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
