2.5. Installing Enterprise Web Server from RPM Packages
RPM installation integrates the JBoss Enterprise Web Server with the system and Tomcat and HTTP Server are installed as system services (you can run them as services from the command line).
Before installing JBoss Enterprise Web Server from RPMs, ensure that the prerequisites listed in Section 2.5.1, “RPM Installation Methods”. Also ensure the system is registered with Red Hat Network for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 and subscribed to the appropriate JBoss Enterprise Web Server channels (see Procedure 2.16, “Subscribing to Red Hat Network Enterprise Channels”). For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, ensure the system is registered with Red Hat Subscription Management and subscribed to the appropriate JBoss Enterprise Web Server repositories (see Procedure 2.17, “Subscribing to Red Hat Subscription Management Repositories”).
2.5.1. RPM Installation Methods
JBoss Enterprise Web Server can be installed in one of two ways:
- Using the
groupinstallcommand. This option installs all the packages required by JBoss Enterprise Web Server or JBoss Enterprise Web Server Plus. This option is recommended for new users. - Installing packages individually using the
yumcommand. This option allows the user to select which packages to install and allows the user to exclude packages that are not required for their specific installation. This option is not recommended for new users.
