This is a detailed HowTo on deploying a MapProxy instance on Enterprise Linux (CentOS 5.5) for production. I worked this out for the deployment of the CRC806-Database MapProxy instance. It will describe a setup using Apache with FastCGI (mod_fastcgi or mod_fcgid) on a blank CentOS 5.5 amd64, which is also described shortly and more generally (focused on debian/ubuntu) in the MapProxy documentation.

On my 64Bit Desktop it gave me the following error (in catalina.out):

1. Make shure you have a java-jdk installed.

2. Download the actual tar.gz file from the tomcat homepage. (I used 'apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz')

3. unpack the tar.gz file and move it to /usr/local/tomcat


tar xvzf apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz
mv apache-tomcat-6.0.18 /usr/local/tomcat

4. create an init script for tomcat

nano /etc/init.d/tomcat

5. Paste the following code in that script.
(take care of the java path depending on your java installation
sun version: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
gcj version: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj)

The apt sources of the default Ubuntu 8.04 installation of the Strato V-power servers are not set to multiverse. So when you want to install the sun-java packages, you have to add multiverse.

For this just do the following:

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and add the string "multiverse" at the end of every 'deb' line.
The result should look like this:

# See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
