How to install the search engine

You will need to install the search engine on a machine that has Jakarta or similar Servlet container installed.

This manual will asume that you are using Tomcat 5.0 or better.


bash# rpm -ihv $RPMDIR/cvebrowser-web-1.0-0.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
1:cvebrowser-web       ########################################### [100%]

After installing the RPM, you will have a 'war' file that can be deployed to your servlet container:

[root@localhost root]#ls /opt/cvebrowser/war/
cvebrowser.war
[root@localhost root]#

Then follow the instructions about how to deploy a web app, as they appear here:

You will also need to prepare a JNDI connection pool for the web app. Please copy the MySQL Jconnect jar file into '$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib' and then add a connection pool definition into the '$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml' file of your Jakarta instalation.

You can get a copy of the MySQL jar file from the tools lib directory (For example, if CATALINA_HOME is '/home/josevnz/tomcat50-jwsdp'):

bash#cp -p /opt/cvebrowser/lib/mysql-connector-java-3.0.6-stable-bin.jar /home/josevnz/tomcat50-jwsdp/common/lib/

And the server.xml could look like this:

<Engine defaultHost="localhost" name="Catalina">
                        <Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost">
                                <DefaultContext>

</Engine>

You will need to restart Tomcat after making the changes:

[root@localhost root]# $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh ; $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
