Among the billion other things I seem to be doing at the moment, I’ve invested some time into installing DSEE 6.2 on my ubuntu (feisty) laptop rather than setting up a vmware image of a supported Linux platform. “6.2″, I hear you say, “hasn’t even been released, yet.” You’re right, but rest assured it will 
Also, the stuff I’ve found may well help a 6.1 install, as well. I haven’t tested that, though.
How to do it? Follow these easy steps:
- Download the zip installer from the http://www.sun.com/downloads site once 6.2 becomes available, or try with 6.1.
- Install in the documented way. The installation will fail to register the JES mgmt. framework. Apparently there is a problem with <dsee-install-dir>/dsee6/cacao_2/configure . Instead of fixing that, it is very easy to do the following.
- Go to <dsee-install-dir>/dsee6/cacao_2/cacao and do this (feel free to use other ports):
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param jmxmp-connector-port=11162
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param snmp-adaptor-port=11160
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param snmp-adaptor-trap-port=11161
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param commandstream-adaptor-port=11163
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param rmi-registry-port=11164
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm set-param secure-webserver-port=11165
dsee6/cacao_2/cacao$ bin/cacaoadm start - Then go to <dsee-install-dir>/dscc and do:
bin/dsccsetup dismantle
bin/dsccsetup initialize - Deploy the dscc war file found under <dsee-install-dir>/var/dscc6/dscc.war to the app server of your choice.
- This would allow you to start the dscc web console and do anything that does not need cacao (yummy). To e. g. install a new instance, you also need to give suexec the right permissions:
$ sudo chown root.root /dsee6/cacao_2/cacao/private/bin/suexec
$ sudo chmod u+s /dsee6/cacao_2/cacao/private/bin/suexec
That’s it, you’re ready to go.

[...] Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) 6.2 on … ubuntu [...]

Hi, I tried to follow your simple steps on ubuntu 7.10 with Polish locale. I’ve found that you need to symlink /usr/bin/basename to /bin/basename before running “LANG=C ./dsee_deploy install ….”
Following steps worked for me so far.

Uh oh, sorry about that.
I guess I already had that linked from previous attempts with v. 6.0. I remember linking more than that for installations of previous version via the JES installer, but that must have been before my hdd crashed, because now I only have:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-06-25 13:25 ./pidof -> ../sbin/killall5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-06-25 13:25 ./setpci -> /usr/bin/setpci
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-25 13:25 ./sh.distrib -> bash
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-06-25 13:25 ./lsmod.modutils -> /sbin/lsmod.modutils
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-25 13:25 ./rnano -> nano
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2007-06-25 13:25 ./lspci -> /usr/bin/lspci
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-25 13:25 ./sh -> dash
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-06-25 13:25 ./mt -> /etc/alternatives/mt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 2007-06-25 13:25 ./netcat -> nc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-25 13:25 ./rbash -> bash
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2007-08-27 18:16 ./rpm -> /usr/bin/rpm
lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 21 2007-06-25 13:25 ./awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-08-31 16:30 ./basename -> /usr/bin/basename
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2007-08-28 16:12 ./sort -> /usr/bin/sort
Most of that stuff seems standard ubuntu convention and is the same on another box here.

Well,
Q: What package did I use in step 2?
A: The zip file downloaded in step 1 … go to:
http://www.sun.com/software/products/directory_srvr_ee/get1.jsp
select component: Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.x
select version: 6.2 (is no longer available, try 6.3)
select delivery type: compressed archive (zip)
select platform: any linux version (you’ll be redirected to the red hat downloads eventually, anyway)
Q: Which steps did I perform?
A: As stated: The ones documented in the installation guide, ref:
