RBE10K/Libreplan/Installation

The installation instructions for Libreplan on Gentoo/Tomcat-7 are the following, based on the instructions found here: http://ask.libreplan.org/questions/564/install-on-gentoo-or-sabayon

Install dependencies

emerge -a commons-dbcp commons-pool tomcat jdbc-postgresql postgresql-server

Create Tomcat instance

/usr/share/tomcat-7/gentoo/tomcat-instance-manager.bash --create

Optionally add --suffix libreplan at the end of the previous statement to create an independent Tomcat-7 installation specific for use with Libreplan. In that case replace any following /var/lib/tomcat-7 with /var/lib/tomcat-7-libreplan.

Add necessary jars

ln -s /usr/share/jdbc-postgresql/lib/jdbc-postgresql.jar /usr/share/tomcat-7/lib/
ln -s /usr/share/commons-dbcp/lib/commons-dbcp.jar /usr/share/tomcat-7/lib/
ln -s /usr/share/commons-pool/lib/commons-pool.jar /usr/share/tomcat-7/lib/

Create the database

su postgres -c psql
CREATE DATABASE libreplan;
CREATE USER libreplan WITH PASSWORD 'libreplan';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE libreplan TO libreplan;

Fetch Libreplan files from its website

Now download the latest libreplan.war and install.sql and rename them to libreplan.war and install.sql.

Install the database

psql -h localhost -U libreplan -W libreplan < install.sql

Install the web application

cp libreplan.war /var/lib/tomcat-7/webapps/

Configure Libreplan

Edit /etc/tomcat-7-libreplan/Catalina/localhost/libreplan.xml and paste this in it:
