Jakarta Pluto Installation Guide

In case you don't have JDK installed, download and Install a Java Development Kit release (version 1.3.1) from http://java.sun.com/j2se/

Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory

In case you don't have any Tomcat 4.1. installed, download and Install the Tomcat 4.1 Binary Distribution from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.1

Unpack the binary distribution into a convenient location so that the distribution resides in its own directory (conventionally named "jakarta-tomcat-4.1"). For the purposes of the remainder of this document, the symbolic name "${CATALINA_HOME}" is used to refer to the full pathname of the release directory.

From the command line, go to the /PLUTO_DIR/build/ant/bin and change mode of ant as executable. chmod u+x ant

Go to the /PLUTO_DIR/build and change mode of build.sh as executable. chmod u+x build.sh

Call build, if you need to completely rebuild you can use "build rebuild"

Change mode of install.sh as executable. chmod u+x install.sh

Call the "install" script (install.bat or install.sh). You will be asked to type the Path where Tomcat is installed (exact path should be given)

Start Up Tomcat 4.1. Please see Tomcat instructions for information

Start Pluto from any web browser at http://localhost:8080/pluto/portal

In case Tomcat runs on a different port, change the port setting in ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/pluto/WEB-INF/config/services/ConfigService.properties

Also change the default host.name that is localhost. Give an exact hostname like darya.ucs.indiana.edu. Otherwise portlet links could be broken.
