Install and configuration steps for .jar file install For Geonetwork + ANZMEST 2.8RC2 using Jetty on Windows box and an existing postgres/postgis db with the ApacheDBCPool ***Install*** Download the jar from http://bluenetdev.its.utas.edu.au/download/geonetwork-2.8.0-RC2-installer-2012-11-09.jar Make a folder say C:/ANZMEST-2.8RC2 for the install Run the install .jar and select all the plugins ANZLIC, GAST, MCP etc, the whole lot. **Configuration** These steps assume you already had a GN+ANZMEST2.8RC1 before connected to a postgres/postgis db and you want to keep your existing metadata work and connected resources i.e thumbnails + data files for download. If you were starting from scratch ignore step 7 below. 1. **rem out the del and move statements in start_geonetwork.bat, we want to keep all the GN logs! 2. Increase max Java heap to 1 gb with -Xmx1024m in start_geonetwork.bat because iso19135 GCMD register are large xml files and html. 3. Bug fix for path problem (see GN wiki ticket #910 FP's fix) to find xsl conversion scripts for harvestors and impoeeters - make a new folder xsl/conversion under web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data - copy all contents from existing web/geonetwork/xsl/converion to web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data/xsl/conversion Doing this fix lets you run the OGCWxS harvestor OK 4. Edit WEB-INF/config.xml and include the line: config-metadata-schemaplugins.xml The will include all those useful ANZLIC+MCP schema specific services! 5. Assuming you are using the embedded geoserver web app that comes with install. In web\geoserver\WEB_-INF\web.xml set the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR to where the Geoiserver data is: GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR C:/YourInstallFolder/web/geoserver/data 6. Configure GN to point to your existing postgis db on startup - edit WEB-INF/config.xml or copy the config.xml from your last version that had the postGIS configured properly. Here is the postgres/postgis config I use: a. Switch off the default h2 database set for the h2 resource b. Set the up postgres resource (the one with ApacheDBCPool not the JNDIPool one) as follows: main-db jeeves.resources.dbms.ApacheDBCPool postgres admin org.postgis.DriverWrapper jdbc:postgresql_postGIS://localhost:5432/GN-spatial 10 SELECT 1 7. Copy folder metadata_data from old GN to new GN i.e public + private resources from old install including thumbnails and any attached data files for download -make a folder 'data' under web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data -Copy folder metadata_data to web/geonetwork/WEB-INF/data/data 8. Start up Geonetwork from bin/start-geonetwork.bat
