Another Random Developer Blog

Welcome to my first blog entry. It’s about installing GlassFish v2 on Opensuse 10.1 with support for PHP5 and running on Port 80.

Note:
Download-links to all files are available at the end of this posting.

Install Java
First you need an installed Java SE Development Kit. I prefer the current version 6. Download JDK6 from: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/?intcmp=1281

Opensuse has very old versions in its repository. You can uninstall it using yast or if you have a virtual server, using plesk or confixx.
To check which version is currently installed, open a shell and run the command: java -version.

I will now continue with the installation of a brand new JDK. After you have downloaded the new JDK, switch to the directory and make it runable:

chmod 777 jdk-6u4-linux-i586.bin”

Now start the file:

./jdk-6u4-linux-i586.bin”

You see a License Agreement. Press Q and type yes to agree to the license. Now your JDK is unpacking. After this operation, move the new JDK-folder to /opt

Now change to /usr/lib/jvm
Run: ln -s /opt/jdk-6u4-linux-i586 java

Next, you will have to create an environment variable.
Edit the file /etc/profile

I recommend to use the midnight commander. Open the file and search for export PATH. After this line, insert:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java"
export JAVA_HOME
PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java/bin"
export PATH

To check if everything is alright, type java -version.

Install GlassFish2
Ok, first step is finished, now let’s go to the second step - installing GlassFish2!

Download Glassfish here: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/
Give it the needed rights:
chmod 777 glassfish-installer-v2ur1-b09d-linux.jar

and start the installer:
java -Xmx256m -jar glassfish-installer-v2ur1-b09d-linux.jar

You will see a license message. If you are using KDE or Gnome, watch for a small window popup.
When the unpacking is finished, change to the created directory: cd glassfish

Run: ./lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml

If you have errors, uninstall any existing ANT-versions. GlassFish2 is delievered with an own ANT-version.
So, installation of GlassFish2 is nearly finished. You can start GlassFish2 with the command:

./bin/asadmin start-domain domain1

and stop it with:

./bin/asadmin stop-domain domain1

To see the Glassfish2 Testpage, just browse to:

http://localhost:8080

To access the Server Admin Console, browse to:

http://localhost:4848

Change Port from 8080 to 80
Login to the Server Admin Console
http://localhost:4848

User Name: admin
Password: adminadmin

Navigate to:

Configuration->HTTP Service->HTTP Listeners->http-listener-1

change the Listener Port from 8080 to 80.

Shutdown Glassfish2 and restart it. That’s it!

Install PHP5 Support
Download Qercus 3.1.3 Binary from: http://quercus.caucho.com/
Extract the included JAR’s (quercus.jar, resin-util.jar, script-10.jar)
and move them to: /opt/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/

Now create a test-application with your favourite IDE. I prefer Netbeans 6. You need a special WEB.XML :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
  version="2.5">
  <description>Caucho Technology's PHP Implementation, Running on GlassFish Java EE 5</description>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.caucho.quercus.servlet.QuercusServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Quercus Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.php</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

Deploy the WAR in the Server Admin Console. Navigate to: Applications->Web Applications->Deploy

Finished!
