Configure CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1

After you have installed VMware Player, configure the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 VMware image.

1. Log in with the username root and the password sourceforge.
2. Enter and confirm a new Linux password.
   Note: The system may warn that your password does not meet security standards. For example, it may be too short. This does not mean the password is rejected. If you confirm the same password, it will work.
3. When prompted to run the configuration tool, type y.
4. Read the product license agreement. Type q to close it.
   Tip: You can use the space bar to advance a screen at a time.
5. If you accept the license terms, type y.
6. In the CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 configuration tool, choose Dynamic Networking (DHCP) or Static Networking (Static IP)
   • Dynamic networking is useful for a one-person trial installation. It is quick and easy, but email integration with SourceForge will not work correctly.
   • Static networking is best if you are evaluating CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 with a team, or if you already have a license and intend to use SourceForge to support your team.

     To configure static networking, you will need to get a static IP address and hostname from your network administrator, and specify your network settings when prompted.

     Note: In this case, it's also a good idea to run SourceForge in VMware Player on a dedicated machine.
   The networking for SourceForge is restarted.
7. Specify your outgoing email (SMTP) server.
   • For a one-person evaluation, accept the default value.
   • If you have a CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 license and intend to send email outside of your firewall, use the SMTP server settings provided by your network administrator.
     Note: Depending on your corporate email configuration, your system administrator may need to permit SourceForge to send mail to the corporate mail server.
8. Choose whether to run CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 at startup.
   • Choose “Yes” to start CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 automatically whenever you start the SourceForge VMware image.
   • Choose “No” to require a manual CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 startup whenever you start the SourceForge VMware image.
9. At the prompt, click Enter to start your CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 site.
   Note: Startup can take several minutes, depending on the speed of the host system. On some slower systems, 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.

10. Log into the site and verify that things are working.
    • By default, the URL to log into is the machine name of the server on which your site is installed. If you provided a value for the DOMAIN variable in the site-options.conf file, then go to that domain to log in.
    • The initial administrator username is admin and the password is admin. You are required to change the password the first time you log in.
    • It's a good idea to stop CollabNet SourceForge Enterprise 5.1 and reboot the machine to make sure all services come up at startup.
