Get production branch:

> git checkout remotes/origin/unmerged
Note: checking out 'remotes/origin/unmerged'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 611b791... new tests, shell script to run tests

> git checkout -b unmerged
Switched to a new branch 'unmerged'

Create properties file

• Create ~/.intermine directory.
• Copy the sample properties file as ~/.intermine/wormmine.properties
• Fill in placeholders as follows:
  • <POSTGRES USER PASSWORD>: postgres password for intermine user
  • <TOMCAT USER PASSWORD>: tomcat password for intermine user
  • <SERVER PUBLIC BASE URL>: Base url of your web server, including port. Sample: http://123.456.789.123:8080
  • <CREATE WM ADMIN USERNAME/PASSWORD> create the primary admin account
  • <EMAIL ADDRESS TO SEND HELP EMAILS FROM>: your server should be configured to send emails from this address. This will send users password reset emails and the like.
  • <HELP REQUESTS ARE SENT HERE>: can be same address as above, this is where input from the InterMine help form gets sent.

Get production database

• Find your favorite release from WORMMINE DB FTP URL
• Create empty DB

> createdb -U intermine -E SQL_ASCII wormmine

• • -U: user set to intermine
  • -E: character set used
• Unpack and restore DB

> psql -U intermine -d wormmine -f <WORMMINE RELEASE SQL>

• • -U: execute as user
  • -d: destination DB
  • -f: SQL input file

Launch webapp

• Navigate to intermine/wormmine/webapp
• Launch webapp:

 > ./xx

• • This script contains:

ant clean
ant -v default remove-webapp release-webapp

Test Webapp

You should be able to reach your new instance through <baseurl>/wormmine Webapp is standalone.

Attach to WormBase instance

If you want to enable integration with WormBase, follow these steps:

Checkout merged branch

> git checkout remotes/origin/staging
Note: checking out 'remotes/origin/staging'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 611b791... new tests, shell script to run tests

> git checkout -b staging
Switched to a new branch 'staging'

Reconfigure properties file

• Needs to deploy at tools/wormmine

webapp.path=tools/wormmine

• Change url to where the base will be:

webapp.baseurl=http://staging.wormbase.org
webapp.returnurl=http://staging.wormbase.org/auth/openid?openid_identifier=https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id&redirect=http://dev.wormbase.org/tools/wormmine/mymine.do#

Modify wormbase.conf

To enable login system, make sure config flag: wormmine_path = 'tools/wormmine' is uncommented.
