WHAT YOU NEED:
	- TOMCAT 5.0 or higher
	- MySQL 4.1 or higher
	- Annotea.war file	

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install Tomcat 5.0
	1.1 Run the Tomcat server

2. Install MySQL 4.1
	2.1 Within MySQL create a database called "annoteaDB" (on unix) or "testdb" (on windows)

3. Deploy the Annotea.war file:
	3.1 Using the Tomcat Manager application available at http://yourcomputername:8080/manager/html (NOTE: you need to have manager priviledges to do this)
	3.2 Go to the Annotea configuration file available at $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/Annotea/WEB-INF/classes/conf/
		- If you cannot find the Annotea directory within the webapps directory this means that Annotea has not been deployed correctly
		- Check the log in Tomcats log directory and search for the Catalina.out file (this should tell you what went wrong)
	3.3 You should open either windows_preferences.xml or unix_preferences.xml according to the OS Tomcat is running on
	3.4 The following preferences need to be changed according to your needs (the preferences file contains description of each):
		1. M_DB_URL 
		2. M_DB_USER
		3. M_DB_PASSWD 
		4. M_SERVER_PATH
		5. M_UPLOAD_DIR

4. Restart Tomcat:
	- You will need to restart Tomcat in order for the Annotea web application to make your changes

5. Testing Annotea is working:
	- Try to access the following URL http://yourcomputername:8080/Annotea/AnnoteaServlet/policy/DEFAULT_POLICY (should return an XML file)
	- Try to post an annotation using an Annotea compliant client (ensure the client is pointing to your newly installed Annotea server)
