Libretto

On machine: jre 1.5.06
Attempt to install JDK for J2SE 1.4.2 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

• Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2_14
• Maven 2.0.5 - http://maven.apache.org/download.html

Application Server: Download and install Tomcat 5.5.23

• Ran the windows service installed.
  • Port:9090 admin / adminpwd

Database setup: Already done with Sql Server Express.

• Didn't do this: Making a copy of my current laptop database to [ConfluenceDev]
• Just start with a fresh database
• http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Database+Setup+for+SQL+Server
  • Get jtds from http://jtds.sourceforge.net/

    The standalone download of Confluence has a common/lib off of the ${confluencehome} directory. But the EAR/WAR version doesn't. So where to put the jtds-<version>.jar in the EAR/WAR version? Answer: If you installed the Tomcat 5.5 server, the jtds-<version>.jar goes in the Tomcat installdir/common/lib. Under Windows this might be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-5.5.23\common\lib

Subversion Client: SVN 1.4.3 for windows

IDE Development environment: Atlassian prefers IDEA. So setup IDEA 6.0.5

• Use confluence distribution to create Confluence IDEA project
  • http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/ConfluenceDownloadCenter.jspa - Download latest version, 2.4.5
  • Unzip at C:/projects/confluence-2.4.5.earwar This is ${confhome}

Get Confluence Running Under Tomcat C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\Catalina\localhost - create confluence.xml, settng docBase to ${confhome} <Context path="/confluence" docBase="C:/projects/confluence-2.4.5.earwar/confluence" debug="0" reloadable="true"> <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" prefix="atlassian-confluence." suffix=".log" timestamp="true"/> </Context> Go to http://localhost:9090/confluence to start Tomcat 5.5 running Confluence EAR/WAR version Create [ConfluenceWAR] database in sql server, with Confluence user If copying from previous setup, see Confluencedata/confluence.cfg.xml for database username and password Run: http://localhost:9090/confluence - Follow setup screens

tx1000 setup - With Windows Vista

• Download [NetBeans] IDE + J2SE SDK, powerful IDE J2SE v1.4.2_13 SDK with [NetBeans] 5.0 Bundle
  • http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download-netbeans.html j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-win-ml.exe 131.02MB
• Get Maven 1.0 - http://maven.apache.org/download.html
  • Need to set JAVA_HOME to JDK before installing
• Tomcat 5.5.23 http://www.eng.lsu.edu/mirrors/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.23/apache-tomcat-5.5.23.exe
  • Change service to Automatic - Didn't find a system tray manager for tomcat, like on Windows XP installation
    • When trying to run tomcat5w on Windows Vista, get "Access is denied - Unable to open the service 'tomcat5'
  • A tomcat home page came up at http://127.0.0.1:9090/
• Create fresh sql server database: Confluence_2_5_1, with Confluence user
• Create directory \Confl\earwar\2.5.1
• C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\Catalina\localhost - create confluence.xml, settng docBase to ${confhome}

        <Context path="/confluence251" 
           docBase="C:/confl/earwar/2.5.1/confluence" 
           debug="0" 
           reloadable="true">
        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
           prefix="atlassian-confluence." 
           suffix=".log" 
           timestamp="true"/>
        </Context>
  

• http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Installing+the+Confluence+EAR-WAR+edition
• Install jdk1.5.0_11 - http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
  • JAVA_HOME was c:\j2sdk1.4.2_13 Now: c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.5.0_11
• Argued with tomcat for hours, could not get it to server /confluence251. Suspended the machine, then came back the next day, and the localhost/confluence.xml was gone from file explorer! Couldn't see it with dos either! Yet it was still open in an editor, and saving it would still not making it appear! Actually it happened to be open in two editors, and when saved with one editor, the other editor knew the file had been overwritten on disk. But could not see the file with either DOS prompt DIR or with the Windows Vista File Explorer. Very strange. Uninstalling Tomcat, and reinstalling with all options.
  • Reinstall and select JRE: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11
  • Got error "Failed to install Tomcat5 service. Check your settings and permissions. Ignore and continue anywhay (not recommended)?"
  • Reboot so the old service could be removed, then reinstall with full settings
• Note: The confluence.xml file will cause tomcat to run confluence at http://localhost:9090/confluence regardless of what is configured inside the file for a path. So created a new one c251.xml so http://localhost:9090/c251 - Personal license
• Reinstall the jtds jar in tomcat / common / lib
• Run setup - paste personal license - jdbc direct database connection
• SQL Server Configuration Manager - Need to enable tcp-ip on port 1433
  • Also enabled windows & sql server authentication or you'll get "not associated with a trusted connection" error - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/889615
  • note: SQL username and password in onenote
• Admin: Garnet with standard wiki password.
• Install the bobsgear plugins:
  • Random Content Plugin
  • Amazon Web Services Plugin
  • Content Refactoring Plugin (Set earliest plugin state to include alpha)
• After next reboot, the system tray Tomcat manager failed to control the tomcat service. But the service is running, and Confluence local instance can be activated.
• Install Subversion Client for plugin checkin: SVN 1.4.3 for windows
