4.3. Extracting and Installing Enterprise Web Server

Procedure 4.3. Extracting and Installing EWS from a ZIP File

1. At the shell prompt, become the root user.
2. Change to the directory with the ZIP file.
3. Run the following command to extract the package to opt:

   # unzip <FILE_NAME> -d /opt

   Substitute the <FILE_NAME> with the name of the downloaded ZIP file.

   Note

   The system uses the opt directory as a default directory for installing JBoss Enterprise Web Server on Solaris. Make sure the opt directory is present during installation.
4. Issue the following commands to run the post-installation scripts:

   cd /opt/jboss-ews-2.1/etc
   sh .postinstall.httpd
   sh .postinstall.tomcat
   

   The post-installation process creates the tomcat and apache users and groups, and directories:

   • The users and groups apache with an ID of 48 and tomcat with an ID of 91. The apache runs httpd, while the tomcat user runs tomcat.
   • Additional directories the tomcat group has write permissions to:
     • /var/logs/tomcat7
     • /var/logs/tomcat6
