Rooster Step Document for installing Java, Tomcat5.

5,Mysql5 And Rooster Application for Windows OS Step document to install Java in Windows OS
To compile and run a java program we need to install java platform. JDK (Java Development Kit). JDK is the basic set of tools required to compile and run java programs. This section enables you to download JDK and teaches you the steps to install it. Download and Install JDK (Java Development Kit) You can download the latest version of jdk from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp. Once you download the exe file you can now install it. Just follow as mentioned: To install the jdk, double click on the downloaded exe file (jdk-6u1-windows-i586-p.exe)

Step 1. Double Click the icon of downloaded exe.

You will see jdk 6 update 1 window as shown below.

Step 2: Now a "License Agreement" window opens. Just read the agreement and click "Accept" button to accept and go further.

Step 3: Now a "Custom Setup" window opens.

Step 4: Click on "Change" button to choose the installation directory. Here it is "C:\Program Files\ Java\jdk1.6.0_01". Now click on "OK" button.

Clicking the "OK" button starts the installation. It is shown in the following figure.

Step 5: Next window asks to install Runtime Environment.

Click the "Change" button to choose the installation directory of Runtime Environment. We prefer not to change it. So click "Next" button.

Step 6: Click "OK" button starts the installation.

Step 7: Now "Complete" window appears indicating that installation of jdk 1.6 has completed successfully. Click "Finish" button to exit from the installation process.

Step 8: The above installation will create two folders "jdk1.6.0_01" and "jre1.6.0_01" in "C:\ Program Files\ java" folder.

Step 9: To make available Java Compiler and Runtime Environment for compiling and running java programs , we set the system environment variables. First of all select "My Computer" icon and right click the mouse button. Now click on "system Properties" option. It provides the "System Properties" window , click the 'Advanced' tab. Then Click the "Environment Variables" button. It provides "Environment Variables" window. Now select the path in System variables and click 'Edit' button. The"Edit System Variable" window will open. Add "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01\bin" to 'variable value' and click 'Ok', 'Ok' and 'Ok' buttons.

Step 10: Now set the JAVA_HOME variable and set its value to " C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01 ". If this variable has not been declared earlier then create a new system variable by clicking on "New" button and give variable name as "JAVA_HOME" and variable value as " C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_01 ". Now click "OK". This variable is used by other applications to find jdk installation directory. For example, Tomcat server needs "JAVA_HOME" variable to find the installation directory of jdk.

Step 11: Now this is the final step to check that you have installed jdk successfully and it is working fine. Just go to the command prompt and type javac and hit enter key you will get the screen as shown below :

Tomcat Install for Windows OS

Click the link: http://tomcat.apache.org/ Installation of JDK: Before beginning the process of installing Tomcat on your system, ensure first the availability of JDK on your system program directory. Install it on your system if not already installed (because any version of tomcat requires the Java 1.6 or higher versions) and then set the class path (environment variable) of JDK Step 1: The process of installing Tomcat 5.5 begins here from now. It takes various steps for installing and configuring the Tomcat 5.5. For Windows OS, Tomcat comes in two forms: .zip file and .exe file (the Windows installer file). Here we are exploring the installation process by using the .exe file. First unpack the zipped file and simply execute the '.exe' file.

A Welcome screen shot appears that shows the beginning of installation process. Just click on the 'Next' button to proceed the installation process. Steps 2: A screen of 'License Agreement' displays.

The port number will be your choice on which you want to run the tomcat server. The port number 8080 is the default port value for tomcat server to proceed the HTTP requests. The user can also change the 'port number' after completing the process of installation; for this, users have to follow the following tips. Go to the specified location as " Tomcat 6.0 \conf \server.xml ". Within the server.xml file choose "Connector" tag and change the port number. Now, click on the 'Next' button to further proceed the installation process. Step 6: A Window of Java Virtual Machine displays on the screen

This window asks for the location of the installed Java Virtual Machine. Browse the location of the JRE folder and click on the Install button. This will install the Apache tomcat at the specified location. Step 7: A processing window of installing displays on the screen.

To get the information about installer click on the "Show details" button Step 8: A screen shot of 'Tomcat Completion' displays on the screen.

Click on the 'Finish' button. Step 9: A window of Apache Service Manager appears with displaying the running process.

Let the running process goes on. Step 10: After completing the installation process, the Apache Tomcat Manager appears on the toolbar panel like shown in the below picture.

Configuring Tomcat Manager

Mysql Install for Windows OS

Installing and configuring MySQL Steps 1 and 2 - Download and Install the latest version. Step 1 - Download the Latest stable version 5.
Go to MySQL Downloads page for the latest stable release. This is the binary version and contains an installer package which does most of the work for you these days. The need for manual editing of config files has therefore been reduced. Download to a temporary location, I have a 'Master Programs' folder which I download to and extract from there.

Step 2 - Install MySQL

Extract the downloaded zip into its current location, then run the resulting 'setup.exe' file to start the mysql installer.

To quickly get a request up and running, following are all images to show step by step what to do on the installation screens. I will over the next few days, break this down with written comments and span it over a few pages. Hank, this should get you up and running!
