Linux install

[monkeyden]

Has anyone installed from the command line on Linux? I have to install JBoss for Seam apps remotely. Naturally, it's having a problem with the Swing/AWT stuff. Anyone know an alternative?

java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

This should help you:

http://docs.jboss.com/jbossas/guides/installguide/r1/en/html_single/#automated_install

In short: you either install locally with the GUI and then copy it over, or use the installation configuration script generated with said GUI installer to duplicate an installation or install entirely remotely but then you can only specify the profile & installation location but no enhanced parameters like security or datasource.

BTW: I like the "headless" exception :D
