Manual installation/Drop-In - Preferred

Most of the work is in the configure page, for installation.

• Take the war file and rename it if you do not like the name (be sure to keep the .war ending). Typical names are "astrogrid-community.war" or "community.war"
• Now simply drop it into the webapps directory under where your tomcat is installed.
• Tomcat by default should unpack the war file into a directory in that webapps directory. Directory Name should be the same as the war file minus the ".war" part.
• Your done Read "Database" section below; then go to Configuration.
• If it does not unpack it then you may have it turned off in your tomcat. This will require you to deploy it through the tomcat manager.
• Go to your tomcat manager and login. A link is found at the main tomcat page example if tomcat is on the local/same machine with default port set: http://localhost:8080
• If you relize you don't know how to login, then you will need to view a particular file located where you installed tomcat at: {tomcat install}/conf/tomcat-users.xml
• Unless your admin has setup tomcat to run on ldap or relational db for users; then this file should give you the username, password, and there roles for logging in.
• If this is a brand new tomcat then you will need to make a "manager" role and add it to a user or create a user in this file. You should go ahead and add a "admin" as well for configuration purposes later.
