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...
