orange80's questions

Where can I add to my path that it will be available for all users, all shells, all the time. In this case I want /opt/grails/bin to always be available even when being run as tomcat user from jenkins.

There are 6+ files that you can stick this in, but I have yet in my years of being a software dev who occasionally handles Linux sysadmin tasks to find a clear explanation of where you do export PATH=$PATH:/opt/grails/bin
and have it available to every user, every type of shell, all the fXXXing time.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 if that matters.

Thanks

I'm trying to start glassfish on an EBS-based AMI of Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. I have used glassfish on non-ec2 servers with no problems, but on ec2 I get this message:

$ sudo -u glassfish bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.

I know that ec2 has requires that firewall rules be modified using ec2-authorize to let outside traffic thru the firewall, as I had to do to make ssh work. This still doesn't explain the port error when all I'm trying to do is start glassfish so I can try

$ wget localhost:8080

This is very frustrating and I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks.

FINAL UPDATE:
Sorry if you came here looking for answers. I never figured out what was causing the problem. I created another fresh instance, installed the same stuff, and Glassfish worked perfectly. Something obviously got boned during installation, but I have no idea what. I guess it will remain a mystery.

UPDATE: Here's what I get from netstat:

# netstat -nuptl

UPDATE: One more thing... I know that the "net.ipv6.bindv6only" kernel option can cause problems with java networking, so I did set this:

# sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0

UPDATE: I also verified that it has nothing at all to do with the port number (4848). As you can see here, when I changed the admin-listener port in domain.xml to 4949, I get a similar message:

# sudo -u glassfish bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
There is a process already using the admin port 4949 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.

UPDATE:
Here are the contents of /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

I should mention that I have another Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64-bit slice that is NOT hosted on ec2, and set it up the exact same way with no problems whatsoever.

Also server.log doesn't offer much insight either:

# cat ./server.log

Does anyone know how to do this? I just want a one-shot command to "update everything" over the command line? This is for a remote server so it must be over the command line.

I used:

$ sudo pkg list -u

to see the list of packages that are out of date, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to say, "ok, update them".

I have scoured the web for clues, but to no avail :(

This is classic Sun Solaris-type patching that is the exact reason I am now on Linux.

Please help!! Thanks :)

Do the recent Sun rackmount servers with ILOM fully support installation of Linux (Ubuntu or Fedora maybe) via the ILOM (connected by ssh) without having to hook up a display, kbd, and mouse?

I have an old Sun v20z right now that will install Solaris no problem over the Service Processor but when trying to install Ubuntu 9 64-bit server I get one line on the console then it goes blank.

I'd be interested in know which if any of the recent x64 models would allow me to install and run linux while completely avoiding any need for external display, keyboard, or mouse.

Thanks!
