Forum Problems Installing LAMS: need help on LAMS

[ Reply | Forward ]

Hello Jeff,

This seems to be a problem we overlooked with Solaris unix commands, they do not allow the 'verbose' option (-v) for copying files.

We will look into fixing this, but for now I would suggest removing the -v option from the copy command in your script to see if that works.

1) open the file install-lams.sh (in the root directory of the install package) in a text editor

2) Find the line that says:
cp -rv assembly/lams.ear $JBOSS_DIR/server/default/deploy

3) Change it to:
cp -r assembly/lams.ear $JBOSS_DIR/server/default/deploy

4) Run the installer again
sudo ./install-lams.sh

Also, did you run your installer using sudo or with root permissions? It is required because the installer creates
a directory called lams2 in the protected /etc directory to store version and configuration files. This seems to have also failed for you:
>mkdir: "/etc/lams2": Permission denied
>cp: cannot create /etc/lams2/: Not a directory

You should make sure that either the current user has root permission or you use the sudo command to run the installer.

If you need more information about getting and using sudo for solaris check here: http://www.kempston.net/solaris/sudo.html

I hope this helps

Luke

thanks Luke for the reply sorry it took me awhile to update my problem on this, i cant install sudo on solaris i tried to run the ./configure but the make command is not working even the make install so i tried to make sa resolution on "/etc/lasm2" problem.

right now i did create a folder /etc/lams which owned by my "testuser" and it went well though here is the first and second result after running the install script

ive also changed my install script to

# Copying the main lams files
printf "Copying lams.ear directory to $JBOSS_DIR/server/default/deploy.\n"
cp -r assembly/lams.ear $JBOSS_DIR/server/default/deploy


here are the results:

Hi Jeff,

Could you please send me a zip of the jboss-4.0.2/server/default/logs directory? that might shed light on the problem here.

Other than that i would suggest installing without the wrapper, and using the ./run.sh command in the jboss bin dir.

Jeff,

From looking at your logs, it seems an instance of jboss was already running when you tried to run it again. Ie, even though LAMS wasnt working, the jboss server still started up.

It pays to check the server.log and the boot.log when starting jboss, if an error comes up here, it is likely that the LAMS initiation did not work.

Make sure jboss is not running before you attempt to start LAMS again. You can do this by running the following command in the jboss bin directory
./shutdown.sh

Then check that it has shutdown properly. Im not 100% sure this will work in Solaris, but In unix you can do this by typing this command.
ps -ef | grep java

This will show you all the java process currently running and their corresponding process id. If there is one or more java -server instances running you must kill them by typing
kill -9 [pid] (for UNIX)

I hope this helps

Ah, my apologies,

the correct command to stop jboss is:
./shutdown -S

I think it is:

./shutdown.sh -S
