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
20./gs3-install.sh
21
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'.
25
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
30
31Using SOAP:
32------------
33
34Greenstone comes setup to use SOAP. SOAP runs as a servlet inside Tomcat, and is disabled by default. To enable it, run
35./gs3-enable-soap.sh
36Then re-launch Greenstone:
37./gs3-launch.sh -shutdown
38./gs3-launch.sh
39
40A SOAP server for localsite comes predeployed.
41You should be able to see all localsite's collections through the gateway servlet.
42
43To set up a SOAP server on a new site, run
44gs3-soap-deploy-site.sh <sitename> <siteURI>
45where the sitename is the directory name of the site, and siteURI is a unique
46identifier for the sites 'web service'.
