NovaForge installation directories structure: The structure of the installation directories is the following one: /home/novaforge is the NovaForge home directory. It will be represented with the environment variable NOVAFORGE_HOME. $NOVAFORGE_HOME/databases is the root directory of mysql database. $NOVAFORGE_HOME/engines is the root directory of installed softwares: Ant, Maven and Tomcat. $NOVAFORGE_HOME/data is the root directory for the data. This directory will hold the Archiva repositories and the Hudson jobs. $NOVAFORGE_HOME/novaforge-tomcat is the directory where NovaForge WebOS will be installed. It is also represented with environment variable CATALINA_BASE since it is an instance of Tomcat, while CATALINA_HOME will refer to the installation of Tomcat ($NOVAFORGE_HOME/engines/apache/tomcat/6.0.14) $NOVAFORGE_HOME/cfg is the directory where you will find the configuration file of NovaForge WebOS: novaforge.properties. This file enables the administrator to configure some properties of NovaForge WebOS (typically some paths or url). Page 4/15

5 3. Automatic Installation instructions The installation is automatised based on ant script. Novaforge can be installed on Windows or on Linux environment Prerequisites It is necessary to have a JDK 1.5 installed on your PC or on the server. If it is not the case you will find a JDK after the checkout of the products in the NovaForge JDK/1.5 directory. The second prerequisite is to have the NovaForge CD or a SVN client as Tortoise. We describe in the next chapter how to checkout the novaforge products with the tortoise client Checkout the novaforge deliveries products All the products are on the novaforge subversion server. Firstly you can install the client svn product on your PC. You can use Tortoise provided in the delivery root directory on the NovaForge subversion. With Tortoise you will be able to check out the novaforge products. To install Tortoise, download it on the NovaForgeWebOS project or directly from internet msi?download You can install the product following the instructions. To checkout the novaforge products use your windows explorer and right click in the directory you want to checkout the products and use SVN checkout option: Page 5/15

6 Use the url svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/novaforge/delivery/tags/2.2.6 The server will ask a username and password. You can use the user anonymous without password. Page 6/15

7 When you click on OK all the products will be checkout in your directory. If there is a problem during the checkout, thanks to right click in your checkout directory and select SVN Update Use the ant script for the installation Page 7/15

8 The ant script is in the directory novaforgeinstallation. You have to go in this directory and rename the file build.properties.windows or build.properties.unix (choose the right one depending on your platform) into build.properties file. You can modify the default configuration in the build.properties file. By default Mysql will use the port 3361, apache will use the port 8008, tomcat server will use the ports 8080 and In the build.properties file you have to change the property: 1) novaforge.delivery=c:/temp/novaforge/delivery with the right directory where you have checkout the products. 2) novaforge.home= C:/Temp/novaforge with the directory where you want the installer installs NovaForge. NovaForge will be installed in this directory. 3) novaforge.java.home=d:/jdk/jdk1.5.0_15 to the directory where your JDK 1.5 is installed. Don t put any quote or double quote even you have a space in the name. When you have configured these properties you can use the ant.exe file in the directory Delivery/Ant/apache-ant-1.7.0/bin. It is necessary to have a JDK 1.5 installed and the JAVA_HOME environment variable set to this installation. Start a cmd windows and go to the novaforgeinstallation directory. Execute the ant.exe with %Checkoutdirectory%\Delivery\Ant\apache-ant \bin\ant with the target - install_novaforge_windows if you are on windows platform - install_novaforge_linux if you are on Linux platform All the products will be installed automatically. When the installation is finished you can start NovaForge. In your novaforge home directory start novaforge using the file novaforgestart.bat or novaforgestart.sh You can stop NovaForge using novaforgestop.bat or novaforgestop.sh 3.4. Use NovaForge In the cmd windows wait the following log: Page 8/15

9 If you see this log the server is started and you can use NovaForge using the url 4. Automatic Desinstallation instructions Be careful : All your NOVAFORGE_HOME will be deleted!!! Start a cmd windows and go to the novaforgeinstallation directory (in your checkout directory). Execute the ant.exe with %Checkoutdirectory%\Delivery\Ant\apache-ant \bin\ant with the target - uninstall_novaforge_windows if you are on windows environment - uninstall_novaforge_linux if you are on linux environment Be careful to not have some links into the directories having to be deleted. 5. Automatic update instructions Start a cmd windows and go to the novaforgeinstallation directory. Change the parameter novaforge.version to the version you want to install. Execute the ant.exe with %Checkoutdirectory%\Delivery\Ant\apache-ant \bin\ant with the target - update_novaforge_windows if you are on windows environment - update_novaforge_linux if you are on linux environment Page 9/15
