As I get feedback from those interested in running the pet store, I will improve the installation. For now, here are some notes to point you in the right direction.

See KnownPlatforms to learn about different places I've run the SchemePetStore.

Prep work

• Grab the latest siscweb distribution from http://siscweb.sourceforge.net
• Grab the source code for the pet store from the DownloadSource page
• Grap the postgresql JDBC driver from http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html
• Setup the Tomcat server container
• Make sure that both Tomcat and the siscweb demos work
• Unpack the pet store source code. I moved the scheme_pet_store directory to $TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/sps. Let's call this $SPS_ROOT

The Database

• Get a version of postgresql running
• Edit the Makefile in the $SPS_ROOT/db directory
• With your postgresql server running, type make create-db and then make load-db. Cross fingers. Find errors, mail them to BenSimon
• You should review the .sql files in this directory, and confirm that the database was indeed populated with sample data

The Web Application

• Edit $SPS_ROOT/sps.xml file, making sure the correct database connection info is in there
• Copy $SPS_ROOT/sps.xml to $TOMCAT_ROOT/conf/Catalina/localhost/sps.xml
• Edit $SPS_ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml so that it has your correct server host name present
• Copy sisc-heap.jar, sisc-lib.jar, sisc-opt.jar, sisc.jar and siscweb.jar into $SPS_ROOT/WEB-INF/lib from the siscweb distribution
• Copy the JDBC jar file into $TOMCAT_ROOT/common/lib/
• Start up tomcat
• Visit http://your-server/sps/do/store to see the store application
