After waiting for the late April release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server release so support will be refreshed for 5 years. It would not run on the CTDBlade siocalcofi.uscd.edu without issues. After struggling for a few weeks and even installing Debian (which works fine). I setup Ubuntu 14.04.01 64bit server on my old Windows i7 desktop which Angela had been using. Replacing the Windows 7 hard drive with a 1tb spare, Ubuntu 14.04.1 64bit server installed fine.

After manually installing Tomcat8 to get the recommended filepaths, ERDDAP installed easily (finally). Several management and dataserver-related packages were also installed: webmin, postgresql, mysql, php-5.5, Joomla 3 (mirror of calcofi.com).

siocalcofi.ucsd.edu mac address was switched from the CTDBlade ethernet address to (the former) caffeinated.ucsd.edu. siocalcofi.ucsd.edu is accessible online. Website at siocalcofi.ucsd.edu; ERDDAP at siocalcofi.ucsd.edu:8080/ERDDAP.

 

Configuring ERDDAP to access our MySql hydrographic database requires installation of the java JDBC plugin. This was installed on sio-calcofi.ucsd.edu. Editing the web.xml file to connect to the hydrographic database (ccdb) is still needed.

ERDDAP recommended upgrade (1.38 Apr 2012) was installed on sio-calcofi.ucsd.edu.
