Installation scripts

These are the install instructions I use for some of the AstroGrid services.

• Tomcat
• Registry
• FileStore
• FileManager
• Community

The instructions read like unix shell scripts, but at the moment they still require manual intervention. The best way to use them is to copy/paste the commands into a Unix shell, and add the manual edits as required.

I'm gradually refactoring them into a set of shell scripts that can be run without human intervention. Eventually, I'd like to end up with scripts that can be run from within a rpm install.

Notes :

• The version numbers used in the instructions may be out of date.
• Please contact someone from the AstroGrid team to check for the latest release versions.

• The JDK and Tomcat instructions are for JDK-1.4 only.
• We are in the process of migrating our services to JDK-1.5, and I will update these instructions once we have discovered all the wrinkles

• The Community install does not cover how to configure the new myproxy service.

• The Registry install is suitable for a local publishing registry, not a full query registry.
• A full query registry should probably run the eXist database as a separate process.
