If you decide to install Redhat, consider that you should have a licensed Redhat version. Otherwise, the repositories for installing software are locked.

It does not have much sense to install Redhat without a license subscription in the same direction and enable CentOS repos in a Redhat; if this is your way, better install CentOS at the beginning.

Preliminaries

Check disk size

$ df -h

Create a user named openkm

$ sudo adduser openkm

You can quickly generate random passwords at https://www.random.org/passwords.

Check server configuration

$ wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi
$ sudo chmod +x inxi
$ sudo ./inxi -F

If it doesn't work, try installing this package:

$ sudo yum install pciutils

Increase ulimit

$ sudo vim /etc/security/limits.conf

add the following lines to the end of the file (before the line # End of file)

* soft nofile 6084

* hard nofile 6084

Execute ulimit -n and see the open files limits are now updated.

Checking Java version

$ java -version

If Java is correctly installed on your computer, the name and version of the Java virtual machine are displayed:

openjdk version "1.8.0_212"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_212-b04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.212-b04, mixed mode)

The Java version numeration name can be altered to be upgraded to a major version.

Install Java

Perform these steps only if Java 8 is not installed on your server.

$ sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

The Java version may differ depending on your installed one, but we recommend the latest 1.8 release.

Set OpenJDK 1.8 as your default Java version

Perform this only if Java 8 is not your default Java version.

$ alternatives --config java

Installing database

Install MySQL if you do not have it already installed:

$ sudo yum install mysql-server mysql

Configure it as a service:

$ sudo chkconfig --levels 235 mysqld on

On the latest Centos, MariaDB has replaced the MySQL package in the repositories.

Install MariaDB:

$ sudo yum install mariadb-server

Configure as service:

$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb

If you get some trouble on the first database startup because it can not create files into the tmp folder, do the following:

Edit the /etc/selinux/config file:

$ sudo vim /etc/selinux/config

And apply this change to:

'SELINUX=disabled'

To take effect immediately, execute from the command line:

$ sudo setenforce 0

Change MySQL root password

Do it only If it's necessary to change the MySQL root password.

Method 1

$ /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password 'password.'

Method 2

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
$ sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &
$ mysql -u root mysql
> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;

In this case, MySQL has not been started as a service, and the process must be killed to stop MySQL and start it again as a service.

Method 3

$ mysql
> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('MyNewPass') WHERE User='root';
> flush privileges;

Method 4

$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
$ mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
$ mysql -u root mysql
> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User='root';
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
> exit;

In this case, MySQL has not been started as a service, and the process must be killed to stop MySQL and start it again as a service.

More information at MySQL: Reseting permissions.

Check InnoDB is the default MySQL engine

$ mysql -h localhost -u root -p

> show engines;

It should show something like this:

| InnoDB | DEFAULT | Supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign keys | YES | YES | YES |

If it is not default, modify /etc/mysql/my.cnf

$ vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf

and under [mysqld], add

default-storage-engine = innodb

After changing the default MySQL engine, the MySQL service must be restarted to take effect.

Create database

CREATE DATABASE okmdb DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_bin;
CREATE USER openkm@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL ON okmdb.* TO openkm@localhost WITH GRANT OPTION;

Installing OpenKM and Tomcat bundle

$ cd /home/openkm

$ unzip openkm-6.3.2-community-tomcat-bundle.zip

The tomcat version numeration name can be altered to be upgraded to a major version.

Configuring Tomcat as a service

For security reasons, you shouldn't run Tomcat as root. It is better to use the user named openkm.

Create a file with the script:

$ sudo vim /etc/init.d/Tomcat

#!/bin/sh
 
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          tomcat
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start and stop Apache Tomcat
# Description:       Enable Apache Tomcat service provided by daemon.
### END INIT INFO
 
ECHO=/bin/echo
TEST=/usr/bin/test
TOMCAT_USER=openkm
TOMCAT_HOME=/home/openkm/tomcat
TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh
TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT=$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
 
$TEST -x $TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT || exit 0
$TEST -x $TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT || exit 0
 
start() {
    $ECHO -n "Starting Tomcat"
    su - $TOMCAT_USER -c "$TOMCAT_START_SCRIPT &"
    $ECHO "."
}
 
stop() {
    $ECHO -n "Stopping Tomcat"
    su - $TOMCAT_USER -c "$TOMCAT_STOP_SCRIPT 60 -force &"
    while [ "$(ps -fu $TOMCAT_USER | grep java | grep tomcat | wc -l)" -gt "0" ]; do
        sleep 5; $ECHO -n "."
    done
    $ECHO "."
}
 
case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    restart)
        stop
        sleep 30
        start
        ;;
    *)
        $ECHO "Usage: tomcat {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0

The script must be changed if you use another user to start the service or your $TOMCAT_HOME is not /home/openkm/tomcat

Make it executable:

$ sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/Tomcat

Update the run-levels:

$ sudo chkconfig tomcat --level 2345 on

Check the service

Start the service:

$ sudo service tomcat start

Stop the service:

$ sudo service tomcat stop

Other standard additional setup configurations

OpenKM comes with a lot of configuration parameters. We suggest taking a look at Recommended configuration parameters.

Restart installation from scratch

The OpenKM first startup does some background configurations like filesystem folder creation and changes in the OpenKM.cfg that only happen during the first startup.

Sometimes there may be some mistake in OpenKM configuration, such as a wrong database connection or similar issues during the first startup, which raises an application failure. To restart the installation from scratch, we suggest following the next steps.

Ensure OpenKM is stopped.
Edit the OpenKM.cfg and set the parameter to hibernate.hbm2ddl=create
In case issue with the database connection, we suggest checking the link from the OpenKM server. Remember, some databases require enabling the user to gain connection from a server ( specific IP, range of IP, any server ).
Delete the folder named "repository."
Start OpenKM.

Other standard additional setup configurations

OpenKM comes with a lot of configuration parameters. We suggest taking a look at Recommended configuration parameters.

Restart installation from scratch

The OpenKM first startup does some background configurations like filesystem folder creation and changes in the OpenKM.cfg that only happen during the first startup.

Ensure OpenKM is stopped.
Edit the OpenKM.cfg and set the parameter to hibernate.hbm2ddl=create
In case issue with the database connection, we suggest checking the link from the OpenKM server. Remember, some databases require enabling the user to gain connection from a server ( specific IP, range of IP, any server ).
Delete the folder named "repository."
Start OpenKM.
