   Once all of the prerequisite software is installed as described above,
7
   the installation of Metacat can begin.  First you must have a current
8
   version of the source distribution of Metacat.  You can get it two ways.
9
   Authorized users can check it out of the NCEAS
10
   <a href="http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/xmltodb/">CVS</a>
11
   system. You'll need both the "metacat" module and the "utilities" module to
12
   be checked out in sibling directories. The command is as follows:
13
   <pre>mkdir knb-software</pre>
14
   <pre>cd knb-software</pre>
15
   <pre>cvs checkout -P metacat</pre>
16
   <pre>cvs checkout -P utilities</pre>
17
   Or you can
18
   <a href="/software/download.html">download</a> a gzipped tar file
19
   from this site.
20
  </p>
21
   <p>
22
   Once you have either checked out or unzipped and untarred the source
23
   distribution, you can begin the installation process.  Change into the
24
   metacat directory and edit the file called "<code>build.properties</code>".  You will need
25
   to change a number of configuration properties to match the setup on
26
   your system. The property values that you will likely need to change are described in
27
   detail in the following table:

476
          of indexed paths that can be utilized to improve the
477
          performance of metacat queries. Each component of the <em>indexPaths</em> property
478
          should specify an absolute or relative path (using an XPath-like syntax) to an XML element or
479
          attribute present in the XML documents being queried. Metacat stores XML
480
          element and attribute values for indexed paths in a special database table
481
          that optimizes search performance.
482
          <p>Metacat queries allow you to specify (using the &lt;pathexpr&gt; tag in search query)
483
          an exact path to which you want
484
          to restrict the search. When the &lt;pathexpr&gt; path that is specified in the query
485
          is a member of the <em>indexPaths</em> list, search results are returned faster
486
          because metacat can conduct its search using the optimized database table.
487
          <p>
488
          The default value for the <em>indexPaths</em> property contains numerous paths to EML
489
          elements and attributes that are commonly queried by metacat search tools.
490
          For example, <em>keyword</em> is a
491
          member of this list because it is common for search tools to query
492
          the <em>keyword</em> field in EML documents. For most purposes, the default value will
493
          optimize various types of searches on EML documents and need not be changed.

  <p>
528
   Ant allows compilation and installation to be done in one step.
529
   Change into the metacat directory and type:
530
   <pre><b>ant install</b></pre>
531
   <p>
532
   You should see a bunch of messages telling you the progress of compilation
533
   and installation.  When it is done you should see the message
534
   BUILD SUCCESSFUL
535
   and you should be returned to a UNIX command prompt.  If you do not see
536
   the message BUILD SUCCESSFUL then there was an error that you need to
537
   resolve.
538
   This may come up if you are logged in as a user that does not have write
539
   access to one or more of the directories that are listed in the build.xml
540
   file, or if any of the paths to files are not configured correctly in the
541
   "config" target.

544
  Note: The 'data' directories that are indicated in the 'datafilepath' and

  <h3>SQL Scripts</h3></p>
555
  <p>
556
   You now need to set up the table structure in your database.  You can
557
   do this either using the ant build system, or by manually running the
558
   scripts using a sql utility.
559
  </p>
560
  <p><b>WARNING: Do NOT run this on an existing metacat installation as it
561
  will delete all of your data.  If you have an existing metacat installation,
562
  see the instructions for <a HREF="metacatinstall.html#Upgrade">"Compilation and Upgrading Existing Metacat"</a> below.</b></p>
563
564
  <p>To run the scripts using ant, type
565
   <pre><b>ant installdb</b></pre>
566
  </p>
567
  <p>To run the scripts manually, change to the
568
   metacat/build/src directory.  Then run you RDBMS's SQL utility.  In Oracle it is
569
   SQLPlus.  This tutorial assumes an Oracle database so this example is for
570
   SQLPlus.  Login as the oracle user that was set up for use with Metacat.
571
   At the SQLPlus prompt type the following: <pre><b>@xmltables.sql;</b></pre>
572
   For postgres, use a command like:
573
   <code>psql -U metacat -W -h localhost -f build/src/xmltables-postgres.sql metacat</code>
574
  </p>
575
  <p>Either way,
576
   you should see a bunch of output showing the creation of the Metacat table
577
   space. The first time you run this script you will get several errors at the
578
   beginning saying that you cannot drop a table/index/trigger because it
579
   does not exist.  This is normal.  Any other errors besides this need to be
580
   resolved before continuing. The script file name for PostgreSQL is
581
   xmltables-postgres.sql and for Microsoft SQL server is
582
   xmltables-sqlserver.sql.
583
  </p>
584
  <p>
585
   If the script has run correctly you should be able to type
586
   <pre>describe xml_documents</pre> and it should show:

   </pre>

  </p>
605
  <p><h3>Register schemas and DTDs</h3></p>
606
  <p>Once the tables have been created, you should also register the Ecological
607
  Metadata Language (EML) DTDs and schemas. <b>However, note that you should
608
  NOT do this if you are upgrading an existing installation -- the upgrade
609
  scripts take care of it for you (see the next section).</b>  If you are
610
  installing new, you can register the schema documents by running:</p>
611
  <pre><b>ant register-schemas</b></pre>
612
  <p>This command registers the EML DTDs' and schemas' location in the
613
  metacat server.  Your database username and password have to be set correctly
614
  for this to work.  Also, if for some reason running this script from ant
615
  does not work, you could instead try running "build/src/loaddtdschema.sql"
616
  from your sql utility (but be sure to use the version in the 'build' directory
617
  that has been customized for your installation).
618
  </p>
619
  <h3>Restart Tomcat</h3>
620
  <p>
621
   Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step.  Tomcat
622
   (and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted.  To do
623
   this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"),
624
   go to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and type:
625
   <pre>
626
   <b>
627
   ./shutdown.sh
628
   ./startup.sh
629
   </b>
630
   </pre>
631
   In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something in the log file like:
632
   <pre>
633
	Metacat: [WARN]: Metacat (1.8.1) initialized. [edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet]
634
   </pre>
635
   If you see that message Tomcat is successfully loading the Metacat servlet.
636
   Next, try to run your new servlet.  Go to a web browser and type:
637
   <pre>http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/</pre>
638
   You should substitute your context name for "yourcontext" in the url above.
639
   If everything is working correctly, you should see a query page followed
640
   by an empty result set.  Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with
641
   Apache you will probably have to type
642
   <pre>http://yourserver.yourdomain.com:8080/yourcontext/</pre>
643
  </p>
644
  <p><b>Troubleshooting</b>: If you see something like java.lang.InternalError:
645
  Can't connect to X11 window server using 'yourservanme:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
646
  <p>You should add this line:
647
  <b>JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true $JAVA_OPTS"</b> at the first line of
648
  catalina.sh file in tomcat bin directory. The reason is that GeoServer uses X11 windows to draw graphics.
649
  </p>
650
651
  <h3>Deploy wsdl file (Only for EarthGrid-enabled Metacat installation) </h3>
652
  <p>
653
   Once Tomcat is running successfully, there is another step for EarthGrid-enabled Metacat installation.
654
   In metacat directory, type:
655
   <pre><b>ant deploy-ecogrid</b></pre>
656
   It will generate wsdl files for EarthGrid services.
