Multiverse 1.0 Linux Install


This will be our first install of Multiverse (MV) on the Forever Interactive server. I started out by installing Bitvise Tunnelier and cygwin on my windows desktop so that I could work comfortably on the server in my office. I typically use Tunnelier at work, so I'm comfortable with it, and will use it for the time being. I used cygwin a long time ago, but I have forgotten most of it so it will be a renewal process.

The first step in the MV server install process is to install a current version of the JDK. I also used he linux based MV instructions as well as a reference. They seem to be using a Redhat based distro, and we are using Ubuntu, so I had to modify accordingly. As usual, I use apt-get.

I downloaded the MV install and mysql, and edited a few configuration files. MV also has special notes just for Ubuntu users.


And here is the server up and running.

Couple of useful commands:
./multiverse.sh -v start
./multiverse.sh status
./multiverse.sh stop

cd $MV_HOME/logs/
grep ERROR *.out
