[Topic] Fedora Core Linux Server Installation

Call me stupid, but I can't find the installation and/or configuration instructions for the Linux server version. Where am I not looking?

Thanks!

At the moment it looks like there aren't any published instructions. There had been instructions previously, but the agiletrack.org website was revised to focus on the client. The server setup guide is being recreated, but isn't available anywhere. Sorry.

Setup should be pretty simple though.

First, run the "install-detect-java" script. The other install scripts just create some symlinks in /usr/bin or some place like that. You don't need to run them unless you want some the executables available in the path.

Then, to configure it, run "agiletrack-server.sh -g" and that should bring up a GUI configuration that you can use to set up your database settings. Alternatively, you could just duplicate the "agiletrack.conf.sample" file and call it "agiletrack.conf". Editing the configuration file is somewhat self-explanatory.

After configuration, you should be able to run the server by calling "agiletrack-server start" to run as a daemon, or "agiletrack-server console" to run it in you current session. To stop or restart it, use "agiletrack-server stop" and "agiletrack-server restart".

That should be enough to get you started. Good luck.

I seem to have gotten the server to strt okay, and it appears to have set up the MySQL database alright. When I try to connect to it, though, I get a 404 message:

Error 404 – Not Found.
No context on this server matched or handled this request.
Contexts known to this server are:
HttpContext[/,/]
The links above may not work if a virtual host is configured

Is this some other HTTP server (like Apache) getting in my way?

AgileTrack doesn't have a web interface right now, so there wouldn't be anything you could do from a browser.

To test the server, you'll need to download the agiletrack-xmlrpc.jar or agiletrack-jsonrpc.jar from the download page, and place it in the lib directory of your client installation. Then launch the client and open "Settings…". In there, you'll need to select XML-RPC or JSON-RPC over HTTP and put in the path—e.g. http://server.ip.address/xmlrpc or http://server.ip.address/jsonrpc. At that point, you should be able to say "Ok" and login using admin/admin.
