Note

An Ubuntu 10.4 with ZOO virtual image is available at http://www.zoo-project.org/Ubuntu10.4_ZOO.zip (root: ZOO.test)

The following instructions were tested on Debian Squeeze, Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10

Installation Workflow

  • install some dependencies
sudo apt-get install flex bison libfcgi-dev libxml2 libxml2-dev curl openssl autoconf checkinstall
  • download ZOO source
svn checkout http://svn.zoo-project.org/svn/trunk zoo-project
  • install cgic from packages
cd zoo-project/thirds/cgic206/
  • compile
make
  • go to kernel path
cd ../../zoo-kernel/
  • create configure file
autoconf
  • run configure
./configure --with-java=/path/to/java
./configure --with-python

Note

In Ubuntu 10.04 libmozjs-dev does not exist, so to use JavaScript you can compile SpiderMonkey (remember to put /usr/local/lib in a file inside /etc/ld.so.conf.d/). For PHP, you must make sure to compile PHP with –enable-embed.

  • to use JavaScript with compiled SpiderMonkey.
sudo echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libmoz185.conf
sudo ldconfig
./configure --with-js=/usr/local
  • to use JavaScript with Xulrunner .
sudo echo "/usr/lib/xulrunner-dev" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libmoz185.conf
sudo ldconfig
./configure --with-js=/usr/lib/xulrunner-dev
  • compile
make zoo_loader.cgi
  • copy necessary files into your cgi-bin
sudo cp main.cfg /usr/lib/cgi-bin
sudo cp zoo_loader.cgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin
  • install ZOO ServiceProvider (in this case we try Python service)
sudo cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/cgi-env/*.zcfg /usr/lib/cgi-bin
sudo cp ../zoo-services/hello-py/*.py /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
  • change some paths in the main.cfg
sudo nano /usr/lib/cgi-bin/main.cfg
  - serverAddress = http://127.0.0.1
  - providerSite = http://127.0.0.1

Note

If you have some problem in the execute request using Python service, add the following to main.cfg:

[env]
PYTHONPATH=<YOUR_PYTHONPATH>
