Barracuda DiscRack - Setup & Installation
barracuda.gif (11456 bytes)This document describes how to setup and install the Barracuda Disc Rack application.

Notes:

  • Tomcat - Barracuda 1.2.5 and XMLC 2.2 have been fully tested and verified to run under Tomcat 4.1.xx and 5.x.xx. You should use the latest release version which , as of 2003/08/12 is Tomcat-4.1.27.

  • Enhydra - Barracuda 1.2.5 and XMLC 2.2 have not been tested to run under Enhydra. Your best bet is to use Enhydra 5.x.x, but I can provide no guarantees. If you want to contribute to this project by documenting how to get Barracuda 1.2.5 and XMLC 2.2 applications running under Enhydra, please post a message to the Barracuda user list.

Installation:

  1. Download and unpack the latest BarracudaDiscRack release at http://barracudamvc.org/downloads/.

  2. See the building and deploying documentation for Barracuda. If you run through the instructions listed there, you can be assured that your environment is set up to deploy BarracudaDiscRack as well.

  3. Make sure Tomcat is started and type "ant catalina-install", then browse to... http://localhost:8080/BarracudaDiscRack/

  4. If you decide to deploy DiscRack as a .war, you can do one of two things...

    • run "ant catalina-deploy" which will deploy BarracudaDiscRack.war to the server specified in the manager.url property in build.properties under Barracuda/src (by default, this is http://localhost:8080/manager).
    • OR run "ant war", then grab the copy of BarracudaDiscRack.war from BarracudaDiscRack/WEB-INF/$tmp which you can drop into any server you like for deployment. Note that if you choose this path for deployment, and you are deploying to a different server than the current one, you may need to first edit BarracudaDiscRack/WEB-INF/discRack.conf (generated automatically from sample.discRack.conf) and change lines 107 and 108 to point to the location of the IDB database.
