[mir-coders] mir + kaffe

[grok at no-log.org]

Hi,

I just installed mir on  a clean, freshly installed, debian (testing),
without the sun sdk.  Mir seems to work fine with kaffe. I didn't test
extensivelly... just made sure it was up and running.

Here's  a   raw  description   of  how  I   got  it   working  (fairly
straightforward).

Cheers,

Grok.

*** install postgres
***************************************************
sudo apt-get install postgresql
change first three lines in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf :
(password instead of "ident sameuser")
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets
local   all         postgres                                        password
#
# All other connections by UNIX sockets
local   all         all                                             password
#
# All IPv4 connections from localhost
host    all         all         127.0.0.1         255.255.255.255   password


sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart

sudo su postgres
psql template1
alter user postgres with password 'xxxxxxx';



***************************************************
*** install tomcat
***************************************************
you have to have "contrib" in your apt sources 
sudo apt-get install jikes-kaffe tomcat4 tomcat4-admin tomcat4-webapps
sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat4 restart
- check tomcat logs in /var/lib/tomcat4/logs for errors

xxx problem because of missing webaps, or missing apache?
