Details

Log into the server 162.243.215.76 (mapping.ihtsdotools.org)
1. You'll need the ihtsdo user password.

Install and configure software as root (nginx, tomcat7, libapache2_mod_jk, mysql-server-5.5, maven, git, svn, etc)

You'll need the root user password
Edit the /etc/init.d script to comment out the top part that forces running as root

Edit the /etc/init.d script to use this:

CATALINA_PID="/var/lib/tomcat7/$NAME.pid"

Set permissions of the tomcat installation to the "ihtsdo" user

 
chown -R ihtsdo /var/log/tomcat7
chgrp -R ihtsdo /var/log/tomcat7
chown -R ihtsdo /var/cache/tomcat7
chgrp -R ihtsdo /var/cache/tomcat7
chown -R ihtsdo  /var/lib/tomcat7
chgrp -R ihtsdo  /var/lib/tomcat7

Edit /etc/init.d/tomcat7 to use the following
* TOMCAT7_USER=ihtsdo
* TOMCAT7_GROUP=ihtsdo

Edit /etc/default/tomcat7 
* TOMCAT7_USER=ihtsdo
* TOMCAT7_GROUP=ihtsdo
** This must be done while tomcat is NOT running.

See ~root/README.txt

Tomcat must be configured to pass "run.config" environment variable to the application
1. One way to do this is to invoke the java command with -Drun.config=/home/ihtsdo/data/config.properties
  (e.g. edit this in /etc/init.d/tomcat7 and add to JAVA_OPTS)
2. Also add -Xmx2500M to JAVA_OPTS in the tomcat startup script.
3. NOTE: development environments must also be configured as such
Tomcat must be configured to support POST requests of size > 2MB
1. Edit server.xml and add maxPostSize="50000000" to each <Connector> element.
Tomcat must be configured to support following of links. Make sure any Context tags in the configuration contain allowLinking="true".
1. Edit context.xml to add this parameter to the Context tag.
Make sure you have MAVEN_OPTS set
1. e.g. -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx3072m
Nginx Configuration
1. Install the SSL keys as root in the appropriate places
2. Edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/mapping.ihtsdotools.org (see the webapp/src/main/nginx directory for configurations).
3. Link /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/mapping.ihtsdotools.org to the file above
4. Add a Valve to tomcat to handle proxy headers.
5. Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and add "client_max_body_size 50M;" to the "http" context.
6. See the attachment for more details
MySQL Configuration
1. When configuring the database URL in config.properties, use ?autoconnect=true to avoid connection issues
2. Also (as root) edit the my.cnf file for your platform and add this to the mysqld section.
```
[mysqld]
...
wait_timeout = 230400
interactive_timeout = 230400
```

As the MySQL root user, create an OTF user with the mysql client

CREATE USER 'otf'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'otfpwd';
GRANT ALL privileges ON *.* TO 'otf'@'localhost';

As the MySQL root user, create a database in the mysql client

CREATE DATABASE mappingservicedb
  DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
  DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
CREATE DATABASE mappingservicedbtest
  DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8
  DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANT ALL ON mappingservicedb.* TO 'otf';
GRANT ALL ON mappingservicedbtest.* TO 'otf';

Get code

cd
mkdir code
cd code
git clone https://github.com/WestCoastInformatics/OTF-Mapping-Service.git .

# switch to dev branch - for UAT
git checkout develop

# switch to dev branch - for PROD
git checkout master

mvn -DskipTests=true -Dbuild.config=~/config/config.properties clean install

Get data.

# Use your collabnet username below
set username = <your collabnet username>
cd
mkdir data
git clone ssh://$username@csfe.aceworkspace.net:29418/mapping data
# set up doc directories, for uploading mapping handbook files
mkdir data/doc
mkdir data/doc/archive
chmod -R ga+rwx data/doc

Prepare indexes to be maintainable by ihtsdo user.

# To clean up the indexes do this (as root)
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes
mkdir /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes
mkdir /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes/lucene
mkdir /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes/lucene/indexes
chmod -R ga+rwx /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes
chown -R ihtsdo /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes
chgrp -R ihtsdo /var/lib/tomcat7/indexes

Create a config.properties file by starting with one of those in the config project. Edit the file as needed

cp ~/code/config/src/main/resources/config.properties.prod ~/config/config.properties

# Ensure the config.properties file used to run the application has this setting
hibernate.search.default.indexBase=/var/lib/tomcat7/indexes/lucene/indexes

Create database and load the data

cd ~/code/admin/loader/scripts
load_prod.csh >&! load_prod.log

Stop tomcat, clear cache,and remove the currently deployed .war files (and associated folders).

# Stop the tomcat7 server
service tomcat7 stop
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/work/Catalina/localhost/mapping-rest
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/mapping-rest
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/mapping-rest.war
/bin/rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT.war

Update the database (this needs to go into the reload page):

mvn clean install -Drun.config=/home/ihtsdo/config/config.properties -Dhibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=update

Update file modification date to prevent caching issues.

cd ~/code
set date = `date +%Y%m%d%H%M`
touch -t $date `find . -name "*"`

Build Rest and deploy war

/bin/cp -f ~/code/rest/target/mapping-rest*war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/mapping-rest.war

Deploy Webapp war

/bin/cp -f ~/code/webapp/target/mapping-webapp*war /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT.war

Start service and link "doc" directory.

service tomcat7 start

# wait for deploy to create the ROOT directory
sleep 10
# link doc directory
cd /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT
ln -s /home/ihtsdo/data/doc

NOW, if deploying to PROD, create a github pull request.
