Issue/Introduction

Solution

Background

The Layer 7 API Developer Portal appliance is not engineered to start the necessary server applications upon system initialization. This document will describe the steps necessary to meet this requirement and to ensure that these applications will rub upon system start.

Implementation

1. Log into the Gateway appliance as the ssgconfig user
2. Select Option #3: Use a privileged shell (root)
3. Enable the Apache httpd service:?chkconfig httpd on
4. Enable the Catalina application: echo "/opt/Deployments/lrs/server/bin/catalina.sh start" >> /etc/rc.local

Verification

The output of the following commands should appear as follows. Manual configuration of certain items may result in slight variations:

chkconfig --list httpd
httpd ? ? ? ? ? 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/opt/Deployments/lrs/server/bin/catalina.sh start
