Subject: Jetspeed installation...
hi list,
apologies for asking a very silly question....
can someone guide me through the installation of jetspeed
my config:
OS: win2k pro
WebServer: Apache 1.3.9
Servlet Engine: Resin1.1.2.
from the installation docs provided with jetspeed.. i cannot much
set
myself up...
PLEASE be kind .. i am new to this stuff.....
fine i will tell what i understand/dontunderstand from the
installation
notes provided with jetspeed. tell me where i am going wrong.
Jet: "Move the "content" directory to "/content" under your web
server. If
you already have a "content" directory simply add the files there."
Me: i make a directory in c:\Apache\htdocs called "content" . o move
the
jetspeed content into it. right....
Ok
Jet:Add ./bin/Jetspeed.jar to your classpath. This contains all
classes
from Jetspeed. You will also need to add required libraries to your
classpath. Everything you need should be under ./lib.
Me: this is simple ..
Ok, so far, so good
Jet:Configure your Servlet init parameters. Add the property
"properties"
to point to Jetspeed to the file
"./src/config/TurbineResources.properties"
that ships with the Jetspeed distribution. This can be done by
setting an
init parameter in your Servlet Engine (under Jakarta this is defined
in
WEB-INF/web.xml). You should give the Servlet an alias to something
like
"jetspeed".
Me: i have no idea what this means..... note: i am using resin1.1.2
as my
servlet engine ....
Jetspeed uses the Turbine framework (check at java.apache.org). In
order to configure
that you will need to setup an init parameter pointing for the file
Turbine.properties,
which is in the /config directory in your Jetspeed install dir. Your
Servlet engine must
let you configure an init parameter normally in a properties file
(XML file for TOMCAT)
Check Resin1.2.2 docs and servlet config page to see how to
configure that. A clue: if Resin
uses a properties file, then it should be on the form:
servlet.jetspeed.class=...declare jetspeed
servlet.jetspeed.initparm=properties=path/to/TurbineResources.properties
Jet: Configure your installation. You should evaluate
TurbineResources.properties and JetspeedResources.properies to make
sure
they match your configuation. There are comments in both of these
files
which should make configuration fairly easy. Note that Turbine
supports
user authentication. Jetspeed supports this but it is currently
optional
and up to you to setup.
Me: what do u mean by "evaluate...." i went through these files ..
the
comments are fine but evaluate what?how?... cant get that....
You will need to scan TurbineResources and JetspeedResources in
order to customize
some parameters, for instance, the path to JetspeedResources.
Evaluate seems to be vague,
but you will have to provide some of the information there (you are
using w2k, so all file
access will have to cope with win \\ path convention. Where are your
files ? Nobody
could guess that or impose some rigid structure.
i know there are a lot of ppl who might kill me for this looong and
stupid
mail but .. please try to understand ... i am just starting to learn
these...
I can't recall a person born a Jetspeed user ;)
subhro....
