When you install the web access server and the web access
broker on Linux or Solaris,
you must install as the root user. To install the
web access server and the web access broker on different machines,
repeat the instructions on each machine.
About this task
The Rational®
DOORS® Web Access broker is the component that enables
the exchange of messages between the Apache Tomcat and interoperation servers.
To perform a
silent installation, see Silently installing the Rational DOORS Web Access server.
Procedure
- Go to the directory where you saved the installation file
and run it. Files are automatically extracted, and the
installation procedure begins.
- Follow the prompts to install the web access server and
the web access broker.
- 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: 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, you must run a recursive chown command on
the files from the root of the Rational DOORS Web Access directory. For
example:
chown -R user:group DWA_home
