Installing XSM

4 - Deploying

The xsm-web.war file should be copied into your servlet contaners (e.g. tomcat) webapps directory.

Your servlet container must not run xsm directly from the war file, but expand it (which is the default)

The directory "xsm/custom" must be writable by the servlet container. If your container is running as root in a secure environment this may not be the default setup.

If necessary you can use this script to deploy the context and ensure the correct permissions:

#!/bin/sh
cd /var/lib/tomcat4/webapps
/etc/init.d/tomcat4 stop

rm -r xsm
mkdir xsm
cd xsm
cp ../xsm.war .
unzip xsm.war > /dev/null
rm xsm.war
chown -R tomcat4 custom
cd ../
/etc/init.d/tomcat4 start
