|
<p>If you are going to run Tomcat behind the Apache web server, you have some additional
|
|
57
|
setup to perform. One of the reasons for recommending the Ubuntu Linux O/S is its
|
|
58
|
ease of setup. This becomes abundantly clear when configuring Apache. We will
|
|
59
|
address Ubuntu/Debian configurations separately from all other configurations.</p>
|
|
60
|
|
|
61
|
<a name="UbuntuConfig"></a><div class="header1">Unbuntu/Debian Configuration</div>
|
|
62
|
<p>If you are installing on an Ubuntu/Debian system, and you installed Apache using
|
|
63
|
apt-get, the Metacat code will have helper files that can be dropped into directories
|
|
64
|
to configure Apache. Depending on whether you are installing from binary distribution
|
|
65
|
or source, these helper files will be in one of two locations:
|
|
66
|
|
|
67
|
<ul>
|
|
68
|
<li>Installing From Binary Distribution - the helper files will be located in the
|
|
69
|
directory where you extracted the distribution.</li>
|
|
70
|
<li>Installing From Source - regardless if it's a source distribution or source that
|
|
71
|
you checked out from the SVN repository, the helper files will be located in:
|
|
72
|
<div class="code"><metacat_code_dir>/src/scripts</div></li>
|
|
73
|
</ul>
|
|
74
|
<p>We will refer to the directory with the helper scripts as <metacat_helper_dir></p>
|
|
75
|
<p>We will refer to the directory where Apache is installed as <apache_install_dir></p>
|
|
76
|
|
|
77
|
<a name="ModJK"></a><div class="header2">Set Up Mod JK</div>
|
|
78
|
<p>Apache uses a module called Mod JK to talk to Tomcat applications. If you haven't done so
|
|
79
|
already, you can install it by typing:</p>
|
|
80
|
<div class="code">sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jk</div>
|
|
81
|
<p>The helper files that configure the interface between Apache and Tomcat are jk.conf and workers.properties.
|
|
82
|
To install these files:</p>
|
|
83
|
<div class="code">sudo cp <metacat_helper_dir>/jk.conf <apache_install_dir>/mods-available/</div>
|
|
84
|
<div class="code">sudo cp <metacat_helper_dir>/workers.properties <apache_install_dir></div>
|
|
85
|
<p>Disabling and re-enabling the Apache Mod JK module will pick up the new changes:</p>
|
|
86
|
<div class="code">sudo a2dismod jk</div>
|
|
87
|
<div class="code">sudo a2enmod jk</div>
|
|
88
|
|
|
89
|
<a name="SetUpKnb"></a><div class="header2">Set Up Metacat Site</div>
|
|
90
|
<p>Next, Apache needs to know about the Metacat site. The helper file named "knb" has rules that
|
|
91
|
tell Apache which traffic to route to Metacat. Set up the knb (Metacat) site by dropping the
|
|
92
|
knb file into the sites-available directory and running the a2ensite to enable the site:</p>
|
|
93
|
<div class="code">sudo cp <metacat_helper_dir>/knb <apache_install_dir>/sites-available</div>
|
|
94
|
<div class="code">sudo a2ensite knb</div>
|
|
95
|
|
|
96
|
<a name="LsidConfig"></a><div class="header2">LSID Service Configuration</div>
|
|
97
|
<p>If you want to run an optional LSID server along with the Metacat server, set up and enable the authority service site
|
|
98
|
configurations by typing:</p>
|
|
99
|
<div class="code">sudo cp <metacat_helper_dir>/authority <apache_install_dir>/sites-available</div>
|
|
100
|
<div class="code">sudo a2ensite authority</div>
|
|
101
|
|
|
102
|
<a name="UbuntuReloadApache"></a><div class="header2">Reload Apache</div>
|
|
103
|
<p>Reload apache to bring in changes by typing:</p>
|
|
104
|
<div class="code">sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload</div>
|
|
105
|
|
|
106
|
<a name="OtherConfig"></a><div class="header1">Other O/S Configuration</div>
|
|
107
|
<p>If you are running on an O/S other than Ubuntu/Debian or you installed the
|
|
108
|
Apache source or binary, you will need to manually edit the Apache configuration
|
|
109
|
file.</p>
|
|
110
|
|
|
111
|
<p>We will refer to the directory where Apache is installed as <apache_install_dir></p>
|
|
112
|
|
|
113
|
<p>Edit:</p>
|

115
|
|
|
116
|
<a name="ModJkLog"></a><div class="header2">Mod JK Log Configuration</div>
|
|
117
|
<p> You should configure the log location and level for Mod JK. If you do not
|
|
118
|
already have a section like this, you should add it.</p>

<a name="WorkersProperties"></a><div class="header2">workers.properties file</div>
|
|
174
|
<p>You will need to drop a file named "workers.proerpties" file into your Apache
|
|
175
|
configuration directory, and edit the file to make sure all properties are correct.
|
|
176
|
Metacat provides a base workers.properties file for you to use. Depending on
|
|
177
|
whether you are installing from binary distribution or source, the workers.properties
|
|
178
|
files will be in one of two locations:
|
|
179
|
|
|
180
|
<ul>
|
|
181
|
<li>Installing From Binary Distribution - the file will be located in the
|
|
182
|
directory where you extracted the distribution.</li>
|
|
183
|
<li>Installing From Source - regardless if it's a source distribution or source that
|
|
184
|
you checked out from the SVN repository, the file will be located in:
|
|
185
|
<div class="code"><metacat_code_dir>/src/scripts/workers.properties</div></li>
|
|
186
|
</ul>
|
|
187
|
|
|
188
|
<p>Copy the workers.properties file into:</p>
|
|
189
|
<apache_install_dir>/conf/
|
|
190
|
|
|
191
|
<p>Edit the workers.properties file and make sure the following properties are
|
|
192
|
set correctly:</p>
|
|
193
|
<ul>
|
|
194
|
<li>workers.tomcat_home - should be set to the Tomcat install directory on your system.</li>
|
|
195
|
<li>workers.java_home - should be set to the Java install directory on your system.</li>
