Thalia has three layers: database layer, repository (alfresco) layer, and web server layer.

Setting up the database layer:

Configure a MySQL server as described in the MySQL instructions.  Make sure it supports utf-8.

Setting up the alfresco layer:

  •  Configure an Alfresco server without WCM components, as described in the
        Alfresco instructions. 
  • start alfresco
  • download the thalia customization files from USERNAME@svn.mit.edu/zest/thalia/ime/Trunk/thalia-utils/scripts/setupalfresco and run the install.pl file. It will create the thalia admin and guest users, change the default admin password for security, stop alfresco, copy thalia specific configuration files, and restart alfresco.

Setting up the web server layer (IME and UI):

  •   Configure an Apache SSL/Tomcat server as described in the Apache-SSL
        instructions.  Extra care must be
        given to certificates and wildcard DNS entries.
  •  set up ImageMagick 6.3.9
    • go to www.imagemagick.org and get the source distribution:ImageMagick-6.3.2-9.tar.gz
    • unzip and unstar ImageMagick-6.3.9.tar.gz and cd to ImageMagic-6.3.9 directory
    • by default, the base installation directory is /usr/local. binary files go in /usr/local/bin and library files go in /usr/local/lib. If you want to specify an installationprefix other than /usr/local, you can do it by specify the --prefix=PATH in step 6d.
    • ./configure (specify the path here if necessary. Please note that the binary files should be in the system path)
    • make; make install
    • for more info, please refer to the Install-unix.txt in the package
    • after installation, you should be able to type "convert" command and get the help page.
  • Set up Install openLazlo servlet 4.0.2 version
    • Get the 4.0.2 version going to http://www.openlaszlo.org/archive. Choose the Servlet for 4.0.2.
    • Can be installed via tomcat manager
    • LPS_HOME must be set as an environment variable, so that the compiler can run. LPS_HOME should be set to the directory where the servlet was installed,
      e.g. /home/apache-5.5.23/webapps/openlaszlo-4.0.2-servlet
    • For some reason, the compiler script (a file called lzc) is not executable when installed. It needs to be made executable by going into
      $LPS_HOME/WEB-INF/lps/server/bin and chmod 755 lzc.
  • download the thalia customization files from USERNAME@svn.mit.edu/zest/thalia/ime/Trunk/thalia-utils/scripts/setupthalia and run ithe nstall.pl file. It will create some directories that Thalia depends on and copy thalia specific configuration files.
  • Deploy the thalia war file.
  • No labels
