some notes on configuring xenctl...

to build:

 export PATH=/usr/groups/xeno/build_tools/bin:${PATH}
 # this next step has already been done.
 # cp $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar $ANT_HOME/lib
 cd xeno.bk/tools/control
 make
 cd xeno.bk/tools/internal
 make

to setup:

 ## expand the jakarta (aka catalina) tree somewhere accessible by dom0
 export ROOTDIR=/anfs/scratch/labyrinth/ach61
 cd $ROOTDIR
 tar zxf /usr/groups/xeno/archive/tomcat-4.1.24.tar.gz 
 export CATALINA_HOME=$ROOTDIR/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24
 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/groups/xeno/build_tools/java-1.4.1

 ## edit $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml, change port 8080 to port 80
 cp $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.orig
 sed 's/8080/80/g' $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.orig > $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml 

 ## install the xenctl web archive
 cp xeno.bk/tools/control/dist/xenctl-0.1-dev.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/xenctl.war
 cp xeno.bk/tools/control/domctl.xml /var/lib/xen

 ## either edit xi_tools_dir in domctl.xml or copy the binaries
 # find xeno.bk/tools/internal -perm +111 -type f -exec cp {} /usr/local/bin \;

to run:
 $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
 # point your browser at hostname-0.xeno.cl.cam.ac.uk:80/xenctl


for development:
 ## edit xeno.bk/tools/control/build.properties
 # change manger.url to your xenoserver: mousetrap-0.xeno.cl.cam.ac.uk
 # change build.home to your xeno.bk full path 
 ## to "make install" in xeno.bk/tools/control  instead of copying the war file
 cp $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.orig
 sed -e 's/<tomcat-users>/<tomcat-users>\
  <role rolename="standard"\/>\
  <role rolename="manager"\/>\
  <user username="hobbes" password="tiger" roles="standard,manager"\/>/' $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.orig > $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml
