Organik Trial Version
This CD contains a beta time limited version of Organik, it will time out on the 1st of July 1998. If you require a full version of the software, please contact Orbital Technologies at orders@orbital-tech.com . The software is subject to our standard license agreement, prior to installing the server, please review the license agreement. Instructions for installation: Double click on the file install.bat. You will be asked if you wish to install the Java Runtime Environment to your machine. Only the Win32 version of the JRE is supplied. If you are not using NT4, do not choose to install this JRE. Follow the instructions in the InstallShield program, choosing whether or not to install the supplied Win32 JRE. The Organik installation package will then start automatically. Follow the instructions in the InstallShield program, and accept all defaults. The Organik server will be installed on your machine. If you are using NT4 the installation program will add two shortcuts to your windows Programs menu. These are:
Run Organik Server on NT4 To run Organik, click Run Organik Server in your windows Programs menu. The server will start. In the Orbital Organik Setup window, click OK. Fill in the Registration Form and click Register. The Organik Administration Controls window will appear. DO NOT close either the Administration window or the DOS (Command Prompt) window while Organik is running, as this will crash the server. Wait for about 30 seconds, and then start your web browser. Log into Organik by typing http://<server name> as a URL in your Web browser (eg. Netscape Navigator or MS Internet Explorer). For example, if the Internet hostname and domain for your machine is amalthea.orbital.co.uk then type: http://amalthea.orbital.co.uk/ The Organik login page will then appear! You can log in to Organik using a login and password from the list displayed under "User" in the Organik Administration Controls window. Alternatively, you can set up a new login by filling out the User Details section under User, and clicking "Add User". You MUST select at least one group from the All Groups box when you do this, as Organik cannot accept a user who belongs to no groups.

Guest Logins Important Note For Non-Windows Platforms Organik has been developed on NT4 using Symantec Cafe. Some modules have been tested on other platforms (particularly Solaris). However, the current build has NOT been tested on any platforms other than NT4. Important Note For Windows95 If you are running the Organik server on Windows95 and do not have Winsock2 installed then you may encounter a socket bug in which the socket is reset on close. This should not occur if you allow the installation script to install JRE1.1.5, or are using JRE1.1.5 or JDKs at this level or above.
