Typically, you install EP in a network environment. EP also includes a demo version of the product that you can install on a local machine.
The demo system is useful when you need system access for demonstrations or training sessions, or when your environment does not have a domain name. If you do have a domain, but want to use the demo system, you can access Web Studio via Internet Explorer. If you do not have a domain, the demo system is limited to Portal Interface access via Netscape, since Web Studio access requires Internet Explorer.
This section discusses installing EP in a network environment, but also includes special instructions for installing the demo system.
Installation takes five to ten minutes, depending on the speed of your machine.
If you are performing an upgrade from EP version 6.0
to 6.1, see “Special upgrade instructions”. If you are installing EP 6.1
in EAServer, see Appendix A, “Installing EP in EAServer 5.0.”
Installing EP in Tomcat
Typically you can use any account to install EP in Tomcat. However, if you plan to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), you must log in as root to install EP.
If you plan to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS), log in as root. Otherwise skip this step.
Open a terminal window and create an installation directory in which to install EP; for example, /opt/sybase. The installation directory is referred to as $SYBASE in this guide.
Copy the IE610.tar.gz file from the CD into the installation directory.
Using a zip utility, extract the IE610.tar.gz file into the installation directory. The command for extracting the file depends on the utility you are using.
Make sure the zip utility allows the archive to create
new folders in the location where you unzip it.
Use one of the following commands to unzip:
tar -zxvf IE610.tar.gz
gunzip -c IE610.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Using a text editor, check the hosts file, located in /etc, and verify you have the following entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
For the demo system (described in the introduction to “Installation tasks”):
127.0.0.1 localhost demo.sybase.com
See “Changing the host, domain, and port of the portal” for information.
Save the hosts file and exit the text editor.
If you are installing the demo system, go to step 8.
Otherwise, navigate to:
$SYBASE/infoedition
Enter config.sh. This
modifies:
Host name values in the global.properties.xml to the machine’s name. The global properties.xml file is located in $SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat/webapps/onepage/config and contains many system settings.
Host name and other values in the portalexplorer.properties file, which is located in $SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat/webapps/portalexplorer/WEB-INF/classes.
By default, the domain name in the global.properties.xml file is “sybase.com.” To change the domain for your environment, modify global.properties.xml to use the domain name of the network on which your machine resides. See “Changing the host, domain, and port of the portal”.
From $SYBASE/infoedition,
enter startdb.sh.
This starts the Adaptive Server Anywhere database. You may see several “Ping server failed – Database server not found” messages. You can disregard these messages.
When the database starts, you see “Ping server successful.”
Enter starttomcat.sh.
When Tomcat starts, you see:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /$SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /$SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /$SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat /temp Using JAVA_HOME: ./jdk1.4
The EP installation is complete. See “Verifying the installation” to make sure the network installation works correctly.
If you cannot connect to the Portal Interface or Web Studio, go to $SYBASE/infoedition/tomcat/logs and check the catalina.out file for errors.
