Installing the web access server and the web access broker

This topic provides instructions for installing the Rational® DOORS® Web Access server and the Rational DOORS Web Access broker on Solaris and Linux.

Before you begin

Copy the installation file to the machine or machines that you want to install the web access server and the web access broker on. To install the web access server and the web access broker on different machines, repeat the instructions on each machine.

Install the web access server and the web access broker as the root user. After the installation the root user owns the files. If you plan to set up your system so that a user other than the root user owns and starts Rational DOORS Web Access, see 4.

To perform a silent installation, see Silent installation of the Rational DOORS Web Access server.

Procedure

  1. Make the installation file an executable file by running the following command:
    chmod u+x installation_file_name
  2. Choose the directory where you want to install the files, and run the installation file. Follow the instructions to install the files.
  3. Run the configure-festival.sh script, which sets the appropriate permissions on the files in the directory structure and installs the JRE:
    bash configure-festival.sh

    If you do not run this script, Rational DOORS Web Access does not start.

    Note: The script reports that it is installing JRE. The installation is local to the current directory and does not affect any other Java™ installations on the system.
  4. Optional: If you plan to set up your system so that a user other than the root user owns and starts Rational DOORS Web Access, you must run a recursive chown on the files from the root of the Rational DOORS Web Access directory. For example, run chown -R user:group.

What to do next

Follow the instructions in Configuring the components for communication.
