Hello,

I've been lurking a short while now...

I've been attempting to install Jetspeed into our Jakarta-Tomcat /
Apache install.  (Unfortunately, I'm not the one who installed Tomcat
and Apache.)  

Our install is on Windows NT (currently; may be moved / copied to
Solaris at some point).  I'm wondering if there's any other installation
documents (or mail posts, etc.) besides the "standard" HTML doc that
comes with Jetspeed - it seems to expect more extensive Tomcat /
webserver knowledge than I have, though I've looked through the Tomcat
User's Guide and all that.

So, if anyone knows of a good detailed Jetspeed install doc, I'd love
that. :)


Here's some more specific questions that might help me (from the HTML
install doc):

I. Move the "content" directory to "/content" under your web server.
  I assume this means off the root of HTML documents? (htdocs under
apache)


II. 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". 


???  This confuses me (I suspect because I'm not more jakarta-tomcat
fluent.)

Under Jakarta-tomcat, I added a Context for jetspeed in
tomcat/conf/server.xml (tomcat/webapps/jetspeed):

--
<Context path="/jetspeed" docBase="webapps/jetspeed" debug="0"     
reloadable="true" > 
</Context>
--

In webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/web.xml, I added a servlet (with the
appropriate parameters?), pointing to where I unzipped jetspeed:

--
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>
        jetspeed
    </servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org/apache/jetspeed/portal/Portlet.class 
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>properties</param-name>
        <param-value>     /e:/jetspeed/src/config/TurbineResources.properties
        </param-value>
        <param-name>
            JETSPEED_RESOURCES
        </param-name>
        <param-value>
            /e:/jetspeed/src/config/JetSpeedResources.properties
        </param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>
--

I'm really not certain if this is all that needs doing, or if it is done
correctly ....

I did otherwise try and follow all of the install docs as much as I
could, and think I generally understand them (setting classpath, editing
JetspeedResources.properties, etc.)

Any help or pointers to more information much appreciated,

Thanks,
Jack Cataldo
