Administration:CVRG Developer Image

These technologies have all been deployed/tested in CentOS 5.2(RHEL) running in VMWare on Windows XP as the host OS:

System Configuration

VMWare Configuration

A separate volume should be configured to share data between the host and guest OS. This volume should be greater than 100GB. You MUST configure this space as follows:

• In WinXP goto Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management to configure the volume.
  • Volume Name: Linux
  • Drive Letter: L
• Create Folder: CVRG_DEV_IMAGE (Where VMWare image is stored; ie. L:/CVRG_DEV_IMAGE)
• Create Folder: Software (Where data is stored that is accessible from Windows XP host and CentOS 5.2 Guest; ie. L:/Software)
• Make sure that the shared folder is always enabled

CVRG Developer Image Information
The image is 3.88GB an can be found here:

cor002/data/CVRG Developer Image

User names and passwords

All are found within the directory holding the image in a file named: userNamesANDPasswds.txt

mySQL & Subversion

• Make sure that your network config has the correct DNS settings or else yum will not work

Install commands: yum install mysql* yum install subversion*

How to reset mySQL root: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html

eclipse.ini configuration

eclipse.ini can be found here: /opt/eclipse. The configuration is shown below:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/opt/xulrunner
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m

Software folder

Symbolic link for Software folder on your Desktop:

Open a terminal window
cd Desktop
ln -s /mnt/hgfs/Software Software

Tomcat Configuration

• Upon unpacking both the 5.5 and 6.0 versions of tomcat, you will need to change the permissions on the .sh files as well as create a logs directory this is done as follows
• You will need to change the location of the root tomcat containers to match that found in the .bash_profile above. This is easily done by replacing all CATALINA_HOME instances in the ${TOMCAT_ROOT}/bin/catalina.sh file with the corresponding correct environmental variable name. This will place the corresponding container with the appropriate environmental variable container name. The CATALINA_HOME environmental variable is used for determining the location of the CVRG Portal Tomcat Container, this should never be overridden.

For Tomcat 5.5

cd /opt
ln -s /opt/apache-tomcat-5.5.26 tomcat55
chmod 755 /opt/tomcat55/bin/*.sh
mkdir /opt/tomcat55/logs 
gedit ${TOMCAT55_HOME}/bin/catalina.sh
find and replace CATALINA_HOME with TOMCAT55_HOME

For Tomcat 6.0

cd /opt
ln -s apache-tomcat-6.0.18 tomcat60
chmod 755 /opt/tomcat60/bin/*.sh 
mkdir /opt/tomcat55/logs
gedit ${TOMCAT60_HOME}/bin/catalina.sh
find and replace CATALINA_HOME with TOMCAT60_HOME

Ant Configuration

After unpacking the apache-ant-1.7.0 into /opt

cd /opt
ln -s /opt/apache-ant-1.7.0 ant

Java Configuration

After download of jdk-1_5_0_16-linux-i586.bin into /opt

1. chmod a+x /opt/jdk-1_5_0_16-linux-i586.bin
2. cd /opt
3. ./jdk-1_5_0_16-linux-i586.bin

• Goto System Menu->Administrations->Users and Groups
• Click on Group Tab
  • Add Group->Group Name:CVRG_DEV_USERS
• Add User to Group by Clicking Users Tab
  • Double Click cvrgDefault or other userName

ls -l (should show all folders now of group)

Edit profile for all users (environmental settings)

The /etc/profile file contains system wide environmental variables and startup programs. All customizations that you put in this file will apply for the entire environment variable on your system (ie. for all users).

Open the /etc/profile using gedit as root

gedit /etc/profile

Just under the HISTSIZE=1000 enter the following:

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
TOMCAT55_HOME=/opt/tomcat55
TOMCAT60_HOME=/opt/tomcat60
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat-cvrgportal
ANT_HOME=/opt/ant
GLOBUS_LOCATION=/opt/ws-core-4.0.3
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$CATALINA_HOME/bin:$TOMCAT_HOME55/bin:$TOMCAT_HOME60/bin

Change the export line to the following:

export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC JAVA_HOME TOMCAT55_HOME TOMCAT60_HOME CATALINA_HOME ANT_HOME GLOBUS_LOCATION

Echo values:

type echo $JAVA_HOME
You should see: /opt/java
type echo $ANT_HOME
You should see: /opt/ant
type echo $GLOBUS_LOCATION
You should see: /opt/ws-core-4.0.3
