[Engine-devel] attempting to deploy ovirt-engine built from source

17 Feb 2012

      Hi,

I've been attempting to build and deploy ovirt-engine from source; i've
been following the guide[1] and I'm still having a bit of trouble;
hoping for some help here.

I've got a F16 64-bit server.  I'm using the jboss that's available via
the f16 repos:

ovirt-engine-jbossas-1.2-2.fc16.x86_64

which is jboss 7.1 based.  I've updated my .m2/settings.xml to match the
install path of the above RPM:

[build@f16-node ear]$ cat ~/.m2/settings.xml
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
          http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

<!--**************************** PROFILES ****************************-->

        <activeProfiles>
                <activeProfile>oVirtEnvSettings</activeProfile>
        </activeProfiles>

        <profiles>
                <profile>
                        <id>oVirtEnvSettings</id>
                        <properties>
                                <jbossHome>/usr/share/jboss-as-7.1.0.Beta1b</jbossHome>
                                <JAVA_1_6_HOME>/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64</JAVA_1_6_HOME>
                                <forkTests>always</forkTests>
                        </properties>
                </profile>
        </profiles>
</settings>

engine and the gui build fine with the commands from the wiki.  When I attempt
to test the connection and webgui they fail.  so I looked out in the
deployment directory and I see the following:

[root@f16-node deployments]# pwd
/usr/share/jboss-as-7.1.0.Beta1b/standalone/deployments
[root@f16-node deployments]# ls -al
total 28
drwxrwxr-x.  3 jboss-as jboss-as 4096 Feb 17 12:28 .

-rw-rw-r--   1 jboss-as jboss-as 2353 Feb 17 12:21 engine.ear.failed

I'm attaching the engine.ear.failed.
