Here is a short installation-howto of Mir.


prerequisites: 

- tomcat 
- apache with mod_jk.so 
- postgres 7.1.x
- ant (a java-based make) 


1. checkout the cvs

CVS LOGIN:

	cvs -d :pserver: cvsanon@brazil.indymedia.de:/var/cvs login 
	password: cvs 

CVS CHECKOUT:

	cvs -d :pserver: cvsanon@brazil.indymedia.de:/var/cvs co mir 


2. customize the config: 

	cd mir/source 
	cp config.properties-dist config.properties 

now customize config.properties for your needs.


3. configure the build.sh file with java_home
        cp build.sh-dist build.sh 
        chmod 755 build.sh


4. copy the mir/template-dist-directory to mir/template 


5. compile
	sh build.sh 


6. Link in the webapps directory of tomcat to the install directory (the directory is called Mir). 


7. create a new database 
the database name should be the same as in config.properties
as user postgres: 
	createdb dbname 


8. create base table
	psql -Upostgres dbname < dbscripts/create_pg.sql
	cat dbscript/help*.sql | psql -Upostgres dbname

9. chmod 777 Mir/log 

10. restart tomcat 

11. configure mod_jk 

that's it :)
