Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database
|
63 |
|
|
(Oracle 8i recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class
|
64 |
|
|
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the
|
65 |
|
|
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB,
|
66 |
|
|
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after
|
67 |
|
|
installation. These instructions assume a Linux environment but may
|
68 |
|
|
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested.

|
<p>You'll need a recent Java SDK, preferably j2sdk1.4.2 or later. We haven't
|
98 |
|
|
tested with any of the 1.5.x versions yet, so probably best to stay with 1.4.x.
|
99 |
|
|
Make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable is properly set and that both

java and javac are on your PATH.

<p><i>Oracle:</i><br>
|
104 |
878
|
berkley
|
The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system.
|
105 |
|
|
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by
|
106 |
|
|
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:
|
107 |
|
|
<pre>lsnrctl start</pre>
|
108 |
|
|
Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher
|
109 |
|
|
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat
|
110 |
|
|
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions
|
111 |
|
|
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER,
|
112 |
|
|
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably
|
113 |
|
|
rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not
|
114 |
|
|
correctly set.

<p><i>Postgres:</i><br>
|
117 |
|
|
Postgres can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on
|
118 |
|
|
Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X. Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux,
|
119 |
|
|
you can install the rpms for postgres and then run
|
120 |
|
|
<code>/etc/init.d/postgresql start</code> in order to start the database.
|
121 |
|
|
This initializes the data files. You need to do a bit of configuration
|
122 |
|
|
to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access
|
123 |
|
|
via jdbc. See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick
|
124 |
|
|
start:
|
125 |
|
|
<ul>
|
126 |
|
|
<li>Switch to the "postgres" user account and edit "data/pg_hba.conf", adding the following line to the file:<br>
|
127 |
|
|
<code>host metacat metacat 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password</code></li>
|
128 |
|
|
<li>Edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line
|
129 |
|
|
starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads
|
130 |
|
|
<code>tcpip_socket = true</code></li>
|
131 |
|
|
<li>Run <code>createdb metacat</code> to create a new database</li>
|
132 |
|
|
<li>Run <code>psql metacat</code> to log in using the postgres account and create a new "metacat" user account
|
133 |
|
|
<ul>
|
134 |
|
|
<li>In postgres, run <code>CREATE USER metacat WITH UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'apasswordyoulike';</code></li>
|
135 |
|
|
<li>This creates a new account called metacat on the database named metacat</li>
|
136 |
|
|
<li>Note: there are many ways to do this, so others such as using
|
137 |
|
|
ENCRYPTED passwords will work fine.</li>
|
138 |
|
|
</ul>
|
139 |
|
|
</li>
|
140 |
|
|
<li>Exit the postgres account back to root and restart the postgres
|
141 |
|
|
database with <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql restart</code></li>
|
142 |
|
|
<li>Test logging into the postgres db using the metacat account with
|
143 |
|
|
the following command:
|
144 |
|
|
<code>psql -U metacat -W -h localhost metacat</code></li>

<p class="header">Ant</p>

148 |
|
|
<p>
|
149 |
|
|
Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems.
|
150 |
|
|
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation
|
151 |
|
|
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default
|
152 |
|
|
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant
|
153 |
932
|
jones
|
should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script
|
154 |
2182
|
jones
|
should be available in the users path. We note that the current build is
|
155 |
|
|
not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version. We have
|
156 |
|
|
successfully used Ant 1.5.1, 1.5.2, and some earlier versions.

Once all of the prerequisite software is installed as described above,
|
175 |
|
|
the installation of Metacat can begin. First you must have a current
|
176 |
|
|
version of the source distribution of Metacat. You can get it two ways.
|
177 |
|
|
Authorized users can check it out of the NCEAS
|
178 |
|
|
<a href="http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xmltodb/">CVS</a>
|
179 |
1770
|
tao
|
system under the module name metacat. The command is as follows:
|
180 |
|
|
<pre>cvs checkout -P metacat</pre> Or you can
|
181 |
878
|
berkley
|
<a href="@server@/software/download.html">download</a> a gzipped tar file
|
182 |
|

from this site.

<p>

Once you have either checked out or unzipped and untarred the source
|
187 |
|
|
distribution, you can begin the installation process. Change into the
|
188 |
1770
|
tao
|
metacat directory and edit the file called "build.xml". You will need
|
189 |
932
|
jones
|
to change a number of configuration properties to match the setup on
|
190 |
|
|
your system. If you are using oracle, you'll need to customize the
|
191 |
|
|
properties in the "oracle" target. If you are using Postgres, you'll
|
192 |
989
|
berkley
|
need to customize the properties in the "postgres" target. All users
|
193 |
932
|
jones
|
will need to customize the properties in the "config" target.

|
199 |
988

tao
|
web-base-url, and default-style. Each is described in detail below.
|
200 |
|
|
You should also verify that the jar file properties mentioned in the
|
201 |
|
|
remainder of the config target are accessible at the paths listed -- the
|
202 |
|
|
defaults will usually work.

Note that the build file is preconfigured to install Metacat either using
|
206 |
|
|
Oracle or PostgreSQL as a backend database. To change the database
|
207 |
|
|
system, simply change the 'depends' attribute of the 'config' target to be
|
208 |
|
|
the name of the database target that you wish to use (either 'oracle' or
|
209 |
|
|
'postgresql'). If you wish to use a different database system, add a new
|
210 |
|
|
target for your database with the needed parameters and actions then add it
|
211 |
|
|
to the 'depends' attribute.

Replication-log is the location at which you want Metacat to place any

You now need to set up the table structure in your database. You can do

either do this using the ant build system, or by manually running the

<p>To run the scripts using ant, type <code>ant installdb</code>. This does

manually (see next paragraph).

|
357 |
|
|
<p>To run the scripts manually, change to the

tao
|
metacat/src directory. Then run you RDBMS's SQL utility. In Oracle it is
|
359 |
878
|
berkley
|
SQLPlus. This tutorial assumes an Oracle database so this example is for
|
360 |

|
SQLPlus. Login as the oracle user that was set up for use with Metacat.

364 |
1827

you should see a bunch of output showing the creation of the Metacat table

368 |

does not exist. This is normal. Any other errors besides this need to be

If you have an existing metacat installation, you should not run the install
|
398 |
|
|
script because it will replace all of the older tables with new, empty
|
399 |
|
|
copies of the tables. Thus you would lose your data! Instead, you can
|
400 |
|
|
run some upgrade scripts that will change the table structure as needed for
|
401 |
|
|
the new version. If you are skipping versions, run each upgrade script
|
402 |
|
|
for the intermediate versions as well. Currently the upgrade scripts are:
|
403 |
|
|
</p>
|
404 |
|
|
<ul>
|
405 |
|
|
<li>upgrade-db-to-1.2.sql</li>
|
406 |
|
|
<li>upgrade-db-to-1.3.sql</li>
|
407 |
2182
|
jones
|
<li>upgrade-db-to-1.4.sql</li>
|
408 |
1827
|
jones
|
</ul>
|
409 |
|
|
<p>
|
410 |
|
|
So, if you had an existing metacat 1.0 installation and you were upgrading
|
411 |
|
|
to 1.3, you would need to run both upgrade-db-to-1.2.sql and
|
412 |
|
|
upgrade-db-to-1.3.sql. Howver, if you were starting from a Metacat 1.2.x
|
413 |
|
|
installation, you would only need to run the 1.3 upgrade script.

Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step. Tomcat
|
458 |
|
|
(and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted. To do
|
459 |
1770
|
tao
|
this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"),
|
460 |
|
|
go to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and type:
|
461 |
878
|
berkley
|
<pre>
|
462 |
1770
|
tao
|
./shutdown.sh

./startup.sh
|
464 |
878
|
berkley
|
</pre>
|
465 |
1770
|

|
In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something in log file like:
|
466 |
878
|
berkley
|
<pre>
|
467 |
|
|
MetacatServlet Initialize

|
469 |
|
|
MetacatServlet Initialize
|
470 |
|
|
</pre>
|
471 |
|
|
If you see that message Tomcat is successfully loading the Metacat servlet.
|
472 |
|
|
Next, try to run your new servlet. Go to a web browser and type:
|
473 |
932
|
jones
|
<pre>http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/</pre>
|
474 |
|
|
You should substitute your context name for "yourcontext" in the url above.
|
475 |
878
|
berkley
|
If everything is working correctly, you should see a query page followed
|
476 |
880

by an empty result set. Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with
|
477 |
