Installing GlobalSight on Ubuntu

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 user has sudo privileges
• The GlobalSight Software Package for Ubuntu has been downloaded and unzipped
  • Type: unzip GlobalSight_Software_Packages_Linux_8.5.zip

Unzipping creates the following folders:

• 3rd_party_software
• Aligner
• Converters
• DesktopIcon
• GlobalSight

Note that GlobalSight 8.5 support Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome at the moment. Some functions may only work in compatibility mode on Internet Explorer 10.

Installing the GlobalSight files

To install the GlobalSight files:

1. Ensure that $JAVA_HOME is in your PATH
   • For example: echo $JAVA_HOME
   • /usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_21
   • For example: echo $PATH
     • /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_21/bin
2. Ensure that <MySQL_ROOT>/bin is in your PATH and that you can access the GlobalSight MySQL Server from the MySQL command line. The GlobalSight installer uses this to connect to the MySQL database server to create tables for the GlobalSight application
   • For example: echo $PATH
     • /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/local/java/jdk1.7.0_21/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin
3. Create a user called “jboss” for the GlobalSight system as follows:
   • Type: sudo useradd jboss –m –s /bin/bash
   • Type: sudo passwd jboss
   • Type: sudo adduser jboss sudo
4. Login as user jboss
5. Copy and unzip GlobalSight.zip to /home/jboss directory
   • Type: sudo unzip GlobalSight.zip –d /home/jboss/GlobalSight
6. Go to the installation directory (for example /home/jboss/GlobalSight/install) and add the executable attribute to the file Install.sh as follows:
   • Type: cd /home/jboss/GlobalSight/install
   • Type: sudo chmod u+x Install.sh
   • Run the Install.sh
     Type: sudo PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH ./Install.sh

The GlobalSight Installation interface starts.

Finishing the installation

To finish the installation:

1. In Install Options, set options 1, 3 and 4 above to true (for a first GlobalSight install)
   
   
   
   
   • Note: Option 4 creates database tables for the GlobalSight application. The installer drops exiting tables, if they exist from a prior install, and creates new tables for the GlobalSight application. If this is not your first GlobalSight install, setting option 4 to 'true' causes a loss of data.
2. Type I to start the installation
3. Press Enter after installation to continue

GlobalSight is now installed.

Check the console for any errors that may have arisen during creation of the database.

Post-installation procedures

To configure the jboss user:

1. Make sure the owner of the GlobalSight system is set to jboss, if not change as below
   • Type: sudo chown -R jboss /home/jboss/GlobalSight
2. Set the related file executable. For example:
   • Type: sudo chmod u+x /home/jboss/GlobalSight/jboss/server/bin/standalone.sh
   • Type: sudo chmod u+x /home/jboss/GlobalSight/jboss/server/bin/jboss-cli.sh

To check the docHome location:

1. Make sure that File storage directory and Document directory specified in Entering the server settings have been written to web.xml file.
   • Type: vi /home/jboss/GlobalSight/jboss/server/standalone/deployments/globalsight.ear/globalsight-web.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

If you find any docHome is set to default value other than that you specified, i.e. /home/jboss/welocalize/docs and /home/jboss/welocalize/filestorage, then run Install.sh again without any configuration changes. This will update the wrong directory map to the right one in web.xml.

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.

To configure the Web services:

1. Log in to the GlobalSight with superAdmin account
2. Click Remote IP Filter for Webservices
3. Click New to add the remote IP address information
   
   
   
   
4. Click Save

You can use an asterisk (”*”) as a wildcard in place of the last IP address parameter. For example, the IP Address 192.168.1.* allows all network IP addresses that begin with 192.168.1 to use GlobalSight Web services.

Configuring Samba (optional)

Configure Samba in order to set up Office 2003/2007 or Adobe InDesign converters.

Pre-requisites:

• Ensure that Samba has been installed
  • Type: sudo apt-get install samba

To configure Samba:

1. Switch to the user with sudo privilege
2. Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
   [global]
   workgroup=workgroup
   server string=ubuntu server
   security=share
   encrypt passwords=true
   smb passwd file=/etc/samba/smbpasswd
   guest ok=yes
   
   [<Name>]
   path=<path>
   public=yes
   writable=yes
   create mask=0777
   directory mask=0777
   • < Name> is the name of your shared directory, and the <path> is the directory that you want to share.
   • Note: the jboss user must have the read/write privileges for this folder
   • A sample smb.conf file looks as follows:
     
     
     
     
3. Re-start Samba to make the configuration take effect
   • Type: sudo service smbd restart
4. Verify your Samba configuration
   • Type the following link in Windows explorer:
     \\<IP address for ubunut>\<Name>
     e.g. \\192.168.29.29\converter
5. Add the user nobody to the jboss group to make sure that the windows user has the write privilege to the converter file
   • Type: sudo usermod -a -G jboss nobody
