MyTardis 2.5 Release Candidate 1 Virtual Machine (CentOS 5.7)

This is a virtual machine for running MyTardis. It's in the Open Virtualization Format that can be imported by the free VirtualBox and various other virtualisation software. It's not complete yet, but it's a good start for those wanting to see how MyTardis works.

Notes:

- Open VirtualBox, File>Import Appliance. Make sure your network is bridged to the interface that has the internet right now (and can get another IP) and start it.

- Access the web server via the vm's ip (discover with /sbin/ifconfig)

- There's a samba mount for the staging area (partitioned by username but with no security) so you can add files to /mytardis and go to Create Experiment.

- The files already in there demonstrate that the diffraction image filter I wrote way back still works and extracts metadata from the files.

- ssh root@ with password mytardis to get in (awesome security steve so far!)

- Single solr search box is working, but the index regen is manual right now. That's for if you add new parameter definitions that have is_searchable. The script under ~/mytardis/bin for regenerating the index will do it. After that you stop and start tomcat (service tomcat ), and do the same with mytardis. Which brings me to:

- There's a script in bin for restarting mytardis. That stops and starts everything it finds such as celery and uwsgi. It all runs through nginx. You'll want to do that if you change code too.
