There are different ways to install Symbolic. In downloads page you can find RPM, WAR and source files.
Symbolic requires func certmaster property configured.
Use the
official howto to configure it.
Before start to install symbolic you should have these packages installed:
- Java SDK: On Fedora just install java-1.7.0-icedtea-devel (on fedora 8) or java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel (on fedora 9), or, in alternative (on RHEL and previous fedora versions), the official java sun from the official website.
- Grails (RPM)
- JBoss Application Server (only if you are interested in WAR version)
After downloading RPM file you just need to call (from root user):
rpm -ivh symbolic-0.1.rpm
Now you have to check if JAVA_HOME (default for fedora8
is /etc/alternatives/java_sdk and on RHEL5 is /usr/java/latest)
and GRAILS_HOME (by default in both releases set to /usr/share/grails)
in init V script is property set (we will export these
settings to an external files next minor release).
By default with Fedora 8 package
To launch symbolic just type (from root)
Symbolic start in a while, if you want to have a brief information about execution, there is a log file in
WAR file is shipped with two others files: data source file
(symbolic-ds.xml) and config file (SymbolicConf.properties).
WAR and datasource should be putted into deploy application server directory
(for example $jboss_dir/server/$instance/deploy) and edited as your own.
Configuration files is optional: if you want to use (by copy or create it
into /etc/symbolic/ ), you may have ability to configure LDAP settings
and certmaster certificate directory. Without config file,
symbolic start with default settings.
You can get source from git repository
or snapshots. Symbolic is growing fast so we raccomend to use git.
To launch application, just unzip snapshot or clone/pull from GIT repository and enter
into program directory:
grails run-app
or typesymbolic
