AstRecipes » Installing Queuemetrics on Debian

First of all, make sure you have root privilege

Type the following commands:
Install Sun's Java SDK:

Prepare the environment to run Tomcat

Now install Tomcat itself:

Now, the default Tomcat in Debian comes with Java security enabled. This will make it not possible to read configuration files and Asterisk log files, so it must be turned off.

To do this, edit the /etc/init.d/tomcat5

Now you have a working Tomcat and Java subsystem, they are the toughest part of installing QueueMetrics. Now you must install QueueMetrics itself:

Follow the recipe Installing QueueMetrics from scratch from Configuring the MySQL database onwards.

Remember that to start Tomcat you must type /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start and to stop it /etc/init.d/tomcat5 stop.

Also remember that you should configure the environment variables JAVA_HOME and JAVA_OPTS at boot if you want your QueueMetrics instakll to start automatically.

The command used under debian for automatic rc startup is update-rc.d
