Setting up geonode

Fast install text from GeoNode.org Quickstart:

1. Install from PPA in Ubuntu 12.04 -> see http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/intro/install.html
   • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release . Note, if add-apt does not work (command not found) then do first sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
   • sudo apt-get update
   • sudo apt-get install geonode (before I could run this I had do to do sudo apt-get install libtomcat7-java so that Tomcat6 will be removed and then I could install tomcat7 - which was needed to for GeoServer - used by GeoNode)
2. Set the IP address and create a superuser (also described here: http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/deploy/production.html)
   • sudo geonode-updateip 127.0.0.1
   • geonode createsuperuser > to login to geoserver as described in the geonode install instructions use user admin with geoserver
3. Import data

Read the admin docs and also OSGeo Live DVD Quickstart tutorial

Notes on installing PostGIS

install from source: see: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1204src

• To check if postgres exists, use which psql which should return the path. Then with the path I did /usr/bin/psql --version

to retrieve the version installed.

• So, Postgres 9.1 was installed, but when I executed "psql" I got this: </code>psql: FATAL: role "ssteinig" does not exist</code>
• Hence, I first had to creating my account as a user using sudo -u postgres createuser -s $USER (got this from here).
• Now I could create a db using createdb mygeodb, and connect via commandline with psql -d mygeodb
• Finally I spatially enabled the db with CREATE EXTENSION postgis; and CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
• then add a Postgres/postgis port forwarding rule for port 5432
