cl:8083/ How to install JBoss AS in CentOS / RedHat / Fedora Author : Fsolans In this HOWTO, we are using CentOS 5.0, JDK6 and JBoss 5.1.x. [edit] Installing Java SE 6 Let's go ! By default, CentOS 5.0 contains the package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp. 115. [neodoo@neodoo-02 downloads]$ java --version java version "1.4.2" gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44) Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PART ... First, you have to install the latest Java SE Development Kit (JDK) that you can download from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads In this article, I have download Java SE Development Kit 6u16 for Platform Linux x64 (jdk-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin). For install JDK, you have to put execution permissions to the file. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ chmod 755 jdk-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ ./jdk-6u16-linux-x64-rpm.bin You can verify that Java SE is installed in /usr/java/ I verify the Java version of the operating system. [root@neodoo-00 downloads]# java -version java version "1.6.0_16" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode) I create dynamic links that let us not to modify scripts if I change Java versio ns. [root@neodoo-00 downloads]# mkdir /opt/java [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_16 /opt/java/jdk Next, I create the environment variables for Java [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ sudo vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh # # Java # JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386 #JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true" export JAVA_HOME PATH CLASSPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH #JAVA_OPTS I add execution permissions to the file. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/java.sh

And execute the file for update environment variables. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ . /etc/profile.d/java.sh This operation let us to maintain scripts intact and upgrade versions only chang ing dynamic links. [edit] Installing JBoss AS 5.1.x Now let's go to install JBoss AS. Download JBoss AS from JBoss.ORG. I have choose JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA (zip format). Because I have installed JDK6, I have downloaded jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip because the sources of the aplication server are compiled with JDK6. Also, you can use jboss-5.1.0.GA.zip which is compiled with JDK5 (forward compatibility). We uncompress zip file in /usr/java directory. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ unzip jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip -d /usr/java/ I create dynamic links that let us not to modify scripts if I change JBoss AS ve rsions. [root@neodoo-00 downloads]# ln -s /usr/java/jboss-5.1.0.GA /opt/java/jboss We create environment variables for JBoss [root@neodoo-02 ~]# vi /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh # # JBoss AS # JBOSS_HOME=/opt/java/jboss PATH=$PATH:$JBOSS_HOME/bin export JBOSS_HOME PATH I add execution permissions to the file. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh And execute the file for update environment variables. [root@neodoo-02 downloads]$ . /etc/profile.d/jboss.sh I create a new user called jboss and assign this user to jboss directory. Don't start JBoss AS with root user ! [root@neodoo-02 ~]# adduser jboss [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ chown -Rf jboss.jboss /opt/java/jboss/ You can start JBoss AS manually. [root@neodoo-00 bin]# su jboss [jboss@neodoo-02 bin]$ /opt/java/jboss/bin/run.sh By default, this is the same sentence than [jboss@neodoo-02 bin]$ /opt/java/jboss/bin/run.sh -b 127.0.0.1 -c default With this sentence, you will only access to JBoss AS from localhost. If you want to access from a remote IP, put -b 0.0.0.0 for any IP address (or -b you_ip_server). [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ /opt/java/jboss/bin/run.sh -b 0.0.0.0

By default, we use default profile which it corresponds to the directory $JBOSS_ HOME/server/default that JBoss AS uses. You will see a log detail from JBoss AS in the console and if JBoss AS starts OK , you will see something like this: 15:53:50,035 INFO [ServerImpl] JBoss (Microcontainer) [5.1.0.GA (build: SVNT ag=JBoss_5_1_0_GA date=200905221634)] Started in 1m:15s:485ms Once the server is raised, you can access to it in the url http://your_ip_server :8080 You can stop JBoss AS with CTRC-L o using this sentence in another console [jboss@neodoo-00 bin]$ ./shutdown.sh -S Now, we are going to create JBoss service. Remember to return to root user (exit ). [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ cd /opt/java/jboss/bin [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ cp jboss_init_redhat.sh /etc/init.d/jboss [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ chmod +x /etc/init.d/jboss I modify this file: [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ vi /etc/init.d/jboss # chkconfig: - 64 36 # description: Jboss Start Restart Stop Application Server # pidfile: /var/run/jboss.pid .... JBOSS_HOME=${JBOSS_HOME:-"/opt/java/jboss"} #define the user under which jboss will run, or use 'RUNASIS' to run as the c urrent user JBOSS_USER=${JBOSS_USER:-"jboss"} #make sure java is in your path JAVAPTH=${JAVAPTH:-"/opt/java/jdk"} #configuration to use, usually one of 'minimal', 'default', 'all' JBOSS_CONF=${JBOSS_CONF:-"default"} #if JBOSS_HOST specified, use -b to bind jboss services to that address JBOSS_HOST="0.0.0.0" JBOSS_BIND_ADDR=${JBOSS_HOST:+"-b $JBOSS_HOST"} ... Look that JBOSS_HOST corresponds to -c ip_server, JBOSS_CONF to -b profile and J BOSS_USER to user that starts JBoss AS like a service. We are going to add JBoss like a service. [root@neodoo-02 init.d]# chkconfig --add jboss [root@neodoo-02 init.d]# chkconfig --list [root@neodoo-02 init.d]# chkconfig jboss --level 3 on You can start JBoss AS [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ service jboss start If you can't access, verify you don't have any mistake or you have iptables on b

locking port 8080. [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop or check that your security allow tcp connection to port 8080 [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ system-config-securitylevel choose Customized from Graphical menu and insert 8080:tcp into Other ports You can stop JBoss AS [root@neodoo-02 bin]$ service jboss stop
