5.3.0 installation documentation

[dsudar]

Hi team,

Congratulations on giving birth to 5.3.0. The list of new stuff is very impressive and I look forward working with it.

While trying to do a test install on an Ubuntu 16.04 server I found the following small issues in the documentation on URL: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... ce3.6.html
1) section: Install OMERO.web (run as omero) - this may need some attention
I used instead:

Code: Select all

wget https://downloads.openmicroscopy.org/latest/omero5.3/py.zip
unzip py.zip
rm py.zip
ln -s OMERO.py-* OMERO.py


I presume that is equivalent to what this section was meant to achieve?

2) section: Daemon (run as root) - where is the ubuntu directory it refers to?

Cheers,
- Damir

Hi Damir

Thanks for the information, we missed those points while reviewing the documentation
The pages are autogenerated from the installation repository https://github.com/ome/omeroweb-install

1) You are correct
If you look at the repository, we use another tool, omego, to download the various zip
The "move" to /home/omero is part of the workflow and can be replaced by link command.
We will adjust the autogenerated doc

2)
When a playbook is run, a "omero-web-init.d" file is generated
see https://github.com/ome/omeroweb-install ... tes/ubuntu
A link to the file is missing in the page but
the page displays the content of the generated "omero-web-init.d" file.
So you could create "omero-web-init.d" and copy the example from the page and adjust it accordingly.
i.e.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/init.d/omero
# Subsystem file for "omero" server
#

....
esac
exit $RETVAL


We will fix the documentation.
Thanks for your feedback

Cheers

Hi Jmarie,

Again congratulations and thanks for the reply. 5.3.0 works great and I'm having fun checking out all the new features. And I noticed the significant performance improvements in a number of areas.

One more area to check the documentation is on page: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... -omero-web and below on that same page
It would be good to state very clearly that if one deploys OMERO.web separately as explained on page: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... ce3.6.html, then one should start OMERO.web using that separate "environment" instead of just doing: OMERO.server/bin/omero web start

Cheers,
