TEDDY Installation Instructions

From Developer Community

TEDDY is not trivial to install, but the process isn't too complicated either. Note however, this guide is currently aimed at Unix (Linux, etc) users, so if anyone has experience with Java based server-side applications and wants to write a Windows guide please email me (jasonrbriggs 'at' gmail 'dot' com).

The steps for installation are:

1. download the jetty web server distribution from the following URL:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7322

At time of writing, the latest version is 5.1.4, so in that case you would download the file jetty-5.1.4.zip

2. Install jetty in your directory of choice (I usually extract into /usr/local)

3. copy the teddy distribution into the webapps directory of jetty (you might want to remove anything in that directory that you don't need)

4. extract the contents of the distribution (e.g. tar -xjf teddy-x.x.x.tar.bz2)

5. copy the load.sql file (which you can download from the teddy novell forge site) into the bin directory in WEB-INF, and then change to that directory (cd teddy/WEB-INF/bin)

6. create the database by exec'ing the file create.sql (e.g. ./exec.py create.sql)

7. then load the database by running ./exec.py load.sql

8. change to the jetty's root directory (cd /usr/local/jetty-5.1.4)

9. start the webserver by running: java -jar start.jar
