MailProbe Installation

MailProbe can be installed into an Java Application Server or run as a Grails project.

If you don't change any port and application path settings the application is available at 

http://localhost:8080/mailprobe/

Java Application Server

Go to the files area and download the latest war. The application has been tested with Glassfish, Tomcat and Jetty.

Tomcat

Deploy the war with the Tomcat Manager or copy the war to the ../webapps/ directory of the Tomcat installation. Logging works fine in Tomcat.

Glassfish

Deploy the war with the admin console as a new application or copy the war to the ../autodeploy/ directory of a running domain.
There will be no logging output of MailProbe due to the logging incompatibility between Grails and Glassfish.

Grails Project

  • Set up a standard Grails environment as described here.
  • Get the source code from sourceforge.net. 
    cd some_dir
svn co https://mailprobe.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mailprobe/trunk mailprobe
  • Run the application in the production environment. 
    cd mailprobe/mailprobe-core
grails prod run-app
