Http Status 404 - Tomcat/JDBC issue?

[jbariel]

I recently installed (several times) Jasperserver 3.7.0 in a new virtual machine running Ubuntu 10.04.1. I installed mysql and tomcat when installing Ubuntu, so I used existing Tomcat and MYSQL when installing Jaserserver. Installation seems to have gone fine, but I get 404 error when browsing to http://hostname:8080/jasperserver/. Tomcat and Apache seem te be running fine as http://hostname:8080 and http://hostname return appropriate "It Works" pages.

I did discover when trying to start or stop the Tomcat server that it errored saying server.xml and catalina.out were missing. Creating /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out solved that error and it started writing logs there. I created /conf/server.xml and started receiving unexpected file end errors, so I then copied the server.xml file from /etc/tomcat6 which did away with the error, and I could start and stop tomcat without errors.

None of it resolved the 404 issue though, and the 404 error seems to not even detect the jasperserver source:

 

description The requested resource () is not available.

 

The catalina.out text is below. I read somewhere I might need to copy the JDBC driver to a tomcat folder? not sure which folder or where to get the driver files.

 

Thanks

Jason

Since this was a fresh install, I just reinstalled Ubuntu, and used the built in Tomcat and Mysql and it is working.

Good news that the "bundled" tomcat and mysql packages worked for you.

There *does* seem to be an issue when using the installer to install to an existing tomcat6 location under ubuntu & centos. I'll have to do more testing on this. Feel free to write a bug also (makes it easier to get bugs to a higher priority ;-)
