5 AHM -2-4 Sept 2003 e-Science Centre Installing SRB using install.pl script This script enables a basic installation of Postgres enabled SRB. Configures postgres Builds Postgres, Postgres-ODBC & SRB Initializes the Database Ingests MCAT tables Updates configuration Files Provides access to local disk space as an SRB resource

6 AHM -2-4 Sept 2003 e-Science Centre Installing SRB using install.pl script 2 Copy PostgreSql, Postgre-ODBC, SRB tar and install.pl to a new directory # cp install.pl /srb # cp postgresql tar.gz /srb # cp psqlodbc tar.gz /srb # cp SRB2_1_2_n_patch.tar /srb Edit first few lines of install.pl. This script will then install each package under this current directory as well as the storage area. This script can then be used to start/stop postgres and SRB servers and to view the list of running processes

8 AHM -2-4 Sept 2003 e-Science Centre Starting installation To Start installation # /srbusr/srb/install.pl Some minor issues with the script and its workaround It requires postgresql tar file as postgresql tar without the letters ‘base’ as it expects installation dir name to be same as tar file name. Some source files expect java to be located at /usr/local/apps/jdk1.4.1/bin – Hence softlinks may need to be created Keep the Srb Admin name same as unix account eg srbusr
