 I've been trying to install it on a box I've thrown together (FreeBSD

 documents:

 /usr/src/sslexplorer/README (from the src install package at
 http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sslexplorer/sslexplorer-1.0.0_RC13-src.zip)

 http://n3ncy.com/UNIX/FreeBSD/SSLExplorer.htm (which seems not to be
 for the source install, and with which I had no luck)

 and

 http://3sp.com/kb/idx/21/088/article/How_do_I_install_the_source_code.html
 (the PDF they link to is so obscured by a huge DRAFT stamp that it's
 pretty much unusable.)

 I've installed Java and apache-ant, and execute '# ant install', which
 churns and produces lots of output - It's supposed to launch an
 install wizard, which I never see, then it finally states

  install:
   [java] Java Result: 1

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL
  Total time: 1 minute 10 seconds

 then I execute '# ant run', which produces lots of similar output, but
 then it exits with

  console:
   [echo]
   [echo]
 Service wrapper not currently supported on this platform (FreeBSD), so
 falling back to
   [echo]
 generic method. You will not have restart ability from the user
 interface and
   [echo]
 beware of using CTRL+C, it may leave processes running
   [echo]

  console-using-java:
   [java] Java Result: 1

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL
  Total time: 54 seconds

 and nothing is running that I would expect to see.

 If anyone on this list has experience with it, I'd appreciate a bit of advice.

 Thanks,

 Kurt


Per a private message (thanks, Peter) I learned that 'ant run' is
deprecated, and I should instead use 'ant start'.

This seems to have no effect, as the output is the same.

The README does talk about a wizard, which, after pondering all of
this overnight, seems to mean some GUI component that guides you
through setup. There is no window manager on this machine, and I don't
have X installed, except for what Java/Ant libraries were installed.

So, I'm still left with the questions above.

Any takers?

Kurt,

We spoke briefly about 'ant install' opening port 28080... when this 
happens, you can connect your browser to that port 
(http://yourhost:28080 - this is the wizard the readme is talking 
about). There seems to be some timegap between the installer reporting 
it's ready and the actual opening of the port (I tried last night).


You don't need X (I don't have it), just some patience. When you've 
completed the install (with your browser), the ant will shutdown and you 
can start then sslexplorer with 'ant start'. Again there will be a 
timegap between the ending of the startup script and the opening of the 
port.

OK - I'll buy that the wizard is the GUI used through a web browser -
that makes sense.

However, I executed 'ant start' within the directory at the console as
root, while tracking processes in a putty ssh terminal with top during
that execution. I noticed that java was running, but then the ant
process stopped on the console, and in top the java entry disappeared.
Testing after that, with netstat -a, revealed no port open other than
the usual smtp/ssh/ntp ports that I use on any machine.

Trying to connect with Firefox is unsuccessful at that point.

As you might surmise, I'm not familiar with ant or java, so am just
bashing about looking for clues.

Lastly for the moment, I noticed that I didn't have the JRE installed,
so I took the time to download that file and 'make install clean',
then execute 'ant install' and 'ant run', with the same results.

I have output from both 'ant install' and 'ant run' should anyone care
to take a look.

OK - this is seriously strange. I used the command line

   # ant -debug -logfile /root/antdebuginstall.txt install

and the process now does not exit, and I'm able to bring up the wizard
in FF. I'm getting errors trying to authenticate against Active
Directory, but I can work through that.

Thoughts?
