    Mobicents Installation and Configuration

    Author: Abdulbaki Uzun

    Note that for this tutorial the Windows version of Mobicents was used and the working
    directory was simply called “Mobicents”. This tutorial is mostly copy-pasted from the
    “Mobicents User Guide”, but enhanced to parts, where more explanation is needed.

    Requirements

    Mobicents needs the following software in order to work correctly:

    • Java Development Kit (JDK 1.5 recommended)


    • Ant
    • Maven

    Java Development Kit

    Installing

    Mobicents is written in Java; therefore, before running any Mobicents server, you must have a
    working Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system. In addition, the JDK you are
    using to run Mobicents must be version 1.5 (a.k.a. “Java 5”) or higher.
    You can download the Sun JDK 5.0 (Java 2 Development Kit) from Sun's website
    “http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp”. After the download is finished,
    simply double-click the downloaded self-extracting installer and follow the instructions to
    install the JDK.

    Configuring

    In order to make the JDK work correctly, you have to set the “JAVA_HOME” environment
    variable and you have to put the binary directory into your “PATH” variable. You can set
    these variables by going to your “Control Panel” and click on “System”. Under the
    “Advanced” tab, you will find the “Environmental Variables”.

    1
    It is assumed that your JDK installation is located under “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16”.
    Your variables should look this:

    Figure 1: Environmental Variables

    Finally, to make sure that you are using the correct JDK or Java version (1.5 or higher), and
    that the java executable is in your PATH, run the “java –version” command in the terminal:

    Figure 2: Running Java in the terminal

    If you see the same as displayed in the screenshot, your JDK is successfully installed.

    Ant

    In order to deploy various examples and services in Mobicents, you need to install and
    configure Apache Ant. You can download it at “http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi”.

    Just extract the content of the ZIP file into a directory of your choice. For this tutorial it is
    assumed that you placed the files into the directory “C:\Program Files\Apache Software
    Foundation\Ant”.

    2
    Before you can run Ant there is some additional set up you will need to do. Therefore add the
    “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Ant\bin” directory to your “PATH”. And set
    the “ANT_HOME” environment variable to the directory where you installed Ant (here it
    would be “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Ant”, see “Figure 1: Environmental
    Variables”).

    Now you can check the basic installation by opening a new shell and typing “ant” and “ant -
    version”. You should get a message like this:

    Figure 3: Running Ant in the terminal

    If you see the message above, Ant is successfully installed and configured.

    Maven

    Mobicents provides the possibility to build all the examples and services from the source
    code. In order to be able to do that, you need to install and configure Maven.

    You can download the latest version of Maven at “http://maven.apache.org/download.html”.


    Unzip the distribution archive to the directory you wish to install Maven. These instructions
    assume you chose “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Maven”.

    Add the “M2_HOME” environment variable with the value “C:\Program Files\Apache
    Software Foundation\Maven”. Be sure to omit any quotation marks around the path even if it
    contains spaces. In the same dialog, add the “M2” environment variable in the user variables
    with the value “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Maven\bin”. Then add the
    “PATH” variable value “C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Maven\bin” to make
    Maven available in the command line (see “Figure 1: Environmental Variables”).

    Open a new command prompt and run “mvn –version” to verify that it is correctly installed.

    Installing Mobicents

    The Mobicents binary distribution is comprised of – and comes bundled with – all of the
    following components:

    - the JBOSS Application Server


    - the Mobicents JAIN SLEE Server
    - the Mobicents Media Server
    - the Mobicents SIP Servlets Server
    - the Mobicents SIP Presence Service
    - a large number of resource adapters
    - multiple demonstration examples

    Mobicents can be installed by downloading the ready-to-go binary distribution, or, alternately,
    the source code can be obtained using the Subversion version control system (VCS) and then
    Mobicents can be built from source. Installing the binary distribution is recommended for
    most users, and obtaining and building the source code distribution is recommended for those
    who want access to the latest revisions and capabilities.

    You can download the latest version of the Mobicents from


    “http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102670”. The top row of the table
    holds the latest version.

    Just extract the downloaded ZIP file into a directory of your choice. It is assumed that your
    working directory is called “Mobicents”.

    Once installed, make sure that the “JBOSS_HOME” environment variable is set and is
    pointing to the Mobicents JAIN SLEE Server directory, i.e. “Mobicents\jboss-4.X.Y.GA”
    (see “Figure 1: Environmental Variables”).

    Starting Mobicents

    Now you can run the Mobicents JAIN SLEE Server by executing the one of the startup scripts
    in the “Mobicents\jboss-4.X.Y.GA\bin” directory, or by double-clicking the “run.bat”
    executable batch file in that same directory. However, we suggest always starting the JAIN
    SLEE Server using the terminal, because you are then able to read – and act upon – any
    startup messages, and possibly debug any problems that might arise. In the terminal, you will
    be able to tell that the JAIN SLEE Server started successfully if the last line of output is
    similar to the following (ending with “Started in e.g. 25s:527ms”):

    Figure 5: Mobicents JSLEE Server Output

    Stopping Mobicents

    Assuming that you started the JAIN SLEE Server as a foreground process in the terminal, the
    easiest way to stop it is by pressing the “Ctrl + C” key combination in the same terminal in
    which you started it.
