5.2.0 on OSX 10.6.8 does not start using documented commands

[dhughes]

Evelauting jasper server for my company. Installed using the OSX installer and follwing documentation http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/jasperreports-server-install-guide-community-edition. Used existing Tomcat and Postgres installs and opted for demo data set up.

Tried to start:

1) click /Applications/jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0/jasperServerStart.app - icon bounces in dock for a second, then disappears. catalina.out is untouched, no logs in webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/logs

2) commonad line /Applications/jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0/ctlscript.sh - no output, no log info

3) manual tomcat start (<tomcat>/bin/startup.sh) - app starts, but there is an error in catalina.out and webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/logs/jasperserver.log:

A couple of things: Check the install log @ /Applications/jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0/installation.log and make sure that everything (postgres, tomcat and JRS) was installed correctly with no errors.

Can you check which Java version you have currently installed? ( from a terminal windows do #java - version )

To start it form the command line open a terminal window and do:
# cd /Applications/jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0/
# ./ctlscript.sh start

The only errors in the install log where when it tried to drop pre-existing DBs, which I assume is nothing to worry about:

 

dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "sugarcrm" does not exist

dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "foodmart" does not exist

dropdb: database removal failed: ERROR: database "jasperserver" does not exist

 

All of those DBS were created as expected. As I mentioned I am using existing installs of tomcat and postgres.

 

14:49 jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0 $ java -version

java version "1.6.0_51"

Java SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-10M4509)

Java HotSpot 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)

 

Already tried this (#2 in my initial report), no output, no log info:

cd /Applications/jasperreports-server-cp-5.2.0/

./ctlscript.sh start

Hi, when using existing instances of tomcat and postgresql, the JRS (JasperReports Server) start/stop scripts will not start/stop these existing instances.

So, the order would be the following:

  start postgresql

  start tomcat

However, it looks like this is what you did. But you can try again.

Also, make sure that there are no other apps currently existing in your tomcat (multiple apps can run no problem - but when debugging I try and get rid of anything that might make it harder to debug).

Then you can check your <tomcat>/logs/catalina.out and hopefully should get a clearer error message.
