The first time you go to Metacat after installation or upgrade, you will be directed to
|
|
77
|
a series of configuration screens. You can also get there explicitly even after Metacat
|
|
78
|
is configured by typing:
|
|
79
|
|
|
80
|
<pre>
|
|
81
|
http://<yourserver.yourdomain.com>/<yourcontext>/admin
|
|
82
|
</pre>
|
|
83
|
or if you are not running apache:
|
|
84
|
<pre>
|
|
85
|
http://<yourserver.yourdomain.com>:8080/<yourcontext>/admin
|
|
86
|
</pre>
|
|
87
|
</p>
|
|
88
|
|
|
89
|
<p>
|
|
90
|
The system will follow these rules in order to determine the order
|
|
91
|
that the configuration will occur:
|
|
92
|
</p>
|
|
93
|
|
|
94
|
<ul>
|
|
95
|
<li>
|
|
96
|
Is LDAP Configured? If not, show
|
|
97
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#ldap-config">LDAP Configuration Section</a>.
|
|
98
|
You will need to have LDAP configured in order to define administrative accounts
|
|
99
|
and authenticate as one of these users via LDAP.
|
|
100
|
</li>
|
|
101
|
<li>
|
|
102
|
Are you logged in as an administrative user? If not, show
|
|
103
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#admin-login">Administrator Login Page</a>.
|
|
104
|
You can only configure Metacat as an administrator.
|
|
105
|
</li>
|
|
106
|
<li>
|
|
107
|
Are main properties, skins or database unconfigured. If so, show
|
|
108
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#main-config">Main Configuration Page</a>
|
|
109
|
<ul>
|
|
110
|
<li>
|
|
111
|
Note that you will not be able to select the database configuration utility
|
|
112
|
until main properties have been configured.
|
|
113
|
</li>
|
|
114
|
</ul>
|
|
115
|
<li>
|
|
116
|
Are all sections configured. If so, show
|
|
117
|
<a HREF="metacatconfigure.html#main-config">Main Configuration Page</a> but
|
|
118
|
Include instructions for restarting Metacat server.
