Installed the exist server in the Applications directory. Then had to start it, populate the database with the appropriate collections structure (francotoile folder contains application folder and data folder, data folder contains francotoile folder, francotoile folder contains xml files). Then had to modify the variables in the php for the site to point at localhost:8080/exist/xmlrpc with appropriate user name and pw

To start the eXist server
- open a Terminal window
ssh florevid@lettuce.tapor.uvic.ca '/home1t/florevid/eXist/bin/server.sh'

To shutdown the eXist server
- open a Terminal window
ssh florevid@lettuce.tapor.uvic.ca '/home1t/florevid/eXist/bin/shutdown.sh'

To administer the db:

- URL xmldb:exist://localhost:8080/exist/xmlrpc
