OpenFM Quick Installation Notes

Wednesday Feb 28, 2007

  • Grab openfm.war from opensso.dev.java.net
  • In WS 7.0 create a new listener called fm or use web container of your choice.
  • Deploy openfm.war to container
  • Hit the deployed URL with web browser, it takes you to configurator.jsp
  • Fill in the information, hit save, configuration failed.
  • Looked at the webserver error log, apparently it is trying to create a directory /AccessManager.
  • Realized that the user under which web server is running is webservd and by default the home directory for it is "/".
  • Changed the home directory of webservd to /home/webservd, restarted the container
  • Hit the configurator again, this time success!
