Documentation fixing/improvement

Hello RHQ community,

I just followed the documentation to install RHQ 4.9 from scratch on one machine.

A few points that I came across:

On Installing the server:

In the section of the Quick Installation Steps it says that for the password generation

one can use rhq-encode-password.[sh,bat]

This seems to be outdated and replaced with rhq-installer.sh --dbpassword=[password]

The file rhq-storage.properties is not coming with the package downloaded from sourceforge.

Is there a mistake in the package or in the documentation?

On Running the RHQ Server:

Service Installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2

1. Copy the rhq-server.sh script into the /etc/init.d directory.

I presume this should read rhqctl instead of rhq-server.sh

How do you usually go about changes in the documentation?

Does someone update it if these are valid corrections?

You are reading the "master" docs - the "RHQ" space, which are the latest and greatest docs, corresponding to the master branch and the current builds.

You are using 4.9, so you will want to read the RHQ49 space, which has the older docs.

Here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ49/Installing+the+Server

(notice the "RHQ49" in the URL, that's our RHQ 4.9 doc space)
