cannot find start_crowd.sh

[Kerstin Drexler]

Hello,

I have now installed , or am trying to install crowd as the authentication  server for JIRA, CONFLUENCE, BAMBOO, GIT, SVN and FISHEYE. 

i have not come very far and i have the problem that the zip file i downloaded and extracted does not have the 

start_crowd.sh which i have to start according to the cowd 101 howto.

my steps where as following:

I installed

-JIRA (own server / own DB)

-CONFLUENCE (own server / own DB)

-FISHEYE and SVN (own server)

now i am on to crowd:

downloaded:

atlassian-crowd-2.9.1-war.zip and atlassian-crowd-openid-2.9.1-war.zip because i was not 100% sure what i should use.

copied everything to my DEBIAN 8 server under /opt

unzipped  everything, moved it to it^s CROWD_INSTALL directory /opt/atlassian/crowd_2.9.1/

put the information into   /opt/atlassian/crowd_2.9.1/WEB-INF/classes/crowd-init.properties

crowd.home=/home/crowd-home

• i am not sure if i will be needing the Database here ( seeing that i want every authentication (except for the crowd administrator) to come from an Active Directory - LDAP)

so i thought i would just start the crowd server and see what i can configure online.

But i am not able to find this start_crowd.sh  anywhere not with locate, find or anything.

I have downloaded the source now 3 times and unzipped it.

am I missing out in something here ?

Hope someone can help me out here.

Regards

Kim

The WAR download you've got is for deploying Crowd into a container application - it won't run on its own.  if you don't want to have to worry about containers, get the "standalone" download instead - it includes the container application (tomcat) and is preconfigured for it.
