Applications Needed

Apache Tomcat 5.5.26. You also need to download a org.postgresql.Driver (download jdbc driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/).

Install the GS Portal

You may want to follow instructions from http://www.gridsphere.org/

You should also place the required JDBC driver jar file in the $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory of Tomcat.


First Run Of the Portal

GS will ask you to decide which database you want to make it using. D4Science is going to use a centralized PostgreSQL DB. Ask me directly for its location and connection data.

Changing Gridsphere DB Location once portal is installed

You should stop Tomcat, change the file located in $portaluser/.gridsphere/database/hibernate.properties Startup Tomcat

For info on the Authorative LDAP DB please refer to the next section in this guide.
