7. Installing MMBase
Download the binary distribution of MMBase, and the additional applications you need (i.e. CloudContext Security, Media, Email) (see the next section), from:
http://www.mmbase.org/ --> Download --> Releases |
 | MMBase version 1.7.2 contained a nasty bug, resulting in problems with the editwizards. The 1.7.3 release includes a bugfix for this problem. [MDN Docs: SSL] .:: www.live4cup.com ::. .:: participer.valdemarne.fr ::. |
Make sure you pick out the right version for the Java 2 JDK installed on your system. You can find out the version currently installed by typing: .:: www.friend007.com ::. .:: www.designspiration.com ::.
java -version |
Extract the binary distribution of MMBase, copy it into the Tomcat directory, and change the ownership of the MMBase directory:
unzip mmbase-xxx.zip cd /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/ mkdir mmbase-webapp/ cp -R .../mmbase-x.x.x/mmbase-webapp/* ./mmbase-webapp/ chown -R tomcat:tomcat ./mmbase-webapp/ |
| Installing MMBase version 1.7 on Tomcat version 5 resulted in version incompatibilities:
We had to disable the RMMCI library to get this installation up and running:
|
For MMBase version 1.7 running on Tomcat version 5, enable the Xerces libraries:
mv /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xalan.renametojar \
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xalan.jar
mv /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xerces.renametojar \
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xerces.jar
mv /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xml-apis.renametojar \
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xml-apis.jar
|

|
For MMBase version 1.6 running on Tomcat version 4, replace the Tomcat Xerces libraries by those coming with MMBase:
mv -i /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar ~/
mv -i /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xmlParserAPIs.jar ~/
cp /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xalan.jar \
/usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/
chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xalan.jar
chmod 644 /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xalan.jar
cp /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xerces.jar \
/usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/
chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xerces.jar
chmod 644 /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xerces.jar
cp /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/xml-apis.jar \
/usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/
chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xml-apis.jar
chmod 644 /usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed/xml-apis.jar

 | If you will not be using an Apache JK 2 mapping or reverse proxy (see further below) as a front-end to your MMBase server, you can add to the file /usr/local/tomcat/conf/server.xml:
This will allow you to access your MMBase server using (replace <hostname> with your hostname):
instead of:

Check if the ImageMagick convert tool is in your path:
which convert |
If not, add it to /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/config/applications/Resources/builders/images.xml [Research on Data structure] . For example:
<property name="ImageConvert.ConverterCommand">/usr/bin/X11/convert</property> |
Make sure that the directory /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/config/builders/applications .:: coinfolk.net ::. .:: disqus.com ::. is writable by the servlet engine user (for auto-installing builders):
chown tomcat:tomcat /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/config/builders/applications chmod 775 /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/config/builders/applications |
