Debian Java Install on Sarge [fragment] [relevance: 3.75]

2007-09-14

I dont have a clue what im doing with Debian so im sticking it all here in no particular order

for sarge:

add to etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://oss.oracle.com/debian unstable main non-free
deb http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia sarge main
deb ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/debian-multimedia sarge main

then type apt-get update

installing java:

apt-get install java-package

gcc errors?
apt-get gcc install

download your JRE/JDK.bin to the director in which you are working then as a USER NOT ROOT (adduser blah - then follow prompts) type:

fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

or whatever ur bin is called.. if this bitches out with a module not found error your version of java-package is probably prior to 0.25 - you can check this by typing:

apt-cache policy java-package | head -2

at this stage you can try to find an up to date repository or you can just download a version of java-package higher than 0.24 and stick it in the directory then type:

dpkg -i java-package.deb

this might complain about unzip and soundlib.. to resolve this type:

apt-get -f install

this will resolve your dependency issues

now you should have a combiled JRE....deb sitting in your directory - if you dont then type

fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin

ok.. so far

now we have the .deb file you should just be able to type

dpkg -i jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.deb

and Java will be installed

type

java -version

to varify this

under debian enter the following command to make sure your compiler environment is working

set up your environment with
apt-get install libtool autoconf gcc apache2-prefork-dev
great.. now we are ready to compile

copy the tomcat source native directory over to the server and from within native/ run the following

make sure the support dir is sitting at the same level

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
make
make install

then after all that

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules

Or download a precomiled binary from http://mirror.public-internet.co.uk/ftp/apache/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/linux/jk-1.2.26/i386/

Debian Java/Tomcat Configuration on Sarge [relevance: 2]

2007-09-14

Following on from the previous article Java should now be located in

/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/bin

You will have to set up

JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME

these can be set in

/etc/environment

add the lines

JAVA_HOME = "/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun"
export JAVA_HOME

CATALINA_HOME= "/opt/Tomcat5.5/"
export CATALINA_HOME

or from the command line

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2re1.6-sun/

etc.

first we have to build mod_jk for our environment

refer to my other article on building mod_jk

put mod_jk.so into /etc/apache2/mods-available or wherever else you want and then refer to it in the apache conf stick this in your httpd.conf # Load mod_jk module # Specify the filename of the mod_jk lib LoadModule jk_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_jk.so then restart apache ./ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
