After copying the WebEA files from the Pro Cloud Installation to your website, WebEA can be configured via a web browser.

Using a web browser, enter the URL for  WebEA's login page.

At the end of the URL, after "login.php" append "?config".

For example:

http://{yourwebserver}/login.php?config

or,

http://{yourwebserver}/webea/login.php?config

Where the value '{yourwebserver}' is either the name or IP number of the machine hosting the WebEA website.

This should display the WebEA Configuration Page. This page includes a list of the WebEA connections which are currently defined in the webea_config.ini file.
