  • chkconfig <SERVICE> off

Configure the following settings for the server:

To make all libraries from ant available do the following as root: 
   cd /usr/share/ant/lib
   ln -s /usr/share/java/ant.jar ant.jar
   ln -s /usr/share/java/ant-launcher.jar ant-launcher.jar

WARNING: if your OS includes ant already. Your /etc/ant.conf is probably configured to use gcj, which will fail to compile the Toolkit. You may need to edit /etc/ant.conf or run ant --noconfig to use your clean version.
