Linux installation

Make sure the required software is installed (see requirements).

war-based installation:
1. Locate the base web application directory, webapps, of your Tomcat (or other Servlet/JSP container) installation.
2. Place the opinio.war file in this folder.
3. Restart the web server
4. The Servlet/JSP container will now unpack and create the Opinio folder automatically.
5. Set the display variable. This is necessary because the Opinio reports is producing charts that needs X-windows as an underlying graphical architecture. Use this command: set display="localhost:0.0"
6. If you are running the servlet container (web server) on another port than 8080, or you install Opinio in a subfolder other than “opinio”, edit the WEB-INF/opinio.properties file. For example, if you are running on port 80, and installed in a folder called “survey”, the line:
  objectplanet.persistence.jdbcURL=jdbc:hsqldb:http://localhost:8080/opinio/hsqldb
  should be changed to:
  objectplanet.persistence.jdbcURL=jdbc:hsqldb:http://localhost:80/survey/hsqldb
  Then restart the web server (servlet container) again.
Jar based installation: will be added soon.

Installation is now complete. Log in at the following address:

http://server-address/opinio/

Replace “server-address” with the address of the machine you installed on. Use login = admin, password = admin. The password for admin should be changed before you start creating your surveys, to improve security.
