[Using Sakai] sakai 2.7 installation help needed

[Anthony Whyte]

STEP 4.  Your setenv.sh includes several duplicate entries.  Perhaps it's a cut-and-paste error but please double check:

Here is an example JAVA_OPTS that includes the optional -Dsakai.demo=true that adds test course data:

export 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'

STEP 6.  Good practice but strictly speaking all you've done at this point is set yourself up with a sakai.properties file that, as an exact copy of default.sakai.properties, overrides no default settings.  The fun truly starts when you begin to modify the defaults for local usage.

STEPS 7-8.  Per the bin instructions you download the archive into $CATALINA_HOME and unpack the archive. Then you start up Tomcat by running the Tomcat startup script in $CATALINA_HOME/bin.  

Unfortunately, the location that you specified unpacking sakai-bin-2.7.1 into is incorrect.

So delete this folder: CATALINA_HOME/webapps/sakai-bin.  Download or copy sakai-bin-2.7.1.tgz into $CATALINA_HOME.  Then unpack:

cd $CATALINA_HOME
tar -xzvf sakai-bin-2.7.1.tgz

Unpacking the *.tgz will put Sakai artifacts in the following folders:

$CATALINA_HOME
		/webapps  (Sakai *.war files)
		/shared/lib  (Sakai api and help jars)
		/components (Sakai packaged components, e.g., Spring configuration files and tool/service impl jars)

Start up Tomcat by running

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Shutdown Tomcat by running

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

To watch the progress of Sakai starting up in Tomcat open a second terminal window, change directories to

$CATALINA_HOME/logs

then enter

tail -f catalina.out


Cheers,

Anthony
