[Ala-portal] getting started issues

[Tim Robertson [GBIF]]

Hi Miguel

One of the goals of the forthcoming workshop is to clean up legacy documentation such as that which you have stumbled upon.  You are following old guides there I am afraid.

Please can you start here: http://dev.gbif.org/wiki/display/ALA/01+Essential+tools+and+environment+configurations

The installation is actually run as an Ansible playbook now and not the shell script you were using.  Once Ansible is set up, and you have a target host, the installation should be very straightforward.

Sorry about this - it looks like you made great progress though so I am sure you learnt something about the underlying pieces at least. 

Thanks,
Tim
