Prerequisites

  • Download and install
    • JVM >= 1.5
    • Apache Tomcat >= 5.5.13 (Tested with 5.5.25, 5.5.12 is known not to work!)
    • PostgreSQL 8.1 / 8.2


Download the Web-Archive

Download the current War-Package (ending ".war") of the kaliko-server.


Install the Web-Archive

The calendar server runs embedded in a Tomcat. The server is tested with Tomcat 5.5. The installation is proceeded by copying the .war-file in the Tomcat's folder "webapps". The Tomcat unpacks the .war-file automatically in the folder "webapp" in a new subfolder.


Configuring a PostgreSQL-DB

A PostgerSQL is needed. Kaliko server has been tested with PostgeSQL 8.1 and 8.2. An SQL script that creates the database can be found in the project's folder: src/db/scripts/create_calendar.sql (Download latest version from repository). The first command in this script (CREATE LANGUAGE) needs superuser rights and should therefore be performed separately.


Configuring the kaliko server

  • General Configuration
    The central configurationfile of the calendar lies in this folder under "OCTOPUS/custom_parameters.xml". The access data to the database needs to be stored here in the part "dbConfig" (database name, server name, user, password).
  • Authentication
    • Simple Text-File-Authentication
      Currenly not implemented.
    • LDAP Authentication
      See LDAP Configuration.


Starting tomcat

The Tomcat just needs to be started.
