Install Newsgate
Installing Newsgate involves the following steps:
-
Log in as
escenic
on your assembly-host. -
Download the Newsgate distribution from the Escenic Technet web site (http://technet.escenic.com). If you have a multi-host installation with shared folders as described in the Escenic Content Engine Installation Guide, then it is a good idea to download the distribution to your shared
/mnt/download
folder:$ cd /mnt/download $ wget http://user:password@technet.escenic.com/downloads/PATH??/newsgate-dist-2.1.0.2.zip
Otherwise, download it to some temporary location of your choice.
-
If the folder
/opt/escenic/plugins
does not already exist, create it:$
mkdir /opt/escenic/plugins -
Unpack the Newsgate distribution file:
$ cd /opt/escenic/plugins $ unzip /mnt/download/newsgate-dist-2.1.0.2.zip
This will result in the creation of an
/opt/escenic/plugins/newsgate
folder. -
Log in as
escenic
on your assembly-host. -
Run the
ece
script to re-assemble your Content Engine applications$
ece assembleThis generates an EAR file (
/var/cache/escenic/engine.ear
) that you can deploy on all your engine-hosts. -
If you have a single-host installation, then skip this step.
On each engine-host, copy
/var/cache/escenic/engine.ear
from the assembly-host. If you have installed an SSH server on theassembly-host
and SSH clients on yourengine-host
s, then you can do this as follows:$
scp -r escenic@assembly-host-ip-address:/var/cache/escenic/engine.ear /var/cache/escenic/where assembly-host-ip-address is the host name or IP address of your assembly-host.
-
On each engine-host, deploy the EAR file and restart the Content Engine by entering:
$
ece deploy$
ece restart
