perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Vlada Macek <>]

Hi,

I'm about to write a C client using the LookupService. I thought it's
best to install the service on my workstation (Debian Linux Sarge with
sun-j2sdk1.5).

In case there is some running LS instance out there that I could use as
a sandbox for client development, please let me know.

I'm not familiar with Ant and Tomcat and run into the installation problem.

I followed
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Installation_LS_1.1, just
not as root. I found no 'root required' in the doc and I didn't see the
reason why it must be root in these first stages.

    cd /home/tuttle/tuttle/tmp
    wget
    http://wiki.perfsonar.net/images/files/perfSONAR-XML-LS-1.1-RC1.tar.gz
    tar -xzf perfSONAR-XML-LS-1.1-RC1.tar.gz
    cd perfSONAR-XML-LS-1.1-RC1/ant
    ant -f build-xmlls.xml pre-install

    ... some lines omitted ...
    confirm-inputs:
         [echo]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
         [echo] Your settings:
         [echo]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
         [echo] Tomcat home directory [/home/tuttle/tmp/tomcat_ls]
         [echo] Service address [http://puk.doma.cz:8080/LookupService]
        [input] Proceed with these settings? (y,n)
    y

At first it fails when there is no /tmp/temp. Why it is not created
automatically? Manual mkdir fixes it. When I rerun pre-install, it fails
again. The output tail:

    Use a fileset to copy directories.

    Total time: 3 minutes 14 seconds


What can I do with it, please? If the problems are in the package, then
I'm surprised it's called a Release Candidate.

Please tell me how to fix it. Thanks in advance.
