Configuration of the server

This is only needed if you want to change HTTP vs. HTTPS and the server port number. Tested with 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit on my desktop machine 16:25, 17 December 2012 (CET)

cd installation_path/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/extras
./groovy.sh  change_http_port.groovy 

You should see:

This script updates Intalio|BPP configuration and deployment files
when you change your application server's HTTP or HTTPS port
Do you want to use HTTP or HTTPS? [default: HTTP] 
New HTTP port number? [default: 8080] 
Press [ENTER] to start.
[... a few screen fulls of stuff ]

Modifying the scripts to include the Java path

I suggest editing the startup scripts to include the java path

cd installation_path/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin

Edit startup.sh and shutdown.sh and insert the following in the beginning of the files:

# JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/
export JAVA_HOME

Running the BPS server under Ubuntu

Tested with 12.04.1 LTS 64 bit on 16:25, 17 December 2012 (CET)

 cd installation_path/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin
 ./startup.sh  

You should see something like:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/
Using CLASSPATH:       :/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin/jcl104-over-slf4j-1.4.3.jar:/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin/slf4j-api-1.4.3.jar:/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin/slf4j-log4j12-1.4.3.jar:/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin/log4j-1.2.15.jar:/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/var/log:/home/schneide/intalio-bpms-6.3.1/bin/bootstrap.jar

Use it:

http://localhost:8080/bpms-console
login = admin
password = changeit

Change the password

Edit files security.xml. These can be found in two locations
./var/config/security.xml
./webapps/bpms-console/WEB-INF/classes/security.xml

The FAQ mentions console-security.xml and that is wrong on 16:25, 17 December 2012 (CET), since such a file doesn't exist)

Restart

./bin/shutdown.sh
./bin/startup.sh
