P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1 installation instructions

1  P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1

2  P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1 System Requirement

3  Installing and running P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1

3.1  Solaris, HP-UX and Linux

1. Change directory to where you want to install P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1; in the following, we'll call this directory the installation directory, or <inst-dir>.

2. Retrieve the Unix distribution kit for V.2.1.1 into the installation directory:

3. If the Java Runtime Environment is installed on your system and accessible from your account, skip this step.
   You can verify the JRE installation by trying to run the
       jre -help
   command -- it must correspond to V.1.1.7 or later.

   If needed, you can retrieve V.1.1.7 of the Java Runtime Environment for your architecture into the installation directory: Solaris, HP-UX or Linux.

4. Retrieve into the installation directory all the available Instrument Packages. See the USG Instrument Packages Web page for more information.

5. Run the following sequence of commands:
       gunzip -c p2pp-appserver-2.1.1.tar.gz | tar xovf -
    rm -f current-appserver
    ln -s p2pp-appserver-2.1.1 current-appserver
    cd p2pp-appserver-2.1.1
    make

6. Add the following lines to your crontab file (see the crontab(1) man page for details):

   15          0  *  *  *  <inst-dir>/current-appserver/bin/housekeeping.sh >> <inst-dir>/logs/housekeeping.log 2>&1
0,15,30,45  *  *  *  *  <inst-dir>/current-appserver/bin/p2pp-appserver.sh -check >> <inst-dir>/logs/check-running.log 2>&1


   The first line will run a housekeeping script script about midnight every day - to rotate logfiles, restart the server, etc.
   The second line will check every fifteen minutes if the server is actually running, and restart it if not. This completes the installation process.

   Note: P2PP Application Server V.2.1.1 is actually implemented as two concurrent processes - an RMI registry listener and the application server process itself. The processes can be controlled manually using the p2pp-appserver.sh script in the <inst-dir>/p2pp-appserver-2.1.1/bin directory.
   The script's help message is reported below:

   Usage: p2pp-appserver.sh [-v|-verbose] [-r|-restart] [-ck|-check] [-k|-kill] [-d|-debug]
           -r  -restart    kill and restart the servers
           -ck -check      restart if not already running
           -k  -kill       kill the servers
           -d  -debug      just show what would be executed
           -v  -verbose    produce verbose output
   	

   Note that exactly one of the -r, -ck or -k options must be specified.

3.2  Win32
