2.9. Installing Native Components and Utilities

Procedure 2.14. Download and Install Native Components

1. Download the Native Components package for your operating system and architecture from the Red Hat Customer Portal. You can download the packages from the same location specified in Section 2.3.1, “Download JBoss EAP 6 (Zip Installation)”.
2. Extract the downloaded Native Components zip archive over your JBoss EAP 6 installation.
   You can verify a successful extraction by checking if there is a new folder for your operating system and architecture in EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/web/main/lib/.
3. Using the Management CLI, activate the native components for the web subsystem with the following command:

   /subsystem=web:write-attribute(name=native,value=true)

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
4. Restart the JBoss EAP 6 server to apply the changes.

Procedure 2.15. Download and Install Native Utilities

1. Download the Native Utilities package for your operating system and architecture from the Red Hat Customer Portal. You can download the packages from the same location specified in Section 2.3.1, “Download JBoss EAP 6 (Zip Installation)”.
2. Extract the downloaded Native Components zip archive over your JBoss EAP 6 installation.
   You can verify a successful extraction by checking if there is native directory in EAP_HOME/modules/system/layers/base/.
3. Refer to procedures in the JBoss EAP documentation suite and on the Red Hat Customer Portal to configure specific native utilities features.

Procedure 2.16. Install Native Components and Native Utilities

1. Install native components and utilities

   To install native components and utilities in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7 (with their dependencies) run the following command using your administration account, replacing package_name with name of the native component which you need to install:

   yum install package_nameyum install package_name

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   You can install these native components: mod_cluster-native, mod_jk, mod_rt, mod_snmp, apache-commons-daemon-jsvc-eap6, httpd, httpd-devel, jbossas-hornetq-native, jbossas-jbossweb-native.

   Important

   The native components jbossas-hornetq-native and jbossas-jbossweb-native are installed by default when you run the yum groupinstall jboss-eap6 command to install JBoss EAP 6 group package. If you have used Section 2.6.7, “Install JBoss EAP 6 (Graphical RPM Installation)” or Section 2.6.8, “Install JBoss EAP 6 (Text-based RPM Installation)” for JBoss EAP 6 installation you need not install jbossas-hornetq-native and jbossas-jbossweb-native.

   Note

   It is important to give the correct package name in order to install a specific native component. Package names are case sensitive. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 the name of the httpd package is httpd22. Therefore the package httpd must be replaced with httpd22 when you run yum install package_name command for installing Apache HTTP server in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

2. Restart the server

   Restart the JBoss EAP 6 server to apply the changes
