IntegraTUM WebDisk on RHEL 5.3 x64 using Tomcat 5.5.28

WebDisk lets you push CIFS to HTTP via an application server.

Here's an example install on RHEL 5.3 x64 / Tomcat using Sun Java JDK.

Instalation is very much identical on Windows (Replace with C:/tmp/webdisk for example).

In this example we assume an application server gets installed on 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.2 is the CIFS server.

Create the tomcat users:

useradd tomcat

passwd tomcat

su - tomcat

Download and unpack tomcat:

wget http://apache.mirrors.evolva.ro/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.28/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.28.tar.gz

gtar zxvf apache-tomcat-5.5.28.tar.gz

Add the tomcat manager role (replace with your password).

ed apache-tomcat-5.5.28/conf/tomcat-users.xml

27i

Add the following roles (inside tags of course):

role rolename="manager"

user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager"

Setup Java

Download and innstall Java (if not installed) - Java SE Development Kit 6u16 from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

chmod +x jdk-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin

su -c ./jdk-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin

rpm -ql jdk-1.6.0_16-fcs | grep bin

echo "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16" >> ~/.bashrc

. ~/.bashrc

echo $JAVA_HOME

/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16

Start TomCat:

./startup.sh

http://192.168.1.4:8080/

Login: tomcat:tomcat

Install IntegraTUM WebDisk

cd ~

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webdisk/webdisk/0.44/IntegraTUM_WebDisk_0.44.tar.gz

gtar zxvf IntegraTUM_WebDisk_0.44.tar.gz

mv IntegraTUM_WebDisk_0.44 ~/ba

Create ba.xml:

ed ~/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/ba.xml

Create web.xml:

cd /home/tomcat/ba/webapp/WEB-INF/

cp web_default.xml web.xml

ed web.xml

1,$s/YOUR_SERVER_IP/192.168.1.2/g

Create /tmp/webdisk:

mkdir /tmp/webdisk

chmod 777 /tmp/webdisk/

Restart Tomcat:

cd ~/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/bin/

./shutdown.sh

./startup.sh

You should now see ba Display Name: IntegraTUM WebDisk in http://192.168.1.4:8080/manager. Make sure it's started.

Access your application: http://192.168.1.4:8080/ba/base/

You login with the username / passsword on the CIFS server OS. Make sure a "username" folder is shared.
