10Installing Greenstone from a binary distribution:
11-------------------------------------------------
12
13Download the gsdl3-x.xx-linux executable file, and run it. Follow the instructions given.
14
15Installing Greenstone from a CVS checkout:
16------------------------------------------
17
18(cvs co gsdl3) (if not already done)
19cd gsdl3
20source gs3-setup.sh
21./gs3-prepare.sh
22./configure
23make
24make install
25[make docs] (for the javadoc)
26./gs3-finalise.sh
27
28If you want to compile the test servlet, (useful is you are unsure whether Tomcat is working properly), go to gsdl3/web/WEB-INF/classes, and run 'javac TestServlet.java'. You will need to have sourced gs3-setup.sh in the gsdl3 directory first.
29
30Running Greenstone:
31-------------------
32
33Run the script gs3-launch.sh from the gsdl3 directory. This starts up a Tomcat web server and a mysql database server. To shutdown, run gs3-launch.sh -shutdown
34
35Using SOAP:
36-----------
37
38To install SOAP into Tomcat (SOAP runs as a servlet), run
39./gs3-install-soap.sh
40Then re-launch Greenstone.
41
42A SOAP server for localsite comes predeployed.
43You should be able to see all localsite's collections through the gateway servlet.
44
45To set up a SOAP server on a new site, run
46gs3-soap-deploy-site <sitename> <siteURI>
47where the sitename is the directory name of the site, and siteURI is a unique
48identifier for the sites 'web service'.
