Title	Cocoon Installation on RedHat Linux
Summary	This document describes how to setup a Linux server to use Cocoon in combination with the Apache web server on a Linux installation. It assumes familiarity with Linux on the command line. While this installation was performed on Redhat it should work well on any other distribution with a recent kernel version.
Software	Custom Installation of Linux Redhat (http://www.redhat.com/) Apache Web server (source) (http://httpd.apache.org/) Jakarta Tomcat (rpm) (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/) Cocoon (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/) IBM Developer Kit for Linux, Java 2 (http://www.ibm.com/java/)
Background	Cocoon is a java-based application that, among other features, converts XML documents to HTML documents on the fly using XML style sheets. Cocoon needs a JSP engine; we will use the latest release of Tomcat, at the time version 4.0.1. Even though Tomcat comes with a HTTP engine, we will use Apache since it is renowned for it's stability, reliability and security.
Skill Level	Intermediate
Skills Required	- Basic understanding of Unix - Basic understanding of TCP/IP - Basic familiarity of Unix shell (e.g. csh, bash) - Basic usage of the vi editor
