Install

There are two ways to get gnuMims running:

1. Download the war file and deploy to a Java Servlet (see bellow).
2. Download the source code, build and run with Grails.

Note: there is an online ​Demo

Requirements

• Java servlet, we currently use tomcat5.5.
• Sun java sdk, we currently use "1.5.0_17" (Debian Lenny: sun-java5-jdk).
• Database
  • The war is built to use an in memory database (hsqldb), this will NOT save data between restarts!
  • Most databases can be used, we currently use MySQL (Debian Lenny: mysql-server-5.0)
• See the the DeveloperStartPage if you want to build a custom war.

Steps

• Copy the war file into the [$TOMCAT_HOME]/webapps folder or choose to upload through the Tomcat online console.
• Point your web browser to http://localhost:8180/gnuMims/ or http://myserver:port/gnuMims .
• Sign on with the user name "admin" and password "pass"
• Start using gnuMims.

Tomcat

• In Debian add/adjust the following lines in /etc/default/tomcat5.5:
  • JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/
  • JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx256M"
  • TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no
• Note: the above security settings should not be used in production, see ​http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/security-manager-howto.html
