This is short list of the major steps to do when installing Gentics Portal.Node. Refer to the next chapter for detailed instructions.
Extract
gentics-portalnode-3-sharedlibs.zip
to
${catalina.home}/shared/lib/
.
The libraries found in the directory ${catalina.home}/shared/lib/endorsed/
define APIs which possibly also exist in the JVM in other versions. Therefore those libraries need to override the JVM APIs to avoid version conflicts.
This can be achieved in one of the two possible ways:
$JAVA_ENDORSED_DIR
to point to the directory ${catalina.home}/shared/lib/endorsed/
.
Copy gentics/
to
${catalina.home}/conf/
.
Finish application server configuration:
manager user in tomcat and portalconfiguration
emptySessionPath="true" in connector config (server.xml) for Apache Tomcat 6 or sessionCookiePath="/" in global context configuration (context.xml) for Apache Tomcat 7+
JVM memory in startup scripts
Deploy Portal.Node.war
.
(Optionally) deploy GenticsImageStore.war
.
Open
http://[hostname]/Portal.Node/
in your
browser.
Follow the instructions to activate the portal by downloading
license.key
file.
