Hi Juan,

Thanks for your advice.

Performed following steps:

$ sudo gedit /home/satimis/.m2/settings.xml
change;
<jbossHome>/usr/share/jboss-as</jbossHome>
to
<jbossHome>/home/satimis/jboss-as</jbossHome>


$ sudo chown -R satimis:satimis /home/satimis/jboss-as


I have to re-run following commands;

$> git clone git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine
$> export OVIRT_HOME=$PWD/ovirt-engine
$> cd $OVIRT_HOME/backend/manager/dbscripts
#> ./create_db_devel.sh -u postgres


Build
=====
$> cd $OVIRT_HOME
$> mvn clean install
....
.....
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 7:36.078s
[INFO] Finished at: Fri Nov 16 18:22:13 HKT 2012
[INFO] Final Memory: 137M/593M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are "test run" failure messages.  Because the text scrolling moving too fast I can't take them down.  Where is the log of "Build"?


Deploy 
======
$> cd $OVIRT_HOME/ear
$> mvn clean install -Pdep,setup
....
....
[INFO] Executed tasks

Re-run following command as mentioned in the "Instruction" :
$ mvn clean install -Pdep
....
....
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Testing 
======

# ./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0
-bash: ./standalone.sh: No such file or directory

# ls | grep standalone.sh
no output

# locate standalone.sh
/home/satimis/jboss-as/bin/standalone.sh
/home/satimis/jboss-as/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh

It is very strange!  It is there!


I have to run following command to get it;
# cd /home/satimis/jboss-as/bin/
# ls | grep standalone.sh
standalone.sh

Then it is there.


# ./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0
....

It hung here.  I have to press [Ctrl]+c to exit

Neither I found the "Welcome" page.


# hostname
fedora17
# hostname -f
fedora17


On browser I can't start api

http://fedora17:8080/api nor webadmin

Any mistake did I make?

I have another hard drive testing the prebuilt RPMs.  Thanks
