Prodromos,
This is a long standing issue for perfSONAR and it has been raised a
lot times in the past. But to be honest I'm not sure this will change
soon.

The process should be automated, I think it is required by the Release
Management Team, and in any case the script should have asked for
eXist location. It's been a while since I have installed  LS and I'm
not sure what the installation script asks the user. I think the
script also asks for the user to choose between exsit standalone and
embedded in Tomcat. From your commends I suppose you chose standalone.
I think it would be easier for you, since your a new comer to use
embedded exist,  and don't worry about ports and so on and also it
will save you some time. In any case you should report any bugs or
insufficiencies in the installation procedure(and off course for the
service in general) to the developer of the service, which is Maciej
Glowiak -on the cc list-(Its my mistake I haven't told you the name of
the person responsible for the service), so you can get some
assistance and also report any bugs in Bugzilla
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Bugzilla_details .

You can find contact information for any one in the project in
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/PerfSONAR_Contacts (You
should also add your won contact information :-) ).
