How to Install GlassFish ESB on CentOS / Red Hat / Fedora
I did my installation on a CentOS 5.4 and I confirm all works, just follow
step-by-step.
Download JDK 6u12
# cd /usr
# wget http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin?BundledLineItemUUID=wFlIBe.lB8gAAAElzSEadwyv&OrderID=8fxIBe.lQPoAAAEluyEadwyv&ProductID=1O1IBe.pLl4AAAEerDlTv_an&FileName=/jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin
Download GlassFish 2.1
# wget http://dlc-cdn.sun.com/jbi/binaries/glassfishesb/v2.1/promoted/rc2/glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-linux.sh
Check current Java Version
# java -version
java version “1.6.0”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b09)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0-b09, mixed mode)
# chmod +x /usr/jdk*
# ./usr/jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin
Accept License, and enter
Adjust path
#vim /etc/profile
#OPENMQ_HOME=/home/mcf/MessageQueue/mq
JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk1.6.0_12
PATH=/usr/jdk1.6.0_12/bin:$PATH
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.:$JAVA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/lib:$OPENMQ_HOME/lib/jms.jar:$OPENMQ_HOME/lib/fscontext.jar:$OPENMQ_HOME/lib/imq.jar:$OPENMQ_HOME/lib
#CARBON_HOME=/home/mcf/wso2greg-3.0.0
#export OPENMQ_HOME CARBON_HOME
export PATH CLASSPATH JAVA_HOME
:wq
You may need to logout and login then:
# java -version
java version “1.6.0_12”
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode)
Create user
# adduser esb
# passwd esb
# mkdir /usr/local/GlassFishESBv21
# mkdir /home/esb
# chown esb:root -R /usr/local/GlassFishESBv21
# mv /usr/glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-linux.sh /home/esb
# chown esb:root -R /home/esb/GlassFishESBv21
# chmod 755 -R /home/esb/GlassFishESBv21
Add it to sudoers just for now
# vim /etc/sudoers
esb ALL=GRANT(ALL) ALL
:wq
Login into the Gnome interface localy (via VNC wont work)
with the esb user execute from /home/esb
# sudo bash glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-linux.sh
On the install GUI
Set NetBeans IDE to:
/usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/netbeans
Set Install GlassFish to:
/usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish
Now lets configure the service to autostart
# cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
# vim glassfish
#Script to start/stop/restart GlassFish
# chkconfig: 35 20 80
# description: GlassFish ESB 2.1 Daemon
GFPATH=/usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish/bin
case “$1″ in
start)
${GFPATH}/asadmin start-database
${GFPATH}/asadmin start-domain domain1
;;
stop)
${GFPATH}/asadmin stop-database
${GFPATH}/asadmin stop-domain domain1
;;
restart)
${GFPATH}/asadmin stop-domain domain1
${GFPATH}/asadmin start-domain domain1
;;
*)
echo $”Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}”
exit 1
esac
# chkconfig –add glassfish
# chkconfig –level 35 glassfish on
# service glassfish start
Once the service start it Should Display:
Starting database in the background.
Log redirected to /usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish/databases/derby.log.
Command start-database executed successfully.
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Default Log location is /usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
Redirecting output to /usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
Domain domain1 is ready to receive client requests. Additional services are being started in background.
Domain [domain1] is running [Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v2.1 (9.1.1) (build b60e-fcs)] with its configuration and logs at: [/usr/local/GlassFishESBv21/glassfish/domains].
Admin Console is available at [http://localhost:4848].
Use the same port [4848] for “asadmin” commands.
User web applications are available at these URLs:
[http://localhost:8080 https://localhost:8181 ].
Following web-contexts are available:
[/web1 /__wstx-services ].
Standard JMX Clients (like JConsole) can connect to JMXServiceURL:
[service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://SERVERESB:8686/jmxrmi] for domain management purposes.
Domain listens on at least following ports for connections:
[8080 8181 4848 3100 3820 3920 8686 ].Domain does not support application server clusters and otherstandalone instances.
To login via web go to
http://<serverIP>:4848
Notes:
Remeber to open firewall for ports required
Check with ps if service is running

Very helpful. You have our thanks. The service script example was a real time saver.
A couple suggestions for other readers and a possible edit:
* Be cautious of cutting and pasting smart quotes from web pages into shell scripts.
* The last two lines of the service script example should probably be three lines…
Instead of
exit 1
esac
we suggest
exit 1
;;
esac
This article was very helpful.
Some additions, don’t forget to make the glassfish startscript executable:
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/glassfish
And it is not wise to run the application server as root. To run as eg user “glassfish”, follow these steps (CentOS):
1. # adduser -M –shell /bin/false glassfish
2. # chown -R glassfish:glassfish /opt/
3. Modify the startscript and add “sudo -u glassfish” in front of all asadmin commands.
I’ve the next message when I run the installation script ¿Any idea?
Configuring the installer…
Searching for JVM on the system…
Extracting installation data…
Installer file /home/esb/glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-linux.sh seems to be corrupted
