Install and Setup JBOSS server on Redhat Linux

What is JBOSS ?

JBOSS is an application server. It is a free java base application software. Because it is java base  , the JBOSS application server operates cross platforms, usable on only opearting system which supports java.

Following are the steps for installing and setting up JBOSS.

1. First Download JDK (Java Development Kit)

2.Download JBoss application server.

1. Download JDK package from sun.com

2. I have downloaded JDK 6 update 7 i.e jdk-6u7-linux-i586.rpm.bin.

3 . Go to the install directory. I have downloaded into /usr/local

#  cd /usr/local

# chmod 755 jdk-6u7-linux-i586.rpm.bin

# ./jdk-6u7-linux-i586.rpm.bin

# cd /usr/local/jdk1.6.0_07

The Java has been install. To check it run the following command

# java – version

The output will give you java version number.

2. Now next step is to download JBOSS.

I downloaded 4.2.3.GA version.

The download file will be in zip format

jboss-4.2.3.GA.zip

Create a directory /usr/lib/jboss

Copy the download in /usr/lib/jboss

#cp jboss-4.2.3.GA.zip /usr/lib/jboss/

# cd /usr/lib/jboss

# unzip jboss-4.2.3.GA.zip

# cd  jboss-4.2.3.GA

# cd bin

# ./run.jar

It will execute . By default jboss will run on 127.0.0.1.

To change it to your IP address

# cd /java/lib/jboss/jboss-4.2.3.GA.zip/bin

# ./run.jar -b IP address all

Put your IP address .
