    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://&lt;yourserver.yourdomain.com&gt;/&lt;yourcontext&gt;/admin
82
    </pre>
83
    or if you are not running apache:
84
    <pre>
85
      http://&lt;yourserver.yourdomain.com&gt;:8080/&lt;yourcontext&gt;/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.
119
    </li> 
120
    </li>
121
  </ul>
