GenoPub based DAS/2 Server installation - Part 1

1. Check available Java SDKs

#> update-java-alternatives -l

java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk

java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

2. Use Sun Java SDK

#>update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so.

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so.

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for mozilla-javaplugin.so.

update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so.

3. Make sure Java SDK version > 1.6 (better be 64 bit)

>java -version

java version "1.6.0_20"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

4. Install Tomcat

>apt-cache search tomcat
>apt-get install tomcat6

#CATALINA_BASE: /var/lib/tomcat6
#CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6
#CATALINA_TMPDIR: /tmp/tomcat6-tmp
#JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk

5. Setup the environment for Tomcat

#>ls /usr/lib/jvm

root@ubuntu:/# ls -al /usr/lib/jvm/

Append the following lines to ".bash_profile"

###########################

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20

export CATALINA_HOME = /usr/share/tomcat6

export CATALINA_BASE = /var/lib/tomcat6

export CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx4096m

###########################

Then make logs directory for catalina's outputs

#>cd /usr/share/tomcat6

#>mkdir logs

6. Start Tomcat

#>cd /usr/share/tomcat6/bin

#>catalina.sh run

The ROOT directory will be:

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/

7. Install MySQL

#>at-get install mysql-server #version 5.1

8. Download & Install Connector-J

#>wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.13.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.he.net/

#>tar -zxvf mysql-connector-java-5.1.13.tar.gz

#> cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.13/mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/
