Introduction

1. Overview of This Release

Red Hat Application Stack is a set of software components that have been tested and certified to work together in an integrated fashion. Red Hat Application Stack is designed for dynamic web applications for both the LAMP and Java platforms.

2. Installation Prerequisites

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.3 has been tested and certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 U5 systems. It is not certified for use with earlier versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Please follow the separate instructions for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 before installing Red Hat Application Stack V.1.3.

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.3 is available for 32- and 64-bit Intel architectures only (i386 and x86_64).

• Red Hat Application Stack V.1.3 includes JBoss AS 4.2, for running web applications in a standard middleware environment. Note that JBoss AS uses an embedded Tomcat and does not require a stand-alone Tomcat. Before installing and running JBoss AS you will require a working installation of Java 1.5. Currently Red Hat Application Stack is certified with the Sun JVM 1.5.0 update 15 or later, and the latest BEA JVM available through RHN. Please refer to

Chapter 2, Configuring the Java Environment for instructions on configuring the Java

environment for JBoss AS.

• If you intend to use the production config (started by default), you will need atleast 1.5GB of physical memory.

3. Package-specific Notes

In most cases, Red Hat Application Stack contains more recent versions of packages than those that are included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Installing Red Hat Application Stack may update/overwrite these packages. Please ensure you review the complete package list before beginning the installation process.
