This page documents the installation experience of PerfSONAR at SLAC. It will be installed on net-desk1 - which is not visible from outside SLAC. The idea is to house a production system on jakarta2.slac.stanford.edu on which AJP13 will be used to redirect from an IIS server from outside.

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
  • got fed up with UI, so did console install:

  • think the configuration of exist dbs a bit screwy.
  • anyway, http://net-desk1/axis/servlet/AxisServlet shows following which kinda implies its running...
    LookupService (wsdl)
    acceptCall
    MeasurementArchiveService (wsdl)
    acceptCall
  • No labels
