To add what Jack just said, more specifically, we should add a disclaimer at the end of the first paragraph of that section of the install guide.  Something like this should work: "Note: this program has been customized to install the COSMOS web applications into the Tomcat web server.  If you are using any other web server, you will need to modify this program or install the demo manually."

Also, based on what Jack said, we should probably update the install script as well to output the same sort of disclaimer to the console.  That would require someone technical to make that change and would of course mean that a rebuild would be necessary (which will likely be true anyway for making the logging data manager changes we've discussed).

I moved this part of the work effort to bug 252377.

cosmosdemosetup.html has been updated with this info (see the note after the first paragraph).

Included David's comments re: Tomcat.

Comment 8 David Whiteman 2008-10-28 16:36:57 EDT

Hi Pam... the note looks great!  Since we are now no longer "hiding" that the script works with Tomcat, we should change the first item:

"<web-server-dir>: Web Server install directory
Note: The directory where the web server is installed is referred to as <web-server-dir> in this document."

To:

"tomcatDir: Apache Tomcat install directory"

and change the "<web-server-dir>" references back to "apache-tomcat-5.5.25".

Also, please remove the "i14/" from all occurrences.  For example "/cosmos/i14/birt-runtime-2_3_0.zip" should instead be "/cosmos/birt-runtime-2_3_0.zip" in the example output.

Thanks!
