we still don't have any instructions but I'll help you personally, no
problem ;-)

VERY important: please use the version in CVS rep. You need to compile
the latest version by yourself from the CVS rep.

1. Update your local CVS.
2. Run openuss/dev-all/build/apply-all-build. You should not use
    dev-all for your production env. since this is only for developers
    integration test.
3. Edit openuss/usr-all/build/build.properties. Change the output
    directory of openuss user application as needed. Let's say you
    use this option:

# Change this property to reflect your target distribution directory
dist.dir=C:/openuss

4. Run openuss/usr-all/build/build-deploy
5. You will get a ready to use openuss2.0 (only the application)
    in the directory you setup in step 3 (C:\openuss).

6. Install EE (only 6.3.x) and configure it. Please also install Enhydra
    Director if you have Apache web server 1.3.x or Enhydra Conductor
    if you use Apache 2.x. Here you can configure Enhydra
    Director/Conductor to serve all the web application at port 80.
    For this purpose you need to turn on Director/Conductor (modjk)
    Connector. This is just the same style as HTTP Connector for
    Tomcat... You need to edit this file:

    C:\enhydra-enterprise-6.3\multiserver\conf\server.xml

    Please follow the instruction from Enhydra document carefully.

7. Now you need to setup openuss. It's now quite easy. You need to edit
    the following file:

    C:\openuss\build\build.properties.

    In this file you will find *every* options in OpenUSS you can
    configure for openuss (see the attachment below). Yes now we can
    configure openuss just in one file!

    Run C:\openuss\build\apply-all-build after every changes...

8. That's it! Now you can start openuss at http://localhost/openuss-web

For using openuss in port 80, it's important you use Director/Conductor.
If you don't want to use them you can also change the HTTP connector
of Tomcat directly to serve port 80. Take a look at this file:

C:\enhydra-enterprise-6.3\multiserver\conf\server.xml

www.openuss.org now serves a lot more users and we can easily add
a new cluster for this purpose thanks to Enhydra director.

Hope this helps!
