Installing the Linux Tomcat bundle

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

The Studio Tomcat bundle download for Linux contains the following files:

To install the Studio Linux Tomcat bundle:

  1. Extract EID_3.1.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/3.1.0/ to extract the file into.

  2. Extract the .war files from EID_3.1.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 hooks and layouts required by the portal. It is safe to overwrite these files with the versions in EID_3.1.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-6.0.37/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/eid) in your browser. Log in using the following default credentials:
    Field Value
    Login: admin@oracle.com
    Password: Welcome123
    You are immediately prompted to change the password. The new password must contain:
    • At least 6 characters
    • At least one non-alphabetic character
  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 Studio Administration and Customization Guide.
