Start CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 manually

If you configured CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 to start manually, start it after the SourceForge VMware image finishes booting.

1. Log in as the root user.
2. When prompted to run the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 configuration tool, type N, then hit Enter to confirm. Your CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 configuration information and the URL for your CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 instance appear.
3. If SELinux is running, modify it to allow the services SourceForge requires.
   1. Change the context for your local Subversion repository.
      • chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /svnroot
   2. Change the context for your local CVS repository, if you have one.
      • chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /cvsroot
   3. Change the context of the Subversion repository that handles the branding (look and feel) of your site.
      • chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /sf-svnroot
      • chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /usr/local/sourceforge/var/overrides
4. Start the Apache web server.
   • /etc/init.d/httpd start
5. Start the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 application.
   • /etc/init.d/collabnet start
   Note: Startup can take several minutes, depending on the speed of the host system.

   You may get a false failure message from JBoss, like this:

   jboss (app) (localhost:8080)
           ............................failed to start in 240 seconds, giving up now. Please check the
           log: /usr/local/sourceforge/log/apps/service.log FAILED

   This can safely be ignored.
   Any user with access to the network where the host system is running can now get to your site via a Web browser.
6. Advise your site's users to refresh their browser cache the first time they log into the new site. Use language like this:

   "Welcome to your newly upgraded CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.0 site. This release comes with a brand new look and feel designed to make your experience more productive and intuitive. To make sure you are able to view all the new UI elements, please start by pressing Ctrl-F5 to refresh your browser."

   Tip: You can use your site's Project News feature to do this. See Post a news item.
