How to install GlashFish Server on linux?

Installing GlassFish Server on Linux

1)    Install JDK on a system and set JAVA_HOME environmental variable.

       If you don't have GlassFish server, U can download GlassFish Server from following location.

       http://java.net/download/javaee5/v2_branch/promoted/Linux/glassfish-installer-v2-b58g.jar

2)    Run:

       java -Xmx256m -jar filename.jar

      This will extract jar file and create a new directory structure rooted under a directory named 'glassfish'.   

3)    cd glassfish

       Change Directory to GlassFish.

4)    If you are using a machine with an operating system that is a derivative of UNIX(tm), set the execute permission for the Ant binaries that are included with the GlassFish bundle.

      chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
 
       lib/ant/bin/ant -f setup.xml

      OR for Windows:

      lib\ant\bin\ant -f setup.xml

5)     Start the server using the asadmin command. For that be maybe you first have to change the current directory to /glassfish/bin.

 
6)    next start the database
        
      asadmin> start-database

7)   and finally you can start the server...

       asadmin> start-domain domain1

      You can access your default page at

        http://localhost:8080/

8)   The server is now up and running. You can log into the web admin interface by the following url:

       http://localhost:4848

      Login as Admin - userid="admin", password ="adminadmin"
