d3 Quick Installation Guide

Configure Tomcat.

This is a simple installation, for more complex configuration options (f.i. configuring virtual hosts, integrating with apache, etc.) please refer to Tomcat documentation.

• Open TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml

  • Locate the non ssl http connector declaration :

    <!– Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 –>

• Edit the connector port to your convenience

• Configure compression: Add the following attributes to the Connector element

  compression="on"
  compressionMinSize="2048"
  noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
  compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/javascript,application/x-javascript,application/javascript"
  

• Once done the Connector declaration will somewhat look similar to:

  <Connector port="8080"
             maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
             maxThreads="150"
             minSpareThreads="25"
             maxSpareThreads="75"
             enableLookups="false"
             redirectPort="8443"
             acceptCount="100"
             connectionTimeout="20000"
             disableUploadTimeout="true"
             compression="on"
             compressionMinSize="2048"
             noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
             compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/javascript,application/x-javascript,application/javascript"
          />
  

  You may need to restart Tomcat for the changes to be applied.

Create a jdbc.properties file in USER_HOME/.d3. This file defines d3 datasource. It should contain the following lines:

jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.host=<<edit to your convenience>>
jdbc.port=<<edit to your convenience>>
jdbc.database=<<edit to your convenience>>
jdbc.username=<<edit to your convenience>>
jdbc.password=<<edit to your convenience>>

Note that the database must exist prior to starting d3.

Copy d3.war to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/d3.war

Tomcat will then deploy d3, and once done you will be able to access d3 through http://localhost:8080/d3
