"Error running /opt/jasperreports-server-cp-5.6.0/apache-ant/bin/ant import-ce " That means that it was not able to load the repository database structure into your repo db (Postgres?)

Check your default_master.properties file and make sure that the JDBC user, password and port for the DB you are using as a repository are OK. 

[admin_75]

writes the following in buildomatic/default_master.properties file:

 

appServerType = skipAppServerCheck

appServerDir=/opt/jasperreports-server-cp-5.6.0/apache-tomcat

dbType=postgresql

dbHost=127.0.0.1

dbUsername=postgres

dbPassword=p4ssw0rd

dbPort=5432

preserve_master_properties_footer_comments_when_encrypting_buildomatic=true

 

All other settings are comment line.

 

 

i use to existing postgresql server and i connect to my postresql server with password (psql -U postgres -h 127.0.0.1 -d sugarcrm -p 5432)

it would be perhaps benefit (psql and pgadmin3 locations are /usr/bin)

A standard installation should not be too difficult. I'm just create a new virtual machine and i install the sudo and vim packages then download the latest serrver .run file and execute. Result: FAIL installation.

If connection fails, instead of failing with a cryptic message, installer should provide a more useful message to the user. It was not clear to me that postgres was a pre-req for installation.

It never hurts to read the manual.... http://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-installation-guide-community-edition/v60/installing-war-0
