[ApacheDS] Apache DS Linux binary installer - Testers needed
Hi everyone,
I'm finishing the Apache DS Linux binary installer.
It seems to work very good now. I need volunteers to test it on various
environment (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, Suse, Java 1.5.x, Java 1.6.x, etc.).
I tested it on my machine with Ubuntu 7.10 and Java 1.5.0_13.
For those who are interested in, the installer is located here:
http://people.apache.org/ <http://tr_1205232733231>
~pamarcelot/apacheds-linux-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT.bin<http://people.apache.org/%7Epamarcelot/apacheds-linux-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT.bin>
You can launch the installer like a classic executable file:
$ ./apacheds-linux-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT.bin
The installer will ask you four questions:
- Do you agree to the above license terms?
- Where do you want to install Apache DS?
- Where do you want to install Apache DS instances?
- What name do you want for the default instance?
There will be default values for the three last ones (for easy install).
This installer will install the following things on your system:
- ApacheDS data is installed in "/opt/apacheds-1.5.2-SNAPHOT" by
default or what you chose in the installer
- ApacheDS instances are installed in "/var/lib/apacheds-1.5.2-SNAPHOT"
by default or what you chose in the installer
- An init script will be installed in "/etc/init.d/apacheds-
1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-$INSTANCE" where $INSTANCE is the chosen name for the
default instance.
-
To start the server, run the following command:
$ /etc/init.d/apacheds-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-$INSTANCE start
To stop the server, run the following command:
$ /etc/init.d/apacheds-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-$INSTANCE stop
If you want the server to be automatically launched at boot, you can use
this command on a Debian based distribution:
$ sudo update-rc.d apacheds-1.5.2-SNAPSHOT-$INSTANCE default
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Regards,
Pierre-Arnaud

Yeah it was the 10389 port.
I had no log or error message to examine. I'll have to try running the init
script in debug/verbose mode (#!/bin/sh -X) to see what's going on.

No, because the default port is 10389/10686. There must be another
reason (like write access)

Hi,
Are there any plans on making a Solaris installer?
Also, see my comment below.

Maybe it doesn't have the proper privileges to bind to the network port(s)?
So I set the default user as root to ensure everything would be ok.

Hi Felix,
You're right to add this precision.
I tried to run the server with the apacheds user (that was created by the
installer if non-existent on the system) but I could not get it working.
So I set the default user as root to ensure everything would be ok.
I'll try to investigate more on this 'user issue' and update the script and
installer as soon as I can find a fix.
Thanks for you feedback,
Pierre-Arnaud

Hi Felix,
You're right to add this precision.
I tried to run the server with the apacheds user (that was created by the
installer if non-existent on the system) but I could not get it working.
So I set the default user as root to ensure everything would be ok.
I'll try to investigate more on this 'user issue' and update the script and
installer as soon as I can find a fix.
Thanks for you feedback,

I'd add a note in the end to make the user aware, that by default
ApacheDS will be run as user root (or add a new question 5th question
about the user ApacheDS shall run under - which must be created if not
yet existing).
Not every user is aware of the fact that in common services should not
be run as user root because of security reason.
The installation work well, I could start the app and didn't get
anything in the log directory. So I suppose that it wotked well.
