Console based installation

RPM based distributions

RPM distribution

The RPM package was created for the following distributions:

  • RedHat RHEL4, SuSE SLES 9.

 

Except of the RPM post install/uninstall scripts (responsible boot integration), WebCFG  do not depend on any distribution. There is no RPM dependence to any other RPM packages.

 

Installation

To install WebCFG-bundle RPM-package, please download it and do the following steps:

  • Install this RPM package as root
    rpm --install WebCFG-bundle.rpm

  • The installation process (rpm post install script) will
    • install the program files to /opt/WebCFG-bundle
    • install WebCFG as a boot service in /etc/init.d called "webcfg"
    • starts WebCFG

 



Debian system

We do not ship a debian deb-package, but you can create it quiete easily yourself:

  • download the RPM package
  • convert the rpm package as root with alien. Please take care of the space in your working directory (should be more than 200 MB)

    # maybe you should install alien from your repository server
    apt-get get alien

    # convert WebCFG-bundle.rpm- to a deb-package
    alien --keep-version --scripts WebCFG-bundle-installer.rpm

    # install the new debian package
    dpkg -i webcfg-bundle-x.y.deb


We tried this with debian sarge and etch distribution.

 



Existing servlet container

Please install WebCFG on your system like descibed in the "easy way". After this, take the webapp located in

INSTALLATIONDIR/deployments/WebCFG.war

and deploy it to your container.

Now, you have to configure WebCFG by editing webcfg.xml
