+	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
+

+	
+	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

+
+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 :)
