Getting Galleon (obviously, not the browser) up and running on a Linux platform was a real hair-puller. While there are people who claim success, there's no real how-to for it. The following is the path that I took, without the errors that I committed:
- Visit the site and read the instructions!
- Read the FAQ too
- Download the zip file from http://galleon.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/Download
- Download the JRE rpm from Sun (hint: follow the JRE link on the Galleon page)
- Uncompress and install the JRE rpm
- mkdir /usr/local/galleon
- move the galleon zip file into /usr/local/galleon and unzip it there
At this point, you have a non-working install. It a bit of searching but thanks to the following, I was able to get it running with a bit of tweaking and some valuable help from:
Without forcing you to search those links yourself, here's the steps:
- Get the "B7" patches from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=126291&atid=705258
- Put "run.sh" and "gui.sh" in /usr/local/galleon/bin
- Put "wrapper.conf" in /usr/local/galleon/conf
- Edit /usr/local/galleon/bin/run.sh
- Edit the JAVAHOME line to reflect the proper directory (mine turned out to be /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04 )
- Above and below the line that starts with "nohup", add the line "export CLASSPATH" (without the quotes)
- Edit /usr/local/galleon/bin/gui.sh
- Edit the JAVAHOME line to reflect the proper directory (mine turned out to be /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04 )
- Above and below the line that starts with "nohup", add the line "export CLASSPATH" (without the quotes)
At this point, you should be able to start the server with:
/usr/local/galleon/bin/run.sh
and/or start the GUI with
/usr/local/galleon/bin/gui.sh
Okay, this is the point that I'm at right now. The service runs but my Tivo (Series 2 with the 7.x OS) doesn't see it.
