Re: [Dhis-dev] Setting up DHIS 2 on Ubuntu 8.10

 

I have DHIS 2 running on Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10.

Lars recommends to download tomcat from the official tomcat site.

OK. But beaware that for a really heavy production environment you must compile the jsvc as it is documented on $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc.tar.gz file. If you dont you will loose on performance.

For people that prefer to use 8.10 tomcat version... It works too. It sounds little strange to be broken.

One more note: Pay attenyion to apparmor in case you decide to change the database folder of mysql. You must stop it or learn to configure it.

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
