Installing Metacat requires a server running an SQL92 compliant database
|
|
233
|
(Oracle 8i or Postgresql recommended) with at least 128MB RAM, and a Pentium III class
|
|
234
|
processor or higher. The amount of disk space required depends on the
|
|
235
|
size of your RDBMS tablespace (which should be at least 10 MB,
|
|
236
|
however Metacat itself requires only about 1 MB of free space after
|
|
237
|
installation). These instructions assume a Linux environment but may
|
|
238
|
work on other UNIX type environments, however this has not been tested.

The server on which you wish to install Metacat must have the following
|
|
244
|
software installed and running correctly before attempting to install
|
|
245
|
Metacat.

273
|
The Oracle RDBMS must be installed and running as a daemon on the system.
|
|
274
|
In addition the JDBC listener must be enabled. You can enable it by
|
|
275
|
logging in as your Oracle user and typing the following:
|
|
276
|
<pre>lsnrctl start</pre>
|
|
277
|
Your instance should have a table space of at least 5 MB (10 MB or higher
|
|
278
|
recommended). You should also have a username specific to Metacat
|
|
279
|
created and enabled. This user must have most normal permissions
|
|
280
|
including CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, CREATE TRIGGER,
|
|
281
|
EXECUTE PROCEDURE, EXECUTE TYPE, etc. If an action is unexplainably
|
|
282
|
rejected by Metacat it is probably because the user permissions are not
|
|
283
|
correctly set.

<p><i>Postgres:</i><br>
|
|
286
|
Postgres can be easily installed on most linux distributions and on
|
|
287
|
Windows (using cygwin) and Mac OS X. Using Fedora Core or RedHat Linux,
|
|
288
|
you can install the rpms for postgres and then run
|
|
289
|
<code>/etc/init.d/postgresql start</code> in order to start the database.
|
|
290
|
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux distributions, you can use the apt-get command
|
|
291
|
to install postgres: <code>sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.0</code> and
|
|
292
|
then run <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start</code> to start.
|
|
293
|
|
|
294
|
This initializes the data files. You need to do a bit of configuration
|
|
295
|
to create a database and set up a user account and allow internet access
|
|
296
|
via jdbc. See the postgres documentation for this, but here is a quick
|
|
297
|
start:
|
|
298
|
<ul>
|
|
299
|
<li>Switch to the "postgres" user account and edit "data/pg_hba.conf", adding the following line to the file:<br>
|
|
300
|
<code>host metacat metacat 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 password</code><br>
|
|
301
|
If your host uses IPv6 addresses, you may need this line instead:
|
|
302
|
<code>host metacat metacat ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff password</code></li>
|
|
303
|
<li>If you are using Postgresql pre-8.0, you must edit the "data/postgres.conf" file and uncomment and edit the line
|
|
304
|
starting with "tcpip_socket" so that it reads
|
|
305
|
<code>tcpip_socket = true</code></li>
|
|
306
|
<li>Run <code>createdb metacat</code> to create a new database</li>
|
|
307
|
<li>Run <code>psql metacat</code> to log in using the postgres account and create a new "metacat" user account
|
|
308
|
<ul>
|
|
309
|
<li>In postgres, run <code>CREATE USER metacat WITH UNENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'apasswordyoulike';</code></li>
|
|
310
|
<li>This creates a new account called metacat on the database named metacat</li>
|
|
311
|
<li>Note: there are many ways to do this, so others such as using
|
|
312
|
ENCRYPTED passwords will work fine.</li>
|
|
313
|
</ul>
|
|
314
|
</li>
|
|
315
|
<li>Exit the postgres account back to root and restart the postgres
|
|
316
|
database with <code>/etc/init.d/postgresql restart</code></li>
|
|
317
|
<li>Test logging into the postgres db using the metacat account with
|
|
318
|
the following command:
|
|
319
|
<code>psql -U metacat -W -h localhost metacat</code></li>
|
|
320

<p class="header">Ant</p>
|
|
323
|
<p>
|
|
324
|
Ant is a Java based build application similar to Make on UNIX systems.
|
|
325
|
It takes in installation parameters from a file in the root installation
|
|
326
|
directory named "build.xml". The Metacat CVS module contains a default
|
|
327
|
build.xml file that may require some modification upon installation. Ant
|
|
328
|
should be installed on the system and the "ant" executable shell script
|
|
329
|
should be available in the users path. The latest metacat release was tested with
|
|
330
|
Ant 1.6.5. <!-- We note that the current build is
|
|
331
|
not working with Ant 1.6.x, so you'll need to use an earler version. We have
|
|
332
|
successfully used Ant 1.5.1, 1.5.2, and some earlier versions. -->

|
385
|
<h3>Restart Tomcat</h3>
|
|
386
|
<p>
|
|
387
|
Once you have successfully installed Metacat, there is one more step. Tomcat
|
|
388
|
(and Apache if you have Tomcat integrated with it) must be restarted. To do
|
|
389
|
this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"),
|
|
390
|
go to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and type:
|
|
391
|
<pre>
|
|
392
|
<b>
|
|
393
|
./shutdown.sh
|
|
394
|
./startup.sh
|
|
395
|
</b>
|
|
396
|
</pre>
|
|
397
|
In the Tomcat startup messages you should see something in the log file like:
|
|
398
|
<pre>
|
|
399
|
Metacat: [WARN]: Metacat (1.8.1) initialized. [edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet]
|
|
400
|
</pre>
|
|
401
|
If you see that message Tomcat is successfully loading the Metacat servlet.
|
|
402
|
Next, try to run your new servlet. Go to a web browser and type:
|
|
403
|
<pre>
|
|
404
|
http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/
|
|
405
|
</pre>
|
|
406
|
You should substitute your context name for "yourcontext" in the url above.
|
|
407
|
If everything is working correctly, you should see a Metacat configuration screen. Note that if you do not have Tomcat integrated with
|
|
408
|
Apache you will probably have to type
|
|
409
|
<pre>
|
|
410
|
http://yourserver.yourdomain.com:8080/yourcontext/
|
|
411

<p><b>Troubleshooting</b>: If you see something like java.lang.InternalError:
|
|
414
|
Can't connect to X11 window server using 'yourservanme:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
|
|
415
|
<p>You should add this line:
|
|
416
|
<b>JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true $JAVA_OPTS"</b> at the first line of
|
|
417
|
catalina.sh file in tomcat bin directory. The reason is that GeoServer uses X11 windows to draw graphics.

<h3>Configure Metacat</h3>
|

<p>
|
|
422

<p>The following instructions are for upgrading an existing Metacat.

445
|
<p><h3>Stop the running Metacat</h3>
|
|
446
|
<P>To do this, login as the user that runs your tomcat server (often "tomcat"),
|
|
447
|
go to $CATALINA_HOME/bin and type:
|
|
448
|
<pre><b>./shutdown.sh</b> </pre>
|
|
449
|
<p>
|
|
450
|
<h3>Run Ant Build</h3>
|
|
451
|
<p>
|
|
452
|
Ant allows compilation and upgrading to be done in one step.
|
|
453
|
Change into the metacat directory and type:
|
|
454
|
<pre><b>ant clean upgrade</b></pre>
|
|
455
|
<p>
|
|
456
|
You should see a bunch of messages telling you the progress of compilation
|
|
457
|
and installation. When it is done you should see the message
|
|
458
|
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
|
|
459
|
and you should be returned to a UNIX command prompt. If you do not see
|
|
460
|
the message BUILD SUCCESSFUL then there was an error that you need to
|
|
461
|
resolve.
|
|
462
|
This may come up if you are logged in as a user that does not have write
|
|
463
|
access to one or more of the directories that are listed in the build.xml
|
|
464
|
file, or if any of the paths to files are not configured correctly in the
|
|
465
|
"config" target.
|
|
466
|
</p>
|
|
467
|
<p>
|
|
468
|
Note: The 'data' directories that are indicated in the 'datafilepath' and
|
|
469
|
'inlinedatafilepath' build properties must be writable
|
|
470
|
by user account under which Tomcat runs or you will not be able to upload
|
|
471
|
data files to the system.

|
<p><h3>Upgrade SQL Scripts</h3></p>
|
|
479
|
<P>Note: there is no SQL script that needs to be run when user upgrades the Metacat
|
|
480
|
from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1 release.</p>
|
|
481
|
<p>
|
|
482
|
If you have an existing metacat installation, you should not run the install
|
|
483
|
script because it will replace all of the older tables with new, empty
|
|
484
|
copies of the tables. Thus you would lose your data! Instead, you can
|
|
485
|
run some upgrade scripts that will change the table structure as needed for
|
|
486
|
the new version. If you are skipping versions, run each upgrade script
|
|
487
|
for the intermediate versions as well. Currently the upgrade scripts are:
|
|
488
|
</p>
|
|
489
|
<ul>
|
|
490
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.2.sql</li>
|
|
491
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.3.sql</li>
|
|
492
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.4.sql</li>
|
|
493
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.5.sql</li>
|
|
494
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.6.sql</li>
|
|
495
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.7.sql</li>
|
|
496
|
<li>build/src/upgrade-db-to-1.8.sql</li>
|
|
497
|
</ul>
|
|
498
|
<p>
|
|
499
|
For example, if you had an existing metacat 1.5 installation and you were upgrading
|
|
500
|
to metacat 1.8, you would need to run three scripts in sequence:
|
|
501
|
upgrade-db-to-1.6.sql, upgrade-db-to-1.7.sql, and upgrade-db-to-1.8.sql.
|
|
502
|
However, if you were starting from a Metacat 1.7
|
|
503
|
installation, you would only need to run the upgrade-db-to-1.8.sql script.
|
|
504
|
<em>Be sure to use the version of the scripts from the 'build/src' directory: they
|
|
505
|
are customized for your installation in that directory.</em>
|
|
506
|
</p>
|
|
507
|
<p>
|
|
508
|
Ant targets exist to do the upgrades, so you can also do the above described upgrade by running:<br />
|
|
509
|
</p>
|
|
510
|
<p>
|
|
511
|
<strong>ant upgrade16</strong><br />
|
|
512
|
<strong>ant upgrade17</strong><br />
|
|
513
|
<strong>ant upgrade18</strong><br />
|
|
514
|
</p>
|
|
515
|
|
|
516
|
</p>
|
