Message Queue System
This is a backend server in a distributed system, it provides the message queue functionality. You setup this profile if you want a dedicated server providing message queue functionality.
Automated Configuration
Baruwa Enterprise Edition >= 2.0.7 uses an automated wizard based utility called
baruwa-setup
to configure the system. This utility collects configuration
information from the user, performs any required software updates and then
configures the system based on the profile selected and the configuration
data collected. This simplifies the whole setup process in that the user
does not have to edit any files.
The baruwa-setup
utility is a wizard that asks a series of questions and
then configures the system based on the answers provided.
A pass phrase is required to secure the authentication information that is collected.
Make sure you choose a strong pass phrase which is easy for you to remember but difficult to guess for others, a long sentence describing a personal experience is a good pass phrase.
To start the configuration process login to the server with the username root
and
the password you set during installation.
Issue the baruwa-setup
command at the command prompt:
# baruwa-setup
The program will ask you to set a passphrase, enter the passphrase and press enter re-enter the same passphrase again to confirm. If the passphrase is accepted the System settings screen below will be displayed.
