RAMADDA Home Directory

RAMADDA Workshop

1.2 RAMADDA Home Directory

Let's look at where RAMADDA stores data and content on disk.

Bring up a terminal window.
The repository.properties file we copied into the Tomcat directory specifies the RAMADDA home:
```
/usr/share/tomcat6/conf
```

Do:

cd /usr/share/tomcat6/conf
ls

And you should see:

derby      - The built in Java Derby database
htdocs     - A place where RAMADDA looks for miscellaneous web content
idv        - Used by the IDV visualization plugin. You can 
             put IDV plugins here (e.g., colortables, maps, etc)
logs       - Stores log files
plugins    - RAMADDA plugins
resources  - ???
storage    - Where RAMADDA stores files 
tmp        -  A temporary directory

If you forgot to install the plugins when you configured RAMADDA then:
- Fetch the allplugins.jar from the RAMADDA SourceForge site
- Copy the allplugins.jar file to the plugins directory
- You will need to restart RAMADDA to have it load the new plugins.
