This topic provides instructions for installing the Rational® DOORS® Web Access server and the Rational DOORS Web
Access broker on Solaris and Linux.
Before you begin
Copy the installation file to the machine or machines that
you want to install the web access server and the web access broker
on. To install the web access server and the web access broker on
different machines, repeat the instructions on each machine.
Install
the web access server and the web access broker as the root user.
After the installation the root user owns the files. If you plan to
set up your system so that a user other than the root user owns and
starts Rational DOORS Web Access, see 4.
To
perform a silent installation, see Silent installation of the Rational DOORS Web Access server.
Procedure
- Make the installation file an executable file by running
the following command:
chmod u+x installation_file_name
- Choose the directory where you want to install the files,
and run the installation file. Follow the instructions to install
the files.
- Run the configure-festival.sh script,
which sets the appropriate permissions on the files in the directory
structure and installs the JRE:
bash configure-festival.sh
If
you do not run this script, Rational DOORS Web Access does not start.
Note: The script reports that it is installing JRE. The
installation is local to the current directory and does not affect
any other Java™ installations
on the system.
- Optional: If you plan to set up your system so that a user other than the
root user owns and starts Rational DOORS Web Access, you must run
a recursive chown on the files from the root of the Rational DOORS Web Access directory. For example, run
chown -R user:group.
What to do next
Follow the instructions in
Configuring the components for communication.
