Trying on Ubuntu 10.04
- download the guacamole webapp from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/binary/
- deploy it
# mv guacamole-0.8.3.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/
- download guacamole-server and guacamole-client from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/source/
- unpack it
- build the server:
# ./configure && make -j8 && make install # guacd guacd: error while loading shared libraries: libguac.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory # cp ./src/libguac/.libs/libguac.so.5.0.0 /usr/lib/libguac.so # guacd guacd[11581]: INFO: Guacamole proxy daemon (guacd) version 0.8.3 guacd[11581]: INFO: Successfully bound socket to host ::1, port 4822 guacd[11581]: INFO: Exiting and passing control to PID 11582
- build the client:
apt-get install maven2
- now the problem is that tomcat does not know where to find the Authentication class:
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/guacamole/WEB-INF/classes/net/sourceforge/guacamole/net/basic/BasicFileAuthenticationProvider.class
is not in /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties
- so add it
- cat /etc/passwd gives me a line
tomcat6:x:113:116::/usr/share/tomcat6:/bin/false
ll /usr/share/tomcat6/.guacamole/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 26 07:58 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 26 07:57 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 26 07:58 guacamole.properties -> /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties
- works now. So the thing is:
- you need to have guacamole.war in the right folder
- you need to have guacamole.properties in tomcat's home dir, e.g. /usr/share/tomcat6/.guacamole
- take care that it is called guacamole and not guacamole-0.8.3 (sure?)
- make sure the classpath in /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties is correct, e.g.
# Location to read extra .jar's from lib-directory: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/guacamole/WEB-INF/classes
- make sure you have user-mappings.xml
- log in as the user given in user-mappings.xml
