 * we offer a portal function so user can login and try the applications
 * as adminstrative database we use PostgreSQl/PostGIS

Apache

 * we added an ALIAS for each Mapbender versions:
 * /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Mapbender Database
createdb -U postgres -E UTF8 -T mapbender_2.5 mapbender_2.6 (postgis_template)
 * create the database for the next version
 * take the last version as template (check the guis first - everything still allright?)
