Installing JBoss with an RPM

lazybee26 Aug 11, 2006 9:57 PM

We are starting a new project and have decided to use JBoss 4.0.4 AS.

Is there any resource where I can get a .rpm install file for JBoss 4.0.4?

I was not sure if http://www.jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=3513 is a reliable / good site to get the .rpm file from. Moreover they have rpm for 4.0.2 only which is like a year old version.

Is there any other resource ?

Thanks

Your best bet for Linux installation is to download and unpack the .zip binary from the downloads page (http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossas/download). The only prerequisite is that you need a JDK, either 1.4.2 or 5.0. Do not use the JDK that comes with your Linux distro. By the way, unpacking the zip file is the only step required to install JBoss AS.

Thanks Peter.

Our web app under JBOSS, is going to be deployed in multiple physical locations, and so I was hoping if I use YUM, then upgrading all locations with jboss upgrades would be easier, if i can do the installation using an RPM file with the help of YUM tool.
But I'm having a hard time finding a YUM repository with .RPM files for Jboss.
