Sesame on Tomcat on Ubuntu 9.10

First become root
$ sudo su

Now install JRE

# sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts libservlet-2.5
# update-alternatives --config java

A few options pop up. I chose this one:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

Now tomcat (according to this howto and summarized here)

# apt-get install tomcat6 tomcat6-admin tomcat6-common tomcat6-user tomcat6-docs tomcat6-examples

Try starting tomcat
# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start
Try stopping
# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop
Restart an we're gonna play with it
# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart
Query readiness
# /etc/init.d/tomcat6 status
* Tomcat servlet engine is running with pid 3789

Point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and verify that tomcat is up and running.

Now install Sesame on tomcat as follows.

Download the sesame binary package from http://www.openrdf.org/download.jsp.

Extract it to some dir $SESAME

# cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps

Copy the .war files

# cp $SESAME/war/* .



# mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat6/.aduna/openrdf-sesame/logs
# chown tomcat6:tomcat6 /usr/share/tomcat6/.aduna

Edit /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/50local.policy

and add this stuff:
