Post-installation setup
Perform these steps after installing Contenta Web.
Procedure
- Upgrade only: If you plan to use the Dynamic Import tool from Contenta Web.
Compare the CustomCallbacks.pm and utils.pm files in the $XYV_PDM_ROOT > encaps/di with the files in the $XYV_PDM_ROOT > encaps/di/ custom directory. If the files differ, make appropriate changes (that is, incorporate customizations in the files in the di/custom directory with changes in the delivered files in the di directory) and save them to the $XYV_PDM_ROOT > encaps/di/custom directory.
- Reboot your system.
Note: You can choose to shut down and reboot the system later, but you must do so before executing Contenta Web Server.
- After rebooting, manually start the Tomcat service.
On Linux, enter the following commands from a terminal window:
- source /disk5/jakarta-tomcat-<version>/bin/tomcat.cshrc
- cd /<directory>/jakarta-tomcat-<version>/work
- rm -rf C*
- cd /<directory>/jakarta-tomcat-<version>/bin
- ./startup.sh
where: <directory> is the path to jakarta-tomcat and <version> is the version (number) of the Tomcat software.
On Windows, enter the following commands from a command window:- Clear the cache (delete the Catalina folder from the work folder).
- Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
- Start the Apache Tomcat service.
- Linux upgrade only: Merge your existing unixuser.dat registry file, located in the $XYV_PDM_ROOT/clients/setup directory with the new one delivered by the installation program to $XYV_PDM_ROOT/distr/clients/setup.
SDL recommends that you merge changes from your existing $XYV_PDM_ROOT/clients/setup/unixuser.dat into $XYV_PDM_ROOT/distr/clients/setup/unixuser.dat and copy the resultant file to the $XYV_PDM_ROOT/clients/setup directory.
Results
Note: The installation program displays error messages in the installation window and records them in the log file, Contenta_home/cw_install.txt.
- Linux startup scripts
The following sample Linux startup scripts, which you can modify for your specific site, are delivered with the Contenta Web software. These scripts are optional and are provided for your convenience. Oracle services must be started before these scripts are executed or the automatic execution of the Contenta Server fails. - Post-installation notes
To ensure your system functions as expected the following are post-installation notes and checks that you should make.
