Michael Clovis commented on ROL-1743:
-------------------------------------
Additionally.. (maybe as install directions)
1. Create a directory that the tomcat user has permissions and access
let' call it /usr/home/YOURNAME/roller_data
2. In this directory create a uploads, search-index, themes, and planetcache
directory
3. copy the themes from apache-roller-4.0/apps/weblogger/web/themes to
roller_data/themes directory
4. Create a roller-custom.properties file that has JDBC settings for the
database and property settings
for the mail server.
6. Also in the roller-custom.properties file set the full path to the
uploads.dir, search.index.dir, themes.dir and planet.aggregator.cache.dir.
These will be the directories in /usr/home/YOURNAME/roller_data.
7. Create a planet-custom.properties file. You really only need to do this IF
your JDBC settings in roller-custom.properties are not the default. In that
they probably are not (username, password at least) you should make one. The
JDBC settings should match roller-custom.properties. IF your permissions on the
war and the directories are correct, I believe this should take care of all the
issues.
Another way to handle these issues would be to start to address through code
the number of configuration options through properties files. Possibly through
a GROOVY ConfigSlurper or a common interface for all projects. I did not
tackle this as this seems to be needed to be addressed by the leads of the
sub-projects first.
