Installation and Setup on Linux

Support November 03, 2009

Installation / Setup (Linux) 

Package files are available for installing to RedHat and Debian based distributions (e.g., Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, etc.).  Others can manually install the application using the tar file.  Untar the appropriate binary for your platform and copy it to /usr/local/bin (or whichever path you prefer to run it from).

You need to copy the junglediskserver-license-EXAMPLE.xml file (Download Here) to /etc/jungledisk/junglediskserver-license.xml and edit it to include your license key, which you can find at the Jungle Disk Site:

https://www.jungledisk.com/secure/account/subscriptions.aspx

After setting your license key, you can start the server by typing "sudo /usr/local/bin/junglediskserver".  You do NOT need to do this if you installed the RedHat or Debian package (the installation process adds junglediskserver to the list of applications that start on boot, and starts the service after installation).

If installed from the tar file, and you'd like to set up Jungle Disk Server to start automatically on bootup, there are example scripts for this purpose in the init_d_examples subdirectory.  Follow the readme file there for instructions on setting these up.

If your server does not appear in the Management Client there may have be an error on startup. Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/junglediskserver.log for more information.  Note that junglediskserver can be run with a "-d" option, which will put additional debugging information into the /var/log/junglediskserver.log file.  Make sure that you don't inadvertantly run more than one instance of junglediskserver (ps aux | grep junglediskserver will check for this).

After downloading the management client software for your platform, run the installer to install the software.
When starting the management client (which on Linux is called "junglediskservermanagement", you will need to log in with your Jungle Disk credentials, after which you will see a list of servers to manage. If you do not see your server in the list, check for potential startup issues on the server by following the directions above.
