problems installing jasperserver

[pruts]

I have some troubel with jasperserver.

Fore the installation procedure all go’s well until I browse to the page, it gives back an error that the page not exist. “the requested resource (/jasperserver) is not available”

I think there’s a problem with the war or the please where this is configured, but I’m new ad this so that’s way I post this question. Any idée is welkom.

I work with :

Jasperserver 3.5.0

Tomcat 6.0.18

Maven 2.0.9

Java version 1.6.0_0

OpenJDK runtime (Icedtea6 1.4.1)

OpenJDK client 14.0-b08

HI,

are you running WAR file install or Installer? If installer, do you install to existing or with bundled tomcat?

Is your tomcat running?

 

thx!

I have installed tomcat my self.

Further I use the command “js-ant deploy-webapp-ce” to install the web interface and it says the build wend ok, so I don’t under stand what wrong. I have never seen a war file so far.

In the Source Build guide they explain what there will be don when executing the command but I don’t think it dos.

Step by step I have executed the steps explained in the Build Guide with the js-ant command I get the replay that it was with success. But when I surf to the localhost:8080/jasperserver page I get an error that the page not exists.

 

I’m going nuts hire.

Can anybody help me please?

Sounds like the server did not start successfully.

 

Can you show us the logs? They will be in WEB-INF/logs and the Tomcat logs directories.

There are no logfiles in the “/usr/share/tomcat6/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/logs” folder only the readme.txt file.

In the “/etc/tomcat6/catalina/localhost” folder there’s no jasperserver.xml, only two files host-manager.xml and manager.xml.

I have added the log files of the tomcat application as attachment.

I have tried some things yesterday:

-          Install like the build guide says.(the creation of the DB is oke, I have check it)

-          After that I have tried to add the application via the host-manager of tomcat with the war file but then the jasperserver files are added in a different folder”/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps”, but I can’t start de application.

Tried this for several times in different ways.

-          Redo the hole thing (jasperserver not tomcat, ant, maven or java JDK) from scrap like the build guide says. (this is the last situation) yesterday 17:00 central european time

Al of this on a ubuntu 9.04 with the specs as above (original post)

From the locahost log file, it looks like the user who is running the Tomcat process does not have read/write permissions to the webapps/jasperserver directory and its sub directories. You need to chmod the files there.

I have installed a new ubuntu with only the necessary installation programs (maven2,tomcat6,mysql)

I then followed the source build guide by the letter. All the builds give back success.

But I stil can’t surf to the localhost:8080/jasperserver site. It gives back “The requested resource(/jasperserver) is not available”

The logs localhost.<date>.log is empty and I have attacht the catalina.<date>.log where I can find only one strange thing. “user database is not persistable – no write permissions on directory” what I’m sure of that this is not the jasperserver folder because I have opend it completely for all users.

The WEB-INF/logs folder is empty.

To everyone ho wants to now.

 

I’m proud to present to you “The solution”

It’s not jasperserver

It’s not maven2

It’s not Tomcat6

It’s the tomcat6 distribution from Ubuntu, you now “apt-get install tomcat6”

.
This distribution has a problem with the read/write privileges in the userDB.

So don’t use the ubuntu distribution but download tomcat6 bin from the http://tomcat.apache.org/ site.

Install it like it is written on the tomcat site.

Follow the installation procedure of jasperserver source build guide.

(re)start you tomcat6 app..

And o wonder IT WORKS!!!

May be you didn’t notes, but I’m proud of my self..
