Question

Can some guide me .. for installing Mule ESB(mule-standalone-3.3.1) in Ubuntu . I am unable to find any documentation for installing. i want to automate it through Chef.

Answer 1

It's can be as simple as downloading and unpacking the archive file from: http://dist.codehaus.org/mule/distributions/mule-standalone-3.3.1.zip

Note: You need jdk 6/7 installed first.

Here's a chef cookbook that does this: https://github.com/ryandcarter/mule-cookbook

And here's a Vagrant script for running the mule cookbook on ubuntu etc: https://github.com/ryandcarter/vagrant-mule

It is very simple. Download and unpacking the archive file from: http://dist.codehaus.org/mule/distributions/mule-standalone-3.3.1.zip or whatever version you want to install.

put this unpack file to anywhere where you want like /opt/ or /usr/local/

put you mule application inside apps folder.

& go to bin directory and run ./mule start command. Now mule server is running. You can also check mule log inside log folder mule.log file

This is an old question, but in case there are others who are looking. You want to install Mule as a Ubuntu Service, so that it restarts when The server restarts. There are a couple of basic steps to this

I detailed out instructions and installation files at my github repository https://github.com/jamesontriplett/mule_linux_service_install

Steps in general:

1. Install a startup script in /etc/init.d
2. Install a startup parameter file in /etc/mule
3. Customize parameters in the wrapper.conf file in /conf/wrapper.conf
4. Install the license file onto the server if using enterprise
5. Add the startup script to the run levels.

To test, you want to reboot the linux service to make sure that it will come back after a reboot. If it doesn't you have a reliability issue.
