tjpren Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I have noticed a similar thread, but which appeard not to have any successful resolution.I have been evaluating JasperServer/iReports.I installed Jasper Server 3.1 OK. Upon running once, I was able to start the jasper Server from the Windows start menu, which presented me with a Login screen. I entered the default ladmin ogin details, and was presented with the administrator. I was happy to check out the contents and all was going well.Some days later, I went back to the Jasper server, and at the login, was presented with an error - "IE cannot display the webpage". After a lot of frustration, I uninstalled/re-installed Jasper server.I noted that when I rebooted my PC, I came back to the above situation where I get the error - "IE cannot display the webpage."I have tried stopping and starting the server, to no avail. The only solution seems to be a complete uninstall/reinstall.Any re-boot seems to cause the JasperServer to become unstable. Any Ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkm258 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, Initially when i started using windows installer of JasperServer, i too had the same problem. Donot use those windows installer.

swood Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 We have not heard of these particular issues. A restart of the server should work. If you used the installer, you would need to do this after a machine reboot or login. Can you see the command window for the Tomcat process? How did you install it? Both MySQL and Tomcat?

tjpren Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi,Thanks for the reply's. I installed using the Windows executable, and selected Tomcat, MySQL, and examples to be installed.After the latest uninstall/reinstall, At the moment, the web admin screen is running OK, and I have a java task command screen for tomcat running. All seems sweet, but am cringing at it stopping after a reboot.From memory, when i have rebooted in the past (and have had the problems), I can't remember seeing the tomcat java command window. Could you perhaps give advice as to how to manually start tomcat - I could give that a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkavanagh Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Under windows, you can skip the Win Start Up menus. This might be a good idea so that you can get a better idea of what is going wrong. Start a DOS cmd shell and move to the root of your JasperServer installation. Something like: Program FilesJasperServer-3.1Then, cd to the bin directory. This bin directory has the windows shell scripts for starting and stopping jasperserver. Remember, jasperserver is a web application. So, this is really about having mysql and tomcat start and stop properly. There is a script allctl.bat which will start everything. But you can try the individual components this way: cd Program FilesJasperServer-3.1bin jasperctl.bat mysql start - starts mysql jasperctl.bat tomcat start - starts tomcatBefore you run the commands above, i recommend that you clear out you tomcat logs so you can see what is happening in tomcat. cd Program FilesJasperServer-3.1apache-tomcatlogs delete all of the *.log and *.out files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjpren Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi,thanks for the tips.After a reboot, the (now familiar) error logging on to the jasper server admin web page.When I ran the scripts individually, I noticed a whole lot of errors in the Tomcat log, particularly relating to an inability to write to one of its directories (the conf directory)I checked the permissions of the directory, and noted that it was read only. When I deselected read only, and started tomcat again, the tomcat java shell showed a series of starts.I could now log into the admin web page.Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
