StruxureWare Portal 1.3.7 Linux installer problems and solutions

[DCIM_Support]

I reference to my previous question: StruxureWare Portal 1.3.4 - services are not starting automatically

I still had problem with portal version 1.3.7 installation on Oracle Linux. I share this information to the develepers or anyone else who has similar problem on RedHat.

First of all Oracle Linux is fully (binary) compatible with RedHat. I think I don't have to introduce this distribution which is widely used as an enterprise linux operating system.

My first concern is that install script contains the following rows:

 fi

	yum localinstall -y chkconfig-1.3.49.3-2.el6_4.1.x86_64.rpm 

  else

	echo "running debian-release"

In case of redhat-release it will install chkconfig-1.3.49.3-2.el6_4.1.x86_64.rpm from the zip. It is not an elegant way because in enterprise environment we don't want to change this important package. In my case the installer replaced a newer version to this old one.

Might be good take into consideration to use a condition to check it in the script that chkconfig is already exist or not and if it is installed do not overwrite any other version.

The second problem is might coming from the previous problem: install.sh doesn't setup properly liferay-tomcat and postgresql-9.1 as autostartup services. The result is that after a server reboot StruxureWare will not load and run.

Here is my solution:

chkconfig --add liferay-tomcat

chkconfig postgresql-9.1 on

Even if the following command is in the script: /sbin/chkconfig liferay-tomcat it might not the proper usage of chkconfig because it worked for me only with --add switch.

The script doesn't contain anywhere to setup postgres as autostart which is a huge mistake because without that the whole web application is not starting and working.
