Installing the Linux Tomcat bundle

To install the Tomcat bundle, you extract the Studio application, then add the Studio components.

1. Extract EID_2.4.x_Studio_portal.tgz to the directory of your choice.

   Studio creates a directory called endeca-portal in that directory.

   It is recommended that you create a directory Oracle/Endeca/Discovery/2.4.x/ to extract the file into.

2. Extract the .war files from EID_2.4.x_Studio_components.zip and place them into the endeca-portal/deploy directory. The .war files go in the root of endeca-portal/deploy. There should be no subdirectories.
   Note: This directory already contains themes, hooks, and layouts required by the portal. It is safe to overwrite these files with the versions in EID_2.4.x_Studio_components.zip.
3. If the environment variable CATALINA_HOME is already set, update it to point to your newly installed Tomcat directory.
4. Make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to point to a valid 1.6 JRE.
5. To start the portal's Tomcat instance, run endeca-portal/tomcat-6.0.35/bin/startup.sh.
   Note: Server startup can take several minutes. You can follow the log messages to ascertain when the process is complete.
6. To test that the application is running, go to the portal (http://localhost:8080/) in your browser. Log in using the following default credentials:

   Field	Value
   Login:	admin@oracle.com
   Password:	admin

   For better security, after logging in for the first time, you should probably either:

   • Change the password for this user
   • Create new administrative users for your instance, and then remove this user
7. Optionally, you can set up log4j logging. log4j provides configurable, Java-based logging in an open-source utility.
   Note: For more information about Studio logging, see the Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Studio User's Guide.
