To install the Web Survey Daemon on UNIX

1. On a UNIX server, perform the following steps:

   1. Make an installation directory named wsd using the following command:

      mkdir wsd
      

   2. Copy the Web Survey Daemon installation program from the installation media to the directory that you created.

   3. In the Web Survey Daemon installation directory, run the Web Survey Daemon installation program.

2. In the WSD installation directory, open the tomcat-ctl.sh file and, after the line #Execute the bundled (integrated) tomcat,add the following:

   # get the name of this program
   JAVA_HOME=/usr/jre1.5.0_06
   export JAVA_HOME
   

3. Before the text, # get the name of this program, add the following line:

   PROGNAME=`basename $0`
   

4. In the bin directory for the WSD installation, open the setenv.sh file and make sure the path provided for configuration directory is correct. For example:

   CATALINA_OPTS="-Dwebsurvey.configDir=/export/home/qa7/wsd/webapps/websurveys/config"
   

5. Use the CHMOD 777 * command to grant Read, Write, and Execute permissions to all the files in the WSD directory.

6. Configure the WSD. For details, see Configuring the Web Survey Daemon.
