Taverna service installation

Soap/Pear

SOAP is a protocol for messaging between web services (e.g. Taverna). Web communication consists of passing simple strings back and forth, but complex web services like Taverna need to be able to express and understand strongly typed data. This is what SOAP is useful for - it can encode and decode data so that it can be sent across a network connection while retaining strong typing and object semantics. PEAR is PHP Extension and Application Repository. It’s a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components.

Install Pear

Quick answer: Call the following command to install the current SOAP server Beta version which was tested with this system:

pear install channel://pear.php.net/SOAP-0.13.0 SOAP

More detailed information:

The general command to install a PEAR package named “foo” is

$ pear install foo

If the package is already installed, it will provide a message by saying “ignoring installation”

To upgrade:

$ pear upgrade foo

Upgrading to a specific version:

$ pear upgrade foo-1.2.3

You can use any of the version for stability:

Alpha, beta, stable, devel.

Command for this is:

$ pear config-set preferred-state alpha

Various help documents can be found to facilitate the learning of pear commands which aid in the installation and use of the PEAR soap server framework

PEAR help command:

$ pear help

Gives you list of commands.

To get help on installing the pear:

$pear help install

Configuring PEAR setup:

To display configuration information:

$ pear config-show

To read a single value:

$ pear config-show php_dir

To change a value:

$ pear config-set preferred_state beta

Once install is completed the system should be almost up and running. One thing to remember is to run the setuplogs.sh script that is mentioned in the logging section of the manual. This will create any necessary log files in the proper locations and set the permissions as required.
