[Building Sakai] 2.7 Install

[Stephen Marquard]

Hi Warwick,

Do you have a load balancer configuration with apache httpd frontend as per:

http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Sakai+Admin+Guide+-+Load+Balancing+and+Scaling

Also when you say "everything has been built into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps", there is more than webapps - a Sakai deploy will also have components, common and some other directories.

The "-server" is probably unnnecessary as the jvm will default to the right configuration on high-end systems (multiple CPUs, etc.).

Regards
Stephen

Thanks Steve.  Nothing in the logs of interest from what I can see.

I did just try to restart Tomcat and it failed because of the "-server"
which is recommended in the JAVA_OPTS environment variable as recommended in
the install documentation.

# /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start
Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat5.5Invalid option -server
Cannot parse command line arguments

# set | grep server
JAVA_OPTS='-server -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:NewSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=384m -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dhttp.agent=Sakai
-Dsakai.demo=true
-Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true'

Is that supposed to be there?
