Newbie Installing under Windows

[Jeff Greenberg <je...@websciences.org>]

I am considering using Slide for the document management portion of a
project my company is currently working on. Having downloaded the latest
source from CVS and having built the project, I noticed that several
directories mentioned in the install and configuration instructions are
empty (most notably, the "server" directory).

Do I need to download a binary distribution first, then install the CVS
version over that? I had tried getting everything to work by downloading and
installing the standalone Tomcat server, but, although Tomcat would work on
its own, once I copied Slide files into the Tomcat directory, it stopped
working all together while giving me a class not found error. Am I missing
something here?

Also, does anyone know if there are issues with installing Slide under
Windows XP? Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply, Andreas. Something must have gone screwy on my first
installation attempt. I will try again.

Hi Jeff,

how did you get the latest? The following commands give you 
Slide 2 (not yet released), around 50 MB:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login
(password: anoncvs)

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout 
jakarta-slide (in one line) 

I don't even have a "server" directory there.
If you do an 
> ant full-dist 
you'll find a slide.war in dist\slide\webapp. Copy this to your 
Tomcat-Installation tomcat/webapps. After restart of Tomcat this 
war gets expanded. You can then configure 
webapps/slide/Domain.xml and webapps/slide/WEB-INF/web.xml. 
Don't forget to edit tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml. 

This is one of the ways to get Slide running. (I haven't got 
experience with the others.)

Hope this helps.

Andreas
