chmod 755 build.sh
-4. copy the mir/template-dist-directory to mir/template
+4. copy the mir/templates-dist-directory to mir/templates
5. compile
sh build.sh
-6. Link in the webapps directory of tomcat to the install directory (the directory is called Mir).
+6. Link in the webapps directory of tomcat to the install directory (the
+directory is called "Mir" and is located in the same directory in which
+you installed the "mir" directory).
+ cd /usr/share/tomcat/webapps
+ ln -s Mir-install-dir Mir
+7. Modify your tomcat startup script and add an LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
+that points to the WEB-INF/lib directory of your Mir install dir. (called
+"Mir"). Add something like the following at the top of tomcat.sh (tomcat.sh
+is found in the "bin/" dir. under $TOMCAT_HOME):
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/Mir-install-dir/WEB-INF/lib
-7. create a new database
+An alternaive way to avoid this is to copy any dynamic library files
+ending with ".so" in WEB-INF/lib to your jre/jdk lib directory (where the
+other ".so" files live). Or, you can skip the whole thing and live without
+"native" acceleration for image manipulation
+
+
+8. create a new database
the database name should be the same as in config.properties
as user postgres:
createdb dbname
-8. create base table
+9. create base table
psql -Upostgres dbname < dbscripts/create_pg.sql
- cat dbscript/help*.sql | psql -Upostgres dbname
+ cat dbscripts/help*.sql | psql -Upostgres dbname
+ cat dbscripts/populate*.sql | psql -Upostgres dbname
+
+10. Add the dupe prevention trigger to the database:
+ cd dbscripts/dupetrigger
+
+ There, read INSTALL and follow the instructions.
+
+
+11. Set permissions
+ We provide a script that sets all files' and direcories' permissions to
+ a quite reasonable state.
+
+ cp perms.sh-dist perms.sh
+ # Now, change the install directory and group in perms.sh
+ edit perms.sh
+ ./perms.sh
+
+
+12. restart tomcat
+
+13. configure mod_jk
+
+insert the following patch into /etc/apache/httpd.conf. Edit the directories
+to suit your needs.
+
+<IfModule mod_jk.c>
+JkWorkersFile /usr/share/tomcat/conf/workers.properties
+Include /usr/share/tomcat/conf/mod_jk.conf-auto
+</IfModule>
+
+Do not put any JkMount lines into your httpd.conf!
+
+If mod_jk.conf-auto doesn't get written or is 0 bytes in size, check your
+system for file ownership/permissions problems.
+
+
+14. Add a password to your PostgreSQL user and link it to Mir (optional)
+
+Add a hard to guess password to the PostgreSQL user database:
+
+# psql -U postgres Mir
+alter user postgres with password 'yourpassword';
+
+
+Then, in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf you should make sure that nobody can
+use the database without a password:
+
+local all password
+host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 password
+host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reject
+
+
+Then, change the database password line in config.properties:
-9. chmod 777 Mir/log
+Database.Username=postgres
+Database.Password=yourpassword
-10. restart tomcat
+You should make sure that no copy of config.properties (neither in mir nor
+in Mir/src nor in Mir/WEB-INF/classes) is world-readable. Else you wouldn't
+have to install a password, anyway.
-11. configure mod_jk
+If you can't access PostgreSQL after this for any reason, try to change
+"password" in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf into "trust". This should disable
+any authentication method and make the database accessible again.
that's it :)
