Windows Documentation: Server Install: Jetty

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

DRAFT FOR COMMENT:

NB - I'm going to suggest that for Windows users, they install the Java VM,
MySQL, Jetty and Jikes BEFORE they even download the JReceiver stuff. As
such, this is just about getting a trial Jetty server running - the
JReciever xml stuff that the Linux version include here will move down to
the separate JReceiver section, so it lives along side the WAR stuff.

[WINDOWS]

The Jetty binaries are only currently available in TGZ format. TGZ is
common file format in the Unix world, and some ZIP programs are able to
read it. If your ZIP tool does not, the it's known to work with WinRAR,
available from www.rarsoft.com . WinRAR is a straightforward installation,
well documented on its own site, so not documented here.

JReceiver is known to be work with the 3.1.7 release of Jetty. Information
concerning compatability with older versions in the 3.1.x servies, and the
4.x series (still in Beta) would be welcomed.

Download the jetty-(version).tgz file to a temporary directory. Extract the
files directly to the target directory (your choice - I recommend
c:\program files\jetty-3.1.7)

Now, set another environment variable (Start/Settings/Control
Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables/System Variable/New): This
variable is called JETTY_HOME and should be set to the directory you just
installed into (eg - C:\Program files\Jetty-3.1.7). It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL
that you enter the directory name in exactly the same Case as your PC
displays it. From Jetty's point of view, "Program Files" and
"program files" are completely different. In particular, you will
almost certainly find that your PC thinks of your C: drive as
"C:", not "c:"

Now it's time to run Jetty for the first time... Change to the directory
you just installed Jetty to, then into the "bin" subdirectory,
and run the Jetty batch file. If all goes well, you will see a command
prompt appear, then a whole bunch of lines of code, and finally the line
"Started org.mortbay.jetty.Server@<something>".

Now it's time to test. Point your favourite web browser at http://localhost:8080 If everything's
working, then you'll see a web page that talks about being the Jetty
server. If everything's not working, time to go to the JETTY_USERS
list.

You may note that the Linux instructions at this point talk about add XML
files relating specifically to JReceiver. The Windows instructions are
written on the basis that we're installing all the components first, THEN
configuring them for JReceiver once they're all working, so don't
worry...
