Installing GlobalSight on Ubuntu

This guide describes how to install GlobalSight application server on Ubuntu server. If not specified, the Ubuntu Server is 14.04 LTS version. This guide has been updated to cater for GlobalSight version 8.6.6.

Important: beginning with Ubuntu 15.04 version, system and service manager systemd is used as default system init daemon. Unfortunately, the GlobalSight daemon globalsight cannot work properly with systemd. Installing GlobalSight on Ubuntu Server 15.04 and above version is not recommended.

Prerequisites

• The GlobalSight software package for Ubuntu has been downloaded as described in Installing GlobalSight.
• Third-party components have been installed as described in Installing Third-party Components for GlobalSight on Ubuntu.
• The current user has sudo privilege.
• The GlobalSight Software Package for Ubuntu has been downloaded and unzipped.

  Type: jar xvf GlobalSight_Software_Package_Linux_8.6.6.zip

Unzipping creates the following folders:

• 3rd_party_software
• 64_bit_3rd_parth_software
• Converters
• DesktopIcon
• GlobalSight

Some features in GlobalSight require running Java plugin on browsers, but now they cannot work on lately Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox versions. We recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer to perform related jobs. These Java Applet components will be removed from GlobalSight gradually.

Installing the GlobalSight core application

Pre-installation procedures

1. Ensure that $JAVA_HOME is in your PATH variable

   Type: echo $JAVA_HOME

   The expected result should look like below:

   Example: /usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_45

   Type: echo $PATH

   The expected result should look like below:

   Example: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/java/jdk1.8.0_45/bin

2. Ensure that you can access the GlobalSight database from the MySQL command line tool. The GlobalSight installer uses command 'mysql' to connect to the MySQL database server and to create tables for the GlobalSight application.

   Type: mysql -u <globalsight_user_name> -p <globalsight_database_name> -h <mysql_hostname_or_ip_ address> -P <mysql_port>

   Example: MySQL -uglobalsight -p globalsight -hlocalhost -P 3306

3. Create a user called jboss for the GlobalSight core application

   Type: sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash jboss

   Type: sudo passwd jboss

   Type: sudo adduser jboss sudo

4. Log in as user jboss

   Type: su -l jboss

5. Unjar GlobalSight.zip to /home/jboss directory

   Type: mkdir GlobalSight && cd GlobalSight

   Type: jar xvf /path/to/GlobalSight.zip

6. Go to the install script directory and add the executable attribute to script file Install.sh

   Type: cd <globalsight_home_directory>/install

   Example: cd /home/jboss/GlobalSight/install

   Type: chmod u+x Install.sh

   Note: we will call the GlobalSight core application directory as <globalsight_home_directory> later.

7. Create GlobalSight documents and file storage directory

   Type: mkdir -p /path/to/globalsight/docs/and/filestorage/directory

   Assume that we create two directories named 'docs' and 'filestorage' under directory '/home/jboss/welocalize/', the command will be:

   Example: mkdir -p /home/jboss/welocalize/{docs,filestorage}

   If you also need create directory for GlobalSight converters, you can use command like below:

   Example: mkdir -p /home/jboss/welocalize/{docs,filestorage,winfiles}

   Note: we will call the documents directory as <globalsight_document_directory>, and file storage directory as <globalsight_filestorage_directory> later.

8. Update GlobalSight daemon template file <globalsight_home_directory>/jboss/util/bin/service.sh.template

   Insert -c ${JBOSS_USER} -d ${JBOSS_HOME} between --background and --user

   Example: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background -c ${JBOSS_USER} -d ${JBOSS_HOME} --user ${JBOSS_USER} --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh

   Example: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background -c ${JBOSS_USER} -d ${JBOSS_HOME} --user ${JBOSS_USER} --exec ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/jboss-cli.sh -- --connect command=:shutdown

   Note: this modification ensures that GlobalSight daemon are always running as user jboss.

Installing GlobalSight core application

1. Run the install script

   Type: sudo PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH ./Install.sh

   Note: you can expand above command to sudo PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH ./Install.sh | tee globalsight_install.log. The command redirects output on the Console to file globalsight_install.log. It may help you identify errors if GlobalSight installation fails.

Post-installation procedures

Change the ownership of GlobalSight application

1. Set jboss as the owner of GlobalSight application server

   Type: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss <globalsight_home_directory>

   Example: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss /home/jboss/GlobalSight

2. Set jboss as the owner of GlobalSight documents and file storage directory

   Type: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss <globalsight_document_directory>

   Type: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss <globalsight_filestorage_directory>

   Example: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss /home/jboss/welocalize/docs

   Example: sudo chown -R jboss:jboss /home/jboss/welocalize/filestorage

Set the start and stop service script executable

Type: sudo chmod u+x <globalsight_home_directory>/jboss/server/bin/standalone.sh

Example: sudo chmod u+x /home/jboss/GlobalSight/jboss/server/bin/standalone.sh

Type: sudo chmod u+x <globalsight_home_directory>/jboss/server/bin/jboss-cli.sh

Example: sudo chmod u+x /home/jboss/GlobalSight/jboss/server/bin/jboss-cli.sh

Configuring GlobalSight Web Services (optional)

The Web services API allows any client, regardless of implementation technology or operating system, to connect and exchange data with GlobalSight. Thus you can specify the IP addresses that are allowed to connect to GlobalSight.

To configure IP filters for Web services

1. Log in to the GlobalSight as super administrator user
2. Click Remote IP Filter for Webservices on home page
3. Click New to add the remote IP address information

   

   
   

   Note: You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard in IP addresses. For example, the IP address 192.168.1.* allows all network IP addresses that begin with 192.168.1 to use GlobalSight Web services.

4. Click Save

When create a new company, make sure that Enable IP Filter option is enabled. Then IP filters will take effect for that company.

Configuring Samba server (optional)

To work with GlobalSight converters installed on Windows system, you may need configure a Samba server to share files on Ubuntu server.

Prerequisites

• Make sure Samba server is installed

  Type: smbd -V

  To install Samba server

  Type: sudo apt-get -y install samba

• The current user has sudo privilege to modify Samba configuration file

To configure Samba

The main configuration file for Samba server is /etc/samba/smb.conf. You need sudo privilege to edit it.

Samba configuration varies as different network and security levels.

• Below example assume that your GlobalSight application works in a Windows workgroup. And only computers installed the converters can connect to GlobalSight application server.
  1. Update or add below lines under [global] section

     workgroup = <your_workgroup_name>, replace <your_workgroup_name> with the real workgroup name

     netbios name = <hostname>, replace <hostnamee> with the short hostname of Ubuntu server

     security = user

     wins server = <wins_server_ip_address>, replace <wins_server_ip_address> with the real ip address of WINS server

  2. Set shared directory that GlobalSight converters will use for processing files

     [<Name>], replace <Name> with a meaningful name of your shared directory

     path = /path/to/conversion/directory, the absolute path to conversion directory, and it should matches the directory settings when you install GlobalSight

     browseable = yes

     writeable = yes

     guest ok = yes

     force user = jboss

     hosts allow = <allowed_ip_addresses>, replace <allowed_ip_addresses> with real ip addresses, for example, 192.168.1.0/24 allows connections from private networks 192.168.1.

     hosts deny = <denied_ip_addresses>, replace <denied_ip_addresses> with real ip addresses, for example, 0.0.0.0/0 refuses all connections from other computers.

  • The whole settings are as follows:

    [global]

    workgroup = GLOBALSIGHT

    netbios name = GSVM1

    security = user

    wins server = 192.168.1.1

    [converter1]

    browseable = yes

    writeable = yes

    guest ok = yes

    force user = jboss

    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/24

    hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0

    Note: the jboss user must have the read/write privileges for the shared directory.

• Another example allows Samba connection with user authentication, only user jboss allowed.

  [global]

  workgroup = GLOBALSIGHT

  netbios name = GSVM2

  security = user

  encrypt passwords = yes

  valid users = jboss

  wins server = 192.168.1.1

  [converter2]

  browseable = yes

  writeable = yes

  guest ok = no

  Note: you should set a Samba connection password for user jboss, make sure it differs from the password for system login.

  Type: sudo smbpasswd -d jboss

• Verify no errors in the configuration

  Type: testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf

• Restart Samba to make the configuration take effect

  Type: sudo service smbd restart

• Verify the shared directory in Windows Explorer

  Type the following link in Windows Explorer to open the shared folder

  \\<ubuntu_server_hotname_or_ip>\<shared_folder_name>

  Example: \\192.168.1.29\converter

If your GlobalSight application server is a domain member of your organization, read Part II. Server Configuration Basics - Chapter 6. Domain Membership for the Samba configuration example.
