Installing, starting, and stopping the new Jetty Service

After upgrading to 5.4 Jetty will be configured based upon your 5.3 configuration. All customer configurations for Jetty are located in the jetty/base folder.

After upgrade or a new installation, the following files will be created for you in Jetty:

<InstallDir>/jetty/base/etc/installation.properties
<InstallDir>/jetty/base/etc/perc-ds.xml
<InstallDir>/jetty/base/etc/perc-ds.properties

The installation.properties file will contain settings for HTTPS if you had HTTPS set up prior on the JBoss installation. Jetty will exclusively start with HTTP until you enable HTTPS.

Directions on how to Enable HTTPS and configure HTTP and HTTPS ports

Installing the Percussion CMS Service

After upgrade the existing Percussion CMS service should be removed and a new Service should be installed.

Installing the new PercussionCMS service on Windows

Run control services
Verify that there is no existing Percussion CMS service if there, not the service name.
Run a Windows Command Prompt as an Administrator
cd {InstallDir}\jetty\service
install-jetty-service.bat delete <Old Service Name>
install-jetty-service.bat install
Refresh Windows Service Manager
Using Service Manager start the PercussionCMS service.

Installing the new PercussionCMS service on Linux

Connect to a Terminal session on the Linux server as a user with sudo privileges (service installation must be performed by a root user).
cd {InstallDir}/jetty/service
sudo ./install-jetty-service.sh cleanupJBoss
sudo ./install-jetty-service.sh install
You will be prompted for the username that you will run Percussion as, for example "percussion" or "root"
After the service is installed you can start it with the following command.
sudo service PercussionCMS start

This will install the service to /etc/init.d/

The script will check to see if a service is already installed for this instance and will set it up to start when the server starts up.
