+directory is in mir/bin/mir (Here and in the rest of this document,
+we assume you called the link "Mir", but this could be named anything.)
+ cd ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps
+ ln -s /path/to/mir/bin/mir Mir
+
+with tomcat 4.0.x, you could dynamically reload and stop the Mir webapp without
+restarting tomcat by using the "Manager App" with the following url:
+
+http://localhost:8080/manager/stop?path=/Mir
+
+This is practical if you are running several installations of mir on one
+tomcat or other webapps and can't afford to shutdown all of them.
+See the tomcat documentation to learn how to enable and use the manager app.
+
+7. Copy any dynamic library files ending with ".so" (so far only the JAI native
+acceleration library found in the JAI package tarball or zip from sun) to your
+$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386 directory (where the other ".so" files live). Or, you
+can skip the whole thing and live without "native" acceleration for image
+manupulation.
+
+8a. create a new database
+The database name should be the same as in config.properties. Please look at
+the section "Database.*" to look up the names or change them to your needs.
+
+It is wise in terms of system security to use an unprivileged user for this
+task instead of the superuser. This is because if Mir uses the superuser to
+connect to the database and anybody manages to find out the password Mir
+uses to connect, the attacker can take over the complete database. So, in
+the following examples, we assume that the database name is "Mir", the
+database user will be "joe" and the password is "joshua". Please note that
+this particular password is far from being a good one. Watch "Wargames" for
+details. =B)
+
+
+To access the database as the database superuser, you either have to log in
+as postgres on Unix level (which we don't recommend because you will need
+another user to have a login shell and a password which makes system
+penetration more likely) or you have to tell PostgreSQL with each
+application call that you want to connect as a specific user. In the
+following example we'll create the mir database as postgreSQL user
+"pete".
+
+ cd mir/dbscripts
+ su postgres
+ ./createmirdb.sh mir pete joe joshua
+
+8b. Apply neccessary changes to config.properties
+
+Please open config.properties and look for the lines that begin with
+"Database.". The interesting properties are "Username", "Password", "Host"
+and "Name". Change these properties so that they reflect the settings you
+used to create the database and the user.
+
+You should make sure that no copy of config.properties (neither in mir nor
+in Mir/src nor in Mir/WEB-INF/classes nor in the directory tree you compiled
+Mir from) is world-readable. Else you wouldn't have to install a password,
+anyway.
