Here is a short installation-howto of Mir.
prerequisites:
-- tomcat 4.0.3 or above (3.3 works too as of 04.04.2002, but this could change)
+- tomcat 4.0.4 (4.0.3 and below have some bad bugs) or above (3.3 works too as
+ of 04.04.2002, but this could change)
tomcat is available from http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/
-- apache with mod_jk.so http://httpd.apache.org
+- apache 1.3.x. with mod_jk.so. As far as I can tell the connector for 2.x is
+ still rather undocumented. http://httpd.apache.org
- postgres 7.1.x or 7.2.x. http://www.postgresql.org
- ant (a java-based make)
- jaxp-1.1 (a SAX 2.0 compliant XML parser, comes with ant >= 1.4)
- the JAI image framework (Java Advanced Imaging) versin 1.1.1 . get it from
java.sun.com. ** NOTE: because JAI uses a native acceration library (a .so)
- it must be placed in tomcat's "lib" (i.e $TOMCAT_HOME/lib) directory and
+ it must be placed in tomcat's "lib" (i.e $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib) directory and
not under the default webapps/Mir/WEB-INF/lib directory **
- A good reading of Tomcat, Apache and Postgresql documentation if you are not
familiar with any of them. The documentation is available at:
