Install Guide on Linux
DigDash Enterprise installation can be done in two different ways on Linux:
- Use the Tomcat application server included in the DigDash Enterprise install archive
- Use another Tomcat or a JEE compatible application server.
This document describe how to use the Tomcat server included with DigDash Enterprise and also how to install/use another Tomcat server.
To install on Windows, read document install_guide_windows.
To update an existing install, read document upgradeDDE.
Use Tomcat Included in DigDash
Unzipping
Unzip the archive file install_dd_20xx.zip in the folder of your choice, preferably /user/share/install_dd_20xx.zip.
Owner And Rights
Give the ownership of the folder /usr/share/install_dd_20xx to the user <USER> of your choice, and give him the rights to read and write to this folder using the following command :
USER@domain:~# chown –R USER /usr/share/install_dd_20xx
USER@domain:~# chmod –R 755 /usr/share/install_dd_20xx
Start Tomcat
With your user <USER> run the Tomcat startup script :
USER@domain:~# cd /usr/share/install_dd_20xx/apache-tomcat/bin/
USER@domain:~# sh startup.sh
Using your own TOMCAT SERVER
If you want to configure your own Tomcat server (existing or not), you can configure it by following the steps below:
Tomcat7 Installation
If you do not already have a Tomcat server installed on the system.
Enter the command:
root@domain:~# apt-get install tomcat7
Copy The Web Applications To Tomcat
Extract WAR files from the DigDash Enterprise archive zip file (install_dd_20xx/apache-tomcat/webapps/) :
- adminconsole.war
- ddenterpriseapi.war
- digdash_dashboard.war
- adswrapper.war
- « ROOT » folder if it does not already exist in your Tomcat.
If you do not copy the ROOT folder, DigDash can be accessed at URL http://localhost:8080/adminconsole but not at http://localhost:8080
Copy these files to the Tomcat folder /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps.
Make sure the user tomcat7 has the right to read and write on these four files.
