Funambol

i am attempting to get sync4j working on solaris.

as a test, i installed the funambol/sync4j stuff under windows, and it
works for my needs.

however, i would like to have it running on my Solaris 10 box, as we don't
run windows as servers here.

i am an accomplished unix admin/programmer, but i am not experienced with java,
so a step by step guide would be nice.

thanks in advance.

Re: [Sync4j-users] sync4j on solaris? From: Bruce Slawson <slawsonb@co...> - 2006-03-02 18:03 I am running Sync4j under Solaris and Mac OS X and JBoss 3.2. My first advice is to forget about the bundles. I'm not sure why the bundles aren't available as a simple zip or tar.gz file instead of the lame installers. Not everybody runs windows or linux. Get the individual sever and client parts and just uncompress them and then follow the install instructions.

I'm surprised there isn't one but I bet the windows one will work fine since its just java. http://www.funambol.com/opensource/download_form.html? file_id=funambol-ds-server-5.0.1a.zip > > > -- > [ Jim Mercer jim@... +1 416 410-5633 ] > [ I want to live forever, or die trying. ]

Re: [Sync4j-users] sync4j on solaris? From: Harrie Sync4J <hhazewinkel@gm...> - 2006-03-04 12:34 Hi, I would suggest to install the unbundled version. You can just download the required components from the Internet and use the admin guide for the installation. The reason why only Linux and Windows bundles are there is because these are the most used platforms. All other platforms can be supported with the unbundled installations.

It is not a plan anymore. It already exists check the individual packages under the 3.0 section of http://www.funambol.com/opensource/downloads.html. Useful individual packages and tools * Funambol DS Server 3.0 beta 1 for Windows [15.9Mb] * Funambol DM Server 3.0 beta 1 for Windows [7.7Mb] * Funambol Admin 3.0 beta 1 for Windows [34.8Mb] * Funambol Admin 3.0 beta 1 for Linux [8.4Mb] * Funambol Java Command Line Client Example 3.0 beta1 [439.0Kb] * Funambol DM Windows Client 3.0 beta 1 [450.53Kb] * Funambol Java GUI Client Example 3.0 beta 1 for Windows [762.7Kb] * Funambol Java GUI Client Example 3.0 beta 1 for Linux [1.7Mb] The DS server is the one you need. > > >>The reason why only Linux and Windows bundles are there >>is because these are the most used platforms.

This is not that environment specific. Except for windows, but all unix (linux) are the same. > there also does not appear to be documentation regarding the various > elements to tweak with regards to database access and other thrid party > modules used by the project to run. Most of this stuff is written in the admin guide. I beleive there is currently only a 2.3 admin guide, but most of this did not change. > and, also, i suspect that many people who would want to run this code, > are like myself, unfamiliar with the java way of running things, and > some hints with that regard would be appreciated as well. There is various documentation available, but I hope you do understand that this is a free forum. > as i stumble through this process, i will try to develop a README for > solaris and FreeBSD. when i submit that, maybe someone here can polish > it, as i'm sure i'm gonna mis-label some things and or do things in an > awkward fashion. You are welcome to do that, but I beleive that the install process of the unbundled approach is already in the admin guide. It might not be the one for 3.0, but the 2.3 is basically the same if it comes to the installation process of the unbundled packages. -- Harrie Nuernberg, Germany ======================================================================== Project: http://www.funambol.com/opensource Documents: http://www.funambol.com/opensource/documentation/documents.html FAQ: http://www.funambol.com/opensource/support/faq.html Mailinglist archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sync4j (login required) http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=215
