SETTING UP THE PDP
===

---
To run the PDP server
---

Go to InfoShare/PDPServer/bin and run either 'startup.bat' (Windows) or './startup.sh' (Linux/Mac)
If you get a "permission denied" notice, type "chmod 700 *.sh" to make all .sh files executable

You must run the PDP server and note the IP address of the machine it is running on (type 'ipconfig' at a command prompt)
BEFORE you start using the InfoShare protecting files 

NOTE: If you already have Apache Tomcat on your PDP machine, you may find you need to check/change system 
environment variables/settings so that the 'startup' command uses the InfoShare instance of tomcat and no other 
instances.
