  3. Copy the "workers.properties" file provided by Metacat into your Apache configuration directory (<apache_install_dir>/conf/).  Depending on whether you are installing from binary distribution or source, the workers.properties file will be in one of two locations:

  sudo a2dismod jk
353 351
  sudo a2enmod jk

4. Apache needs to know about the Metacat site. The helper file named "knb" has rules that tell Apache which traffic to route to Metacat. Set up the knb (Metacat) site by dropping the knb file into the sites-available directory and running a2ensite to enable the site:

3.  Install the Metacat WAR in the Tomcat web-application directory. For instructions on downloading the Metacat WAR, please see Downloading Metacat.  Typically, Tomcat will look for its application files (WAR files) in the <tomcat_home>/webapps directory (e.g., /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps). Your instance of Tomcat may be configured to look in a different directory. We will refer to the Tomcat application directory as <tomcat_app_dir>.  NOTE: The name of the WAR file (e.g., knb.war) provides the application context, which appears in the URL of the Metacat (e.g., http://yourserver.com/knb/). To change the context, simply change the name of the WAR file to the desired name before copying it.  To install the Metacat WAR:

something else). If everything is working correctly, you should be presented
620 618
with Metacat's Authorization Configuration screen. Note that if you do not have
621 619
Tomcat integrated with Apache you will probably have to type

To run your new Metacat servlet, open a Web browser and type::

656 654
  http://yourserver.yourdomain.com/yourcontext/ 
657
  (e.g.  http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/)

  (e.g.  http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/metacat/)
658 656

  
659
Your context will be "knb" unless you changed the name of the knb.war file to
657
Your context will be "metacat" unless you changed the name of the metacat.war file to
660 658
something else. The servlet may require a few seconds to start up, but once it
661 659
is running, you will be presented with the Authorization Configuration screen.
