Starting Resin - /etc/init.d/resin??

[CalmDownMonkey]

Hi,

I've installed Resin for the first time, according to the instructions here:
http://www.caucho.com/resin/admin/starting-resin-install.xtp

It says in the instructions:
When you installed using the .deb package or when you ran "make install" earlier, the installer created a file named /etc/init.d/resin which contains a standard Unix init.d startup file. This file will start Resin when invoked as:

/etc/init.d/resin start


However, there isn't a file called "resin" inside init.d, so this command doesn't work. I did do all the steps mentioned above, including the ./configure, make, make install. Being new to Linux I'm not entirely sure what went wrong and instructions can still seem a bit cryptic so I'm not even sure where to start looking. I'm running Ubuntu 10, if this matters.

I tried "sudo java -jar /usr/local/resin/lib/resin.jar start" which apparently worked, but whether it worked properly or not is another question because I can't get anything through the browser to verify it's all good.

Any advice?

Thanks

Hi,

Just to check... Did you run "make install" as root? That is did you run "sudo make install"? That should create /etc/init.d/resin. As a non-privileged user, you wouldn't be able to make that file. Also, if you're using another distribution (e.g. CentOS or Fedora), you'll either need to make a "www-data" user and group or edit /etc/resin/resin.xml to change the user that Resin will run as. Our default resin.xml just uses www-data because that's what Debian/Ubuntu use, but you may want a "resin" user or something else.

You can use Caucho's Debian package if you add their repository to the apt sources list, by the way.
