Setting up DHIS 2 on Ubuntu 8.10

 

I have been setting up the DHIS 2 application and development environment on
Ubuntu 8.10 in order to test things properly in a linux environment as well.
Just wanted to share the experience which has been really convenient and
nice: Almost everything you need can be found in the Synaptic Package
manager, just go there, search for and install:

- maven2
- bzr
- eclipse
- postgresql
- mysql-server

Firefox is already installed. The only hickup was Tomcat, which version in
the package repo is just broken. Just install the one from the official site
instead:

- Download manually from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi and put
anywhere, eg /usr/local/tomcat6.
- Put the attached tomcat file in /etc/init.d/, chmod 755 it, then start
with /etc/init.d/tomcat start
