Hello alls,
I had some bad days installing GN21 under IIS, tomcat and PGsql, so I wanted to share my collection of "tricks". I hope it helps!!!
1- Install JRE
People says that Geonetwork does not work well under JRE1.6, so I installed jre-1_5_0_11-windows-i586-p.exe. But in fact, I had some problems accessing the postgres database. So I got around this, installing JRE1.6 with the parser_xalan( xalan.jar et serializer.jar)
2- Install Tomcat
I did a regular install of Tomcat, with examples, and running as a Windows service.
Under the tomcat monitor, I have:
Java Virtual machine: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\client\jvm.dll
Java Options: -Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\Tomcat55
-Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\Tomcat55
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Tomcat55\common\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Tomcat55\temp
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Tomcat55\conf\logging.properties -Xmx512m -Xms48m
The default port of Tomcat is 8080, be careful to remember the administrative password.
-> Test tomcat: http://localhost:8080
3- Install the Tomcat connector into IIS
You have to follow the instructions from the tomcat website (tomcat-iis-howto.html) and http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2002/12/18/tomcat.html?page=1
Careful, on the tomcat website, they say that you should modify the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\Filter DLLs". That did not work for me. What I did was to follow the www.onjava.com instructions that I reproduce here:
1. In the registry, create a new registry key named "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\1.0"
2. Add a string value with the name extension_uri and a value of /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll
3. Add a string value with the name log_file and a value pointing to where you want your log file to be (for example c:\jakarta-tomcat\logs\isapi.log ).
4. Add a string value with the name log_level and a value for your log level (can be debug, info, error or emerg).
5. Add a string value with the name worker_file and a value which is the full path to your workers.properties file (for example c:\jakarta-tomcat\conf\workers.properties )
6. Add a string value with the name worker_mount_file and a value which is the full path to your uriworkermap.properties file (for example c:\jakarta-tomcat\conf\uriworkermap.properties )
7. Using the IIS management console, add a new virtual directory to your IIS/PWS web site. The name of the virtual directory must be jakarta. Its physical path should be the directory where you placed isapi_redirect.dll (in our example it is c:\jakarta-tomcat\bin\win32\i386). While creating this new virtual directory assign it with execute access. 11. We now need to add the ISAPI Redirector to the default Web site, so right-click on the default Web site and select the menu item Properties.
8. Select the ISAPI Filters tab and press the Add button.
9. Enter a filter name and browse to the location of the isapi_redirector.dll file. The following image shows the values that I have used in my instance.
10. Restart IIS
File tomcat/conf/uriworkermap.properties
/jsp-examples/*=testWorker
/servlets-examples/*=testWorker
/geonetwork/*=testWorker
/geoserver/*=testWorker
/intermap/*=testWorker
/tomcat-docs/*=testWorker
File workers.properties
worker.list=testWorker
worker.testWorker.port=8009
worker.testWorker.host=localhost
worker.testWorker.type=ajp13
Logs:
IIS: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Logfiles\W3SVC1
TOMCAT: C:\Program Files\Tomcat55\logs
Test the tomcat connector: http://localhost/jsp-examples/index.html
4- Install the Pgsql connector
- In GN2.1, the Pgsql connector is already installed, so this step is optional.
- I got the most recent connector, for example: postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc4.jar
- I copy the file to <install_tomcat>/common/lib and <install JRE1.5>\lib\ext et <install_geonetwork>/geonetwork\WEB-INF\lib
5- Install Geonetwork 2.1
Careful, after installing, a message asking if you want to create and example database appears. In my case, the message was appearing under the main dialogue, and I did not understand why the installation could not finish!
Careful too: You'll have to remember the default GN user: admin witj pw=admin
- You can test the default install with the default application server: http://localhost:8080 (fisrt stop tomcat, and start the GN server)
- I had to indicate the absolute path for Intermap to work: intermap/WEB-INF/config.xml
<!-- temp files -->
<param name="tempDir" value="c:/geonetwork/web/intermap/tmp/" />
<param name="tempDeleteMinutes" value="15" />
<param name="tempUrl" value="/intermap/tmp" />
<!-- http cache -->
<param name="httpCacheDir" value="c:/geonetwork/web/intermap/httpCache/" />
<param name="httpCacheDeleteEvery" value="60" />
<param name="useCache" value="true" />
- To configure Tomcat, I followed the instructions of the geonetworksetupsupporting.pdf, but I did some modificatiosn that I reproduce here:
go to the Tomcat configuration file: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
Add to the end (just before the </Host> tab the following:
<Context
path="/geonetwork"
docBase="C:\geonetwork\web\geonetwork"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/intermap"
docBase="C:\geonetwork\web\intermap"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
<Context
path="/geonetwork/intermap"
docBase="C:\geonetwork\web\intermap"
crossContext="false"
debug="1"
reloadable="false" />
Then go to the tab
<Connector
port="8080"
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150"
minSpareThreads="25"
maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false"
redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTime="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
6- Postgres
- In PGadmin, create the DB "geonetwork"
- In GAST:
Options config:
External
- Localhost, 8080, geonetwork
- Authentified user: This is a geonetwork user, by default: admin, admin
DBMS config:
server: localhost
port: 5432
Db: geonetwork
user: admin (the postgres db user)
pwd: <pwdpostgres>
-> restart Tomcat
- In GAST, setup DB, and then Sample Data.
That's how it worked for me, but I'm no expert, so good luck!
