Install the Discovery Module - Linux - Configuring the Services (without systemctl)

If your OS does not provide access to systemctl, follow these instructions. The examples are from Centos 6.9. Start by logging in as root, then download from DevNet and save the file logiDiscovery.sh.

Move the file to /etc/init.d and make it executable:

mv logiDiscovery.sh /etc/init.d
chmod +x logiDiscovery.sh

Use a text editor to open the file and edit the DISCOVERYHOME, NODE_HOME, and JAVA_HOME values to match your installation location. For example, these are the values for the default location:

DISCOVERYHOME = /opt/Discovery
NODE_HOME = /opt/Discovery/platform/node.js
JAVA_HOME = /opt/Discovery/platform/java/jre1.8.0_102 (JRE directory may vary with different Discovery releases)

You should now be able to immediately start the services, from within the /etc/init.d directory, with:

./logiDiscovery.sh start

Now run this test to see if the server responds:

curl localhost:3000

If you receive a message that says "Cannot GET /" then the installation was successful. Congratulations!

Start Services on Boot

To ensure that the services will start on their own if the server is restarted, edit the top of the logiDiscovery.sh file, changing:

#!/bin/bash
#

To:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Discovery 3.1
#
# chkconfig: - 10 90
#

Then, as root, run:

chkconfig --add logiDiscovery.sh
chkconfig logiDiscovery on
