JasperServer from WAR file: 404 error

[cheeseburger]

I'm trying to install JasperServer CE 5.6.0 from a WAR file on CentOS 6 against MySQL + yum-installed Tomcat 6.

I followed the PDF guide for WAR file installation.

The js-install-ce.sh script completes successfully. No errors.

When I restart tomcat6, I see no errors. /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out follows:

The latest APR is in /usr/lib, btw. Go figure.

When I bring up a browser against http:localhost:8080/jasperserver/ I get a 404 error on home.html

JDK 1.7 u65 (is this the problem?)

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/jasperserver is owned by user tomcat

I'm stumped.

Go to the Tomcat manager to check if JasperReports Server is actually running.

With linux installations most often, it's not setting the headless in setenv.sh that cause the problem.

-Djava.awt.headless=true

The CentOS Tomcat 6 package is broken. The farthest you can get with that package is a stream of ObjectUndef exceptions. It's not worth debugging unless one is very very very bored.

 

Install the binary dist from Apache. In my case, Tomcat 7. Adjust the default_master.properties file, and run jsinstall-ce.sh again.
