      * CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat
      * file /etc/init.d/tomcat5 added for boot time start of tomcat
   * Java J2SDK 1.4.2_08 (see the [[%ATTACHURL%/OpenClinica-v0.9.0-Install-Guide.txt][OpenClinica-v0.9.0 Install Guide]])
      * JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/java
   * Ruby 1.8
      * Interpreter and Ruby libraries
      * Ruby documentation
      * Interactive Ruby
      * [[http://www.modruby.net/en/][mod_ruby]] (for Apache2)
      * [[http://www.modruby.net/en/][eRuby]] (for embedding Ruby in HTML)
      * *Note*: for mod_ruby and eRuby, go [[http://wiki.modruby.net/en/?InstallGuide][here]] for additional configuration notes.  An example [[%ATTACHURL%/ruby.load][ruby.load]] file, which you can drop into the =/etc/apache2/mods-available/= directory, is attached below.
      * For convenience: run =apt-get install ruby libapache2-mod-ruby irb ri eruby=
   * [[http://www.rubyonrails.org][Rails]] (for Ruby) (check out RailsNotes for quick installation notes)
      * Go [[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126][here]] and download the <nop>RubyGems source
      * Unzip the source, and then run =ruby setup.rb= to install <nop>RubyGems
      * Run =gem install rails --include-dependencies=
      * *Note*: the first two steps won't be necessary in the future, since <nop>RubyGems will be incorporated as the official Ruby installer
   * <nop>PostgreSQL Ruby extension
      * Get the [[http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/][source code]]
      * Install ruby1.8-dev (=apt-get install ruby1.8-dev=)
      * Run =ruby extconf.rb; make; make install=
      * *Note*: for your <nop>PostgreSQL tables to work with Rails, you need a serial non null unique id called "id". %BR% Example: =create table penguins (id SERIAL NOT NULL UNIQUE, name varchar(50), height int, weight int, PRIMARY KEY("id"));=
   * CVS (go [[http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/cvs.jspx][here]] and/or [[http://www.taursys.com/howto/cvs/][here]; follow the instructions)
      * *Note*: for whatever reason, inetd wasn't running when I was configuring CVS.  It's in the rc*.d directories though... so I dunno.
      * Open up port 2401 in iptables (only accept local connections for now): %BR% =iptables -A INPUT -s 160.129.0.0/16 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2401 -j ACCEPT=
      * Run: =chown -R cvs.cvs /usr/local/cvsroot=
      * [[%ATTACHURL%/encrypt.pl.txt][Attached]] below is the Perl script I used to make passwords for CVS.

---+++Miscellaneous configuration notes
   * I disabled bash_history by default (no saving across sessions) due to security issues.  Here are the relevant lines in /etc/profile:
<verbatim>
     export HISTFILESIZE=0
     unset HISTFILE

     # Change this to a reasonable number of lines to save, I like to save only 100.
     export HISTSIZE=100
</verbatim>
