# Init Script

Init Script describes the page configuration and script information of the **Init Script** menu, and describes how to create and manage scripts.

Init Script is a feature that allows a prewritten script to be run automatically when creating a server.

  - The content of the script can only be in English. You can't include Korean letters or annotations.
    - The scripts, such as Python, Perl, Shell, and so on can be used in Linux. In the first line, specify the path of the script you want to run in formats such as `#!/bin/bash`, `#!/usr/bin/env python`, `#!bin/perl`, and so on.
    - You can only use Visual Basic scripts in Windows.
5. From the Init Script pop-up window, click the **[OK]** button.
  - The created script is displayed in the list.

## Create server with script

To automatically run the script in the server, you must specify the script in the settings information when creating the server. In the Set server ([New console](/docs/en/server-create-classic#2%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%951)/[Existing console](/docs/en/server-create-classic#2%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%84%A4%EC%A0%952)) step, select the desired script in the **Script** item.

              Note

              

- Scripts can't be used when creating a server or replica server using a server image.
- Even if the server status is displayed as **Running**, the script installation may continue to be in progress. To see whether the installation is completed, check the progress status log.
  - Linux: /var/log/ncloud-init.log
  - Windows: C:\Program Files(X86)\NBP\ncloud-init\logs

## Script example

See the following script examples:

### Linux server

Here are scripts that can be used in a Linux server.

#### Install Apache HTTP Server

The script for installing Apache HTTP Server is as follows:

**Perl script example**

```
#!/usr/bin/perl –w

$result = `yum update-to httpd`;

if ($result =~ /but not installed/) {
  print "http available\n";
  if ($result =~ /httpd available/) {
    print "http not installed\n";
    $iresult = `yum -y install httpd`;
    if ($iresult =~ /Complete/) {
      print "http installed\n";
      open (WP, ">/var/www/html/index.html") || die "cannot open index.html\n";
      print WP `ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr" | awk \'{print \$2}\'`;
      close(WP);
      `chkconfig --level 345 httpd on`;
      `service httpd restart`;
    }
  }
  else {
    print "http NOT available\n";
  }
}
else {
  print "http already installed\n";
}
```

**Shell script example**

```
#!/bin/sh

result=`yum update-to httpd`

if [[ $result =~ *"but not installed"* ]]
then
   if [[ $result =~ *"httpd available"* ]]
   then
      echo 'http available'
      echo 'http not installed'

      $iresult=`yum -y install httpd`

      if [[ $iresult =~ *"Complete"* ]]
      then
         echo 'http installed'
         echo 'test' >> /var/www/html/index.html

         /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 httpd on
         /sbin/service httpd restart
      fi
   else
      echo 'http Not available'
   fi
else
   echo 'http already installed'
fi
```

### Windows server

Here are scripts that can be used in a Windows server.

#### Install Java JDK

The script for installing Java JDK is as follows:

**Visual Basic script example**

```
LOG_DIRECTORY = "C:\Windows\Temp"
DEFAULT_LOG_FILE_PATH = LOG_DIRECTORY + "\init-install.log"

Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

' logging (file & stdout)
Function logInfo(str)
    WScript.Echo CStr(Now()) + " [INFO]: " + str
    Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile(DEFAULT_LOG_FILE_PATH, 8, True)
    objFile.WriteLine CStr(Now()) + " [INFO]: " + str
    objFile.Close
End Function

tmp_jdk_download_path="C:\Windows\Temp\jdk.exe"
jdk_installer_url="http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u79-b15/jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe"

cmd="wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header ""Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie"" " + jdk_installer_url + " -O " + tmp_jdk_download_path + " -c"

' download jdk
ws.Run cmd,,TRUE

WScript.Sleep 5000

javaInstallCmdStr = "C:\Windows\Temp\jdk.exe /s /L C:\Windows\Temp\jdk-install.log"
Set oExec1 = ws.Exec(javaInstallCmdStr)

Do While oExec1.Status = 0
    loginfo "Info: Wait for install JDK to finish."
    WScript.Sleep 10000
Loop
```
