Download the JDK 5.0 bin file from here. You want the version titled "Linux RPM in self-extracting file". You will need to accept the License Agreement towards the top of the page.

Install as follows. In this case we are using jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin.

Code: [Select]

# sh jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin

and scroll thru until you get to the "Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no]" and answer yes. After a little time the installation will complete.

We need to add the JDK directory to our path so we do as follows (remember - adjust your paths as required).

Code: [Select]

# ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06 /usr/java/jdk
# pico /etc/profile.d/java_env.sh

and paste in the following.

Code: [Select]

# java environment

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk"
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin


Do a Control-x and save.

Adjust the permissions of the file like so.

Code: [Select]

chmod 0755 /etc/profile.d/java_env.sh

Do a quick reboot to setup the correct PATH.

Download the latest jlibrary server package from here. I would suggest that you extract the file in /opt but it`s entirely up to you.

In this case we are using version jlibrary-server-1.0.3. Adjust your paths as required. Extract like so.

Code: [Select]

# tar -xzvf jlibrary-server-1.0.3.tar.gz

and run the startup file.

Code: [Select]

/opt/jlibrary-server/bin/startup.sh

You should be able to browse the documentation page at

http://ipaddress:8080/jlibrary/index.html


And thats all for the time being

I did get to that one before, I wasn't sure because of the different version

I'm using dansguardian on port 8080, anyone know how to do this?:

From jlibrary site: To do this, you only have to configure the internal Tomcat server. Refer to the tomcat documentation to find more information about how to do this

Thanks,
