Follow the instructions below to install CEP on Linux.
Extract the archive file to a dedicated directory for the CEP, which will hereafter be referred to as <CEP_HOME>
.
You must set your JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to the directory where the Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed on the computer.
Assuming you have JDK 1.6.0_25 in your system, add the following two lines at the bottom of the file, replacing /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25
with the actual directory where the JDK is installed.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25 export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
The file should now look like this:
Save the file.
If you do not know how to work with text editors in a Linux SSH session, run the following command: cat >> .bashrc
Paste the string from the clipboard and press "Ctrl+D."
JAVA_HOME
variable is set correctly, execute the following command: echo $JAVA_HOME
If you need to set additional system properties when the server starts, you can take the following approaches:
When using SUSE Linux, it ignores /etc/resolv.conf
and only looks at the /etc/hosts
file. This means that the server will throw an exception on startup if you have not specified anything besides localhost. To avoid this error, add the following line above 127.0.0.1 localhost
in the /etc/hosts
file:
<ip_address>
<machine_name> localhost
You are now ready to run the product.
