This page documents the installation experience of PerfSONAR at SLAC.
PerfSONAR requires the
...
following to operate:
- eXist (XML db)
- rrdtools
- axis (soap)
TOMCAT
...
- trying install on net-desk1: changing tomcat to run on port 80 (so security don't complain), run as root due to privalegded ports.
- default users do not include the necessary admin and manager roles in tomcat-users.xml. adding them in allows the built in manager app.
EXIST
...
- downloaded war file instead of full distro.
- added exist-1.0rc.war to deloyed.
- tomcat installs the war as exist-1.0rc; therefore the links don't work as it expects exist directory in webapps. therefore, added symlink.
- added a rrdmaservice and lookupservice users to the exist db (as per the instructions).
- dubious as this will work as i am using the tomcat war, rather than an external service running on port 8680 (as per instructuions)
- sooo... also installed the jetty/html version as per the instructions (20060316), and repeated the user additions and the mkcol commands.
AXIS
...
- perfsonar release recommends 1.2.1; only version 1.4 available on apache site.
- need to link the folder axis/webapps/axis to the tomcat webapps directory.
perfSONAR
...
- trying GUI install
- needs to pick up the ENV settings for the fields (too much to change)
- need to add AXIS_PATH/WEB-INF/lib/*.jar to CLASSPATH
- also RRDTOOL_PATH/lib
- and PERFSONAR_PATH/contrib/rrdjtool/build
- selected to install everything; changed ports to 80 and changed exist port to 80
- on configuring the exist stuff; a prompt comes up to connect to service. the URL is incomplete (after the hypen) - doesn't really matter as the readme says that i've done all this anyway (user creation).
- also complains of cgmod a+x log.sh; file doesn't appear to exist in installation
