Install WHD on other *nix platforms

oiram

Since I'm on FreeBSD and was interested to get this up and running I had 2 options to install WHD:

  1. use Solaris/Linux package (TAR/GZ)
    1. extract: gzip -d | tar -xf WHD-package.tgz
    2. run: whd start
  2. use RedHat package (RPM)
    1. extract: rpm2cpio WHD-package.rpm | cpio -idm
    2. run: whd start

Seems Solaris/Linux package may be no longer available but the second option still works.

In any case you may need to set:

  1. set JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/openjdk6/jre in conf/whd.conf (I'm using OpenJDK, adjust to your environment)
  2. apply Unlimited Strength Java(TM) Cryptography Extension Policy Files - you will have instructions once you open WHD's website

    RedHat packages of WHD are distributed in GZip'ed format (*.rpm.gz) so to use above instruction you need to decompress the package, for example by running:

    gzip -d -c WHD-package.rpm.gz > WHD-package.rpm


    and then using rpm2cpio.
