2.5.5. Installing Enterprise Web Server from RPM Files

Before downloading and installing the RPM packages, register your system with Red Hat Network for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 and Red Hat Subscription Management for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and subscribe to the respective channels/repositories.

Note

If you are installing JBoss Enterprise Web Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, you must remove the tomcatjss package before installing the tomcat-native package. The tomcatjss package uses an underlying NSS security model rather than the OpenSSL security model.

Procedure 2.15. Removing tomcatjss Package

Follow this procedure to remove the tomcatjss package:
  1. At the shell prompt, become the root user.
  2. Run the following uninstall command: 
    # yum remove tomcatjss

Procedure 2.16. Subscribing to Red Hat Network Enterprise Channels

  1. Go to Red Hat Network Enterprise.
  2. Unsubscribe your system from the Red Hat Application Stack channel.
  3. Subscribe to the JBoss Enterprise Web Server channels (see Section 2.5.3, “RHN Channels for JBoss Enterprise Web Server Installation Packages”).

Procedure 2.17. Subscribing to Red Hat Subscription Management Repositories

  1. Go to Red Hat Subscription-Manager..
  2. Click on the appropriate Units or Subscription Management Applications.
  3. Subscribe to the JBoss Enterprise Web Server repositories (see Section 2.5.4, “Red Hat Subscription Management Repositories for JBoss Enterprise Web Server Installation Packages”).

Procedure 2.18. Installing Enterprise Web Server from RPM Packages

Install the respective packages (see Section 1.2, “Components” and Section 2.5.2, “RPM Packages” to identify the packages relevant for your installation):
  1. At the shell prompt, become the root user.
  2. To install JBoss Enterprise Web Server as a group of packages, run the installation command: 
    # yum groupinstall jboss-ews2
    • To install all packages in the group individually, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5: 
      # yum install <LIST_OF_PACKAGES>
      Substitute the <LIST_OF_PACKAGES> with names of the packages separated with spaces.
      To install all JBoss Enterprise Web Server packages, run this command: 
      # yum install httpd mod_auth_kerb mod_cluster mod_cluster-native mod_jk-ap22 mod_rt mod_snmp mod_cluster-tomcat6 mod_cluster-tomcat7 tomcat6 tomcat6-admin-webapps tomcat6-webapps tomcat7 tomcat7-admin-webapps tomcat7-webapps tomcat-native
  3. Verify the system is using the correct javac and java (for details see Procedure 2.3, “Installing Java”).
Install Optional Packages
