15Installing Greenstone from a CVS checkout:
16------------------------------------------
17
18(cvs co gsdl3) (if not already done)
19cd gsdl3
20./gs3-install.sh

22If you change the source and want to compile it again later, you can run make then make install from this directory.
23
24If 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'.

26Running Greenstone:
27-------------------
28
29Run 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

31Using SOAP:
32-----------
33
34To install SOAP into Tomcat (SOAP runs as a servlet), run
35./gs3-install-soap.sh
36Then re-launch Greenstone.
37
38A SOAP server for localsite comes predeployed.
39You should be able to see all localsite's collections through the gateway servlet.
40
41To set up a SOAP server on a new site, run
42gs3-soap-deploy-site <sitename> <siteURI>
43where the sitename is the directory name of the site, and siteURI is a unique
