Installation instructions

Installation prerequisites:
You will need to know what operating system your Voyager Server is on.
(Windows or Solaris)
Java jdk 1.5 installed on Voyager Server. Download it here.https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=java_ee_sdk-5_01-oth-JPR%40CDS-CDS_Developer

Install Tomcat 6. You can download it fromhttp://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi

Installing:

Install directories: (We run solaris at WSU so all of instructions are
for UNIX environments)
All text with a "prompt>" at the beginning of the line are unix commands

Java install directory (will now be referred to as JAVA_HOME)
/usr/java/jdk/jdk-1.5_10 (the last two digits may vary)

#As a privileged user (root) make the directory if it does not exist and
move the downloaded file to said directory.

#make the downloaded java file executable and execute

#follow the on screen instructions.

1. After java 1.5 is installed Edit the ~/.profile file add the line:

Install tomcat

Tomcat install directory (will now be referred to as CATALINA_HOME)
/m1/shared/tomcat6

Configuring Tomcat:
Create an initiation script for stopping and starting tomcat

Copy text between the "cut" tags and paste it in the new init script.
Note that you will have to change the JAVA_HOME variable to where your
JAVA_HOME is (in this example /usr/java/jdk/jdk-1.5_10)

#Make the script executable.

And now finally installing dynamic maps:

Be sure your .profile is set up to use java.
prompt> vi ~/.profile
#Look for a line like JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk/jdk-1.5.0_10
#and
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/local/sbin:
$PATH

Download Dynamic Maps (link above)
Then do the folling:

#this will create a directory called libmaps-0.1.2 change the name to
#something more intuitive like "maps"

1. restart tomcat

If all went well you should be able to use a web browser and navigate tohttp://voyager.yourschool.edu:8080/maps/admin
and there you will be able to login as "mapadmin" with the password
"changeme"
>From there you will need to edit your system information under the
system link
data base server
data base port
data base SID
oracle user
oracle user password
smtp server

The google maps key is some thing you need to set up with google. You
have to register with your server with google and they give you a "key"
that you paste in the google maps key text field

After you have made all the changes you need then click save.

Adding a map:

Click on maps click add new map fill out the fields and upload a map
image.

Testing
if you click on test and inter in a Bib ID you can see if its working.
