| ------- |

| |
| 3.0 The ATS Installation |
| Apache Traffic Server is installed in: '/ats'. |
| The installation script used to install ATS is contained within the contrib |
| directory, part of the ATS source distribution. The script is included |
| within the '/ats' folder for actual use. |
| |
| 3.1 Additional Update Functionality |
| The EC2 images provided contain additional scripts to maintain freshness |
| of the install scripts. At one time the scripts provided 'auto-heal' |
| functionality but that has been removed. Running /ats/install_update.sh |
| will keep the ATS installation up to date. |
| |
| 3.2 User customized settings |
| Any customized settings will be lost if the update/install scripts are run. |
| Upon executing the install/update scripts you may copy your files back into |
| the config directory. Users should periodically backup your config files, |
| and keep abrest of any config changes as new versions of ATS are released. |
| The latter reason being why I did not auto-copy configs. While I've tried |
| to lessen as much pain for any Sys Admins, ultimately you must take charge |
| of these critical settings as updates will and do happen frequently to the |
| ATS source. |
| |
| An example script which alters settings can be found in |
| '/ats/contrib/set_trafficserver.sh' |
| This has been used on the AMIs already provided. |
| |
| 3.3 Script Breakout |
| |
| ats |
| |-- contrib |
| | -- install_trafficserver.sh : installs ATS. Try not to run this directly. |
| | -- set_trafficserver.sh : sample config/testing/benchmark base script. |
| You may want to learn from/use this script. |
| ` -- update_scripts.sh : used to update install_trafficserver.sh, |
| and set_trafficserver.sh from trunk. |
| |-- install_update.sh : the 'easy button' script to re-install ATS. |
| Executes update_scripts.sh, then install_trafficserver.sh. |
| This is what you want to run. |
| `-- readme : extra information. |
| |
| 4.0 FAQ |
| |
| 4.1 I use EC2 and I'm still confused!? |
| With your EC2 account, refer to one of the AMIs listed in this doc |
| (Ubuntu/Fedora). Image architectures provided are i386, and x86_64. |
| 64bit is offered for those who need to spin up a big high powered instances. |
| Once running (and it may take a while) you will find yourself with a Linux |
| distribution with Apache Traffic Server already installed. If you'd like |
| to re-install ATS against trunk, run '/ats/install_update.sh'. Note that |
| you will have to backup and/or optimize your configuration (see 3.2). |
| To further setup ATS see the TrafficServer wiki @ |
| |
| http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TS/ |
| |
| 4.2 What is EC2? |
| See http://aws.amazon.com/ |
| |
| 4.3 I don't use EC2 or have an AWS account, can I still use these scripts on |
| my Virtual Machine or dedicated Ubuntu/Fedora Linux Box? |
| Absolutely! The /contrib scripts are actually meant for Ubuntu/Linux |
| Installs first, EC2 second. You can find them on the ATS SVN/Git |
| repository under '/contrib'. |
| |
