Hi,

Here is my experience.

I downloaded the Mac client and the linux server package - make sure you download the installation manager, you will need it to install the Jazz server.

I installed Ubuntu into a VM (I used Parallels, but any will do). Install the installation manager. Then install the Jazz package into a directory in Ubuntu that you can replicate on the Mac, I installed into /opt/IBM/IBMShared and /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer.

Once this install was complete I created a directory on the Mac called /opt/IBM and copied the contents of /opt/IBM on Ubuntu into this.

I then did the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME exports as described above. I then ran /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.startup from a terminal on the Mac, and all fired up fine.

I then setup the jts element following the standard instructions.

I pretty much ignored all the error messages up to this point, when I set the URI, I set it as the Mac name, I made no change to /etc/hosts and ignored the error message that said it couldn't be accessed.

Once complete I was able to setup a project area easily, I unzipped the client on the Mac ran it as others have described and connected to the server. Thus far I've had no issues whilst running it, all has worked fine.

Cheers,

Jason

It would perhaps help others if you or Freddy zipped the Team Server install folder on Mac OS X and share. I have no time for some time to go through installing Ubuntu under Parallels, etc. ... There is close to 900 views of this post so I guess the interest is high amongst other members.

Not sure where this could be appropriately posted - but let us try and get this resolved properly, and have Mac OSX supported as a server platform officially.

If you follow Jason's suggestion, and "skip that step," by putting a 3 into the URL to skip step 2, you can get through the other steps. I'd been afraid that there was a form post that was required for step 3, but it seems there isn't.

Setup brings you back to step 2 at the end, but it seems you can get enough configured to move along and use the server by just putting in its local URL. I'll see if there are other issues down the line, but for playing in the sandbox, this seems to work!

Thanks!

Turns out that wasn't good enough, and I needed to copy over server/conf from the Ubuntu box, which did the trick.

<sidenote> I apologize for misuse of "sandbox," but I did use a lowercase "s." ;-) </sidenote>

Did anybody ever actually upload a directory having done the hard bit by installing on Ubuntu etc? I could really do it it as a link so I dont have to bother with that section...?
