| 17:38.20 | mophilly | re: jackrabbit install. Installed without errors. cannot create new repository using jackrabbit web app. I have not specifically set $catalina_base. error messages and a bit more detail can be viewed at http://pastebin.com/UnQctQjS |
| 17:39.17 | mophilly | error is raised in Installer.java, but I suspect the problem is the between the chair and keyboard. |
| 17:40.41 | DarkStar1 | anyone know where the tomcat error log files are? I'm trying to track down the problem to the following error: lock file found but no process running for pid xxxx. |
| 17:41.03 | DarkStar1 | I've already verified that the pid file and the process file match |
| 17:46.43 | mophilly | DarkStar1: seems pretty quiet here. Logs are in the Tomcat home directory in my installation. |
| 17:47.38 | DarkStar1 | Yeah.. too quiet. Have you ever encountered a "lock file found but no process running for pid xxxx" error before? |
| 17:48.16 | mophilly | I have install on a mac os x server, which places things in different directories than linux. |
| 17:48.38 | mophilly | No, I haven't. the log is named "catalina_out" I believe. |
| 17:48.52 | mophilly | err... make that "catalina.out" |
| 17:49.06 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: Yeah. I have a Mac install on my mbp too. No problems with that so far |
| 17:49.42 | mophilly | are you using the tomcat install in the server distro? |
| 17:49.49 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: k. Thanks I'll go hunting now |
| 17:50.28 | DarkStar1 | Well at the moment I'm trying to trouble shoot a deployment problem in CEntOS |
| 17:51.15 | mophilly | DarkStar1: also look for tomcat-launchd.stderr and .stdout |
| 17:51.37 | mophilly | interesting... I was considering moving my work to a CentOS box. |
| 17:51.45 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: I copied in a new war file and started tomcat but it wont deploy. When I execute the /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start it gives no error |
| 17:52.03 | mophilly | sounds familiar. |
| 17:52.13 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: but when I do a status check I get that lock file error |
| 17:52.28 | mophilly | Is your OS client or server? |
| 17:52.38 | DarkStar1 | Server |
| 17:52.52 | mophilly | Ok. |
| 17:52.53 | DarkStar1 | It's a leased server on a provider |
| 17:52.56 | DarkStar1 | virtual |
| 17:53.04 | DarkStar1 | I'm troubleshooting for a friend |
| 17:53.35 | DarkStar1 | however CentOS isn't that popular a server it seems so Googling for solution or similar problem fails |
| 17:55.00 | DarkStar1 | I checked the /var/run/tomcat5.pid and the pid in the file matches the process of the pid of the process. However a ps -aux | grep tomcat reveals a different ID |
| 17:55.22 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: So I am close to the root of the problem |
| 17:55.41 | mophilly | sounds like. Also, may be related to the trouble I am encountering. |
| 17:56.19 | mophilly | I can load the tomcat manager OK. And the jackrabbit war deployed successfully but I cannot create a new repository. |
| 17:56.20 | DarkStar1 | What's yor problem? |
| 17:56.38 | DarkStar1 | Your problem sounds like a permissions problem |
| 17:56.40 | mophilly | fails when the web app attempts to write the "repository.xml" file. |
| 17:56.43 | mophilly | yeah. |
| 17:56.48 | mophilly | I agree. |
| 17:56.58 | DarkStar1 | do you have write access to the folder? |
| 17:57.09 | mophilly | yes. |
| 17:57.48 | mophilly | well, let me clarify that... |
| 17:58.13 | DarkStar1 | Well I'm still quite new to tomcat so I don't know anything about jackrabbit |
| 17:58.21 | mophilly | user _appserver has read/write permissions. |
| 17:58.30 | mophilly | that's ok. I am new to both. |
| 17:58.45 | DarkStar1 | but if it's a app of sorts that you're using then maybe the username of the app doesn't have write access |
| 17:59.19 | mophilly | good thought. |
| 18:03.39 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: Anyways I have to disappear for two hours. I'll come back and have a crack at it later. |
| 18:04.11 | mophilly | Thanks, best of luck with your issue. |
| 18:05.16 | DarkStar1 | mophilly: At this point I'm hoping for a miracle |

| 21:52.47 | Strangeloop | Hi, I'm having a small crisis here and would appreciate any help. Our programmer quit on us and our website doesn't work all that well anymore. I have no experience with tomcat so I don't know how to start tackling this problem. We have apache configured with reverse proxy and we use jk as a connector. |
| 22:15.42 | *** join/#tomcat DarkStar1 (~Inprimus@cpc5-oxfd18-2-0-cust654.4-3.cable.virginmedia.com) |
| 22:19.22 | Ruum | Strangeloop.... um.... dont take this the wrong way... but it sounds like your up a creek without a paddle |
| 22:19.44 | Strangeloop | Ruum: I totally identify with this analogy |
| 22:20.15 | Ruum | because it takes more than just basic understanding of web stuff - to fully understand tomcat you need the following: |
| 22:20.32 | Strangeloop | The thing is, that I don't work for a megacorp or something, it's a website of a local student council which students needs to prepare for finals (which start in a week) and the programmer just left |
| 22:20.42 | Strangeloop | And I know I can't learn tomcat overnight |
| 22:21.10 | Strangeloop | But there is an installation which used to work until yesterday, and I am familiar with apache and unix in general |
| 22:21.14 | Ruum | understanding of the W3 web standards, java, and basic server admistration |
| 22:21.27 | Strangeloop | I am a system administrator |
| 22:21.48 | Ruum | but you need to understand programming as well |
| 22:22.08 | Strangeloop | Well, I'm about to finish my major in computer science, so I do know of it to some extent ;) |
| 22:22.14 | Ruum | being a server admin can allow you do do things like deployment, setup, and shutting down |
| 22:22.47 | Strangeloop | The thing is, that there's a system which is already up. I let the programmer deploy and configure all tomcat related stuff |
| 22:22.51 | Ruum | how well do you know this: HTML, CSS, Javascript, xml..... and then you need to know this big one |
| 22:22.52 | Ruum | JAVA |
| 22:22.59 | Strangeloop | Something went wrong and I don't know how to start diagnozing it |
| 22:23.29 | Ruum | it sounds like he wasnt really programming anything |
| 22:23.34 | Strangeloop | I know a lot more about java then I know about webdev |
| 22:23.50 | Ruum | deployment and configuration is not much programming at all |
| 22:24.04 | Strangeloop | Oh, he was. There's an extensive academic bank application which worked perfectly until this morning |
| 22:24.11 | Strangeloop | Which he designed |
| 22:24.39 | Ruum | its basic linux or windows stuff..... and then deployment is knowing where the .war files should be on the server |
| 22:24.53 | Strangeloop | OK, let me be more specific |
| 22:24.56 | Ruum | ok.... so he pretty much did everything |
| 22:25.02 | Ruum | no need |
| 22:25.27 | Ruum | haha you know... I would MUCH rather trade you problems |
| 22:25.43 | Strangeloop | The website is aguda.org.il, which is Drupal based. Whenever a user tries to access aguda.org.il/ab he should be forwarded to a jsp application |
| 22:26.01 | Strangeloop | I know where the application itself is on the server, I just don't know how to configure this connection |
| 22:26.24 | Ruum | mine is an opengrok problem.... and it seems that the IRC channel for this is now gone from freenode |
| 22:26.46 | Ruum | can you just please put in the whole URL? |
| 22:26.55 | Ruum | and jsp isnt really an application |
| 22:27.14 | Ruum | it is a modified form of a HTML web page |
| 22:27.27 | Ruum | it is the .war file that is the actually application. |
| 22:27.35 | Ruum | *actual |
| 22:27.55 | Strangeloop | http://aguda.org.il/ab |
| 22:28.05 | Ruum | thanks |
| 22:28.16 | Strangeloop | What you see there right now is a "page not found" |
| 22:28.39 | Strangeloop | I'm looking for .war files |
| 22:29.05 | Strangeloop | OK, I found the relevant .war file |
| 22:29.06 | Ruum | wow... I didnt know that hebrew was your native tongue... its a good thing I also use chrome |
| 22:29.47 | Ruum | well just having the war file is only half the battle |
| 22:29.58 | Strangeloop | At least I'm halfway there... |
| 22:30.01 | Ruum | what version of tomcat are you using do you know? |
| 22:30.07 | Strangeloop | 5.5 |
| 22:30.14 | Ruum | wow... ANCIENT |
| 22:30.26 | Ruum | you know that they are coming out with 7 right? |
| 22:30.46 | Strangeloop | Yup, unfortunately it's not native with cPanel |
| 22:30.47 | Ruum | anyway.... I know that doesnt help your current situation.... |
| 22:31.03 | Ruum | but you should consider upgrading in the future |
| 22:31.35 | Strangeloop | Well, the guys who run the website aren't very system savvy, and I don't work there regularly, they just hire me when things go bent |
| 22:31.47 | Strangeloop | So I want to keep it all simple and GUI |
| 22:32.06 | Ruum | ahaha well please keep in mind this |
| 22:32.24 | Ruum | for a java web application do you know what controls the GUI? |
| 22:33.57 | Strangeloop | nope |
| 22:34.37 | Strangeloop | Never had to deal with anything which has anything to do with servlets before |
| 22:36.05 | Ruum | ok... well with a NORMAL java desktop applcation |
| 22:36.21 | Ruum | it is the system or your OS that controls the parts of the GUI |
| 22:36.39 | Ruum | mostly its up to the java programmer what a gui looks like |
| 22:37.55 | Ruum | I have made some pretty robust java GUI's before |
| 22:38.22 | Ruum | now with a .war file or a java web app |
| 22:39.21 | Ruum | it falls to the HTML or the CSS (mostly.... with more advanced web GUI's there is javascript involved as well) to configure the GUI the way you like it |
| 22:40.12 | Ruum | so that is why it takes more advanced understanding of web programming to make a good java web app or a .war file |
| 22:40.43 | Ruum | because in this case knowing java by itself is not enough |
| 22:41.09 | Ruum | you need to ALSO know W3 web standards as well... |
| 22:42.07 | Ruum | that is why for future reference... for making web applications its easier to start with something more simple like php..... its alot easier to setup and deploy |
| 22:42.16 | Ruum | but for more advanced web programming |
| 22:42.25 | Ruum | the muscle comes with java |
| 22:42.55 | Ruum | because java has alot of power behind it |
| 22:43.12 | Strangeloop | I have no intention on developing anything on tomcat for now |
| 22:43.24 | Strangeloop | I just want to get it to work the way it did until they find a new programmer |
| 22:43.32 | Ruum | so.... for you to take a crash course in web applications with tomcat..... well if its life and death.... |
| 22:43.47 | Strangeloop | Next semester I'm taking a class about current internet technologies... I guess I'll be wiser after that |
| 22:44.11 | Ruum | my suggestion is alot of coffee and no life for about 3-4 days |
| 22:45.06 | Strangeloop | OK, now that I have a .war file, and I know I want any connection going to aguda.org.il/ab to be redirected to that app |
| 22:45.14 | Strangeloop | Where's a good place to start? |
| 22:45.42 | Ruum | well do you want a quick fix? |
| 22:45.53 | Strangeloop | The stylesheets that app is supposed to use are the same ones that the website uses in general |
| 22:45.56 | Ruum | or do you want to understand the whole thing |
| 22:46.11 | Ruum | again... a stylesheet is not the application |
| 22:46.40 | Strangeloop | I'm always happy to learn new things throughly, but the more time it takes me to fix this, the less time before exams people have an academic bank |
| 22:46.41 | Ruum | stylesheets help design the GUI for ANY webpage |
| 22:46.51 | Strangeloop | I know that... |
| 22:46.54 | Ruum | kk |
| 22:46.56 | Ruum | good |
| 22:47.14 | Ruum | look if you want a REALLY quick fix.... |
| 22:47.20 | Strangeloop | You were saying .war uses existing stylesheets for it's layout, so I was pointing out that these stylesheets exist, and they belong to the main site |
| 22:48.07 | Ruum | ok.... here is what I understand about web apps in about one minute or less |
| 22:48.12 | Ruum | first here is java |
| 22:48.21 | Ruum | when java is compiled.... |
| 22:48.37 | Ruum | it is compiled to a .class file |
| 22:48.52 | Ruum | this class file contains what is called bytecode |
| 22:49.31 | Ruum | the bytecode is read by the java virtual machine (or known as the jvm) and this is turned into machine code or binary |
| 22:49.37 | Strangeloop | Did I mention that I'm a comp-sci major? |
| 22:49.51 | Ruum | right.... I am getting to all of this... |
| 22:49.59 | Ruum | now that is basic java... |
| 22:50.02 | Ruum | NOW |
| 22:50.12 | Ruum | with tomcat...... |
| 22:50.42 | Ruum | oops I forgot a step |
| 22:50.53 | Strangeloop | I know all the steps, don't worry |
| 22:51.13 | Ruum | (back to basic java) now when class files are compressed they make a .jar file |
| 22:51.17 | Ruum | now with tomcat |
| 22:51.26 | Ruum | you need the tomcat |
| 22:52.02 | Ruum | plus something that will build and extract the application like ant |
| 22:52.10 | Ruum | and that is what i normally use |
| 22:52.14 | Ruum | tomcat + ant |
| 22:52.43 | Ruum | so tomcat is like apache for java |
| 22:53.00 | Ruum | and ant is almost like the compiler |
| 22:53.41 | Ruum | so... getting to your questions about stylesheets and .html files.... |
| 22:53.46 | Ruum | here is the deal |
| 22:54.32 | Ruum | what tomcat does is that like a .jar file that is consists of all .class files |
| 22:55.56 | Ruum | tomcat + ant will take a .war file that contains not only .class files but .xml files, .jsp files (which is like the java version of HTML), your .css files, and your javascript files |
| 22:56.07 | Ruum | and compress them into a .war file |
| 22:57.20 | Ruum | so this comprehensive explanation is explain what a .war file is and what tomcat + ant does |
| 22:57.47 | Strangeloop | OK, and given that I already have a .war file, and all I want is for it to run...? |
| 22:57.58 | Ruum | pretty much |
| 22:58.27 | Ruum | this is based on the assumption that your tomcat has a building and extraction tool like ant |
| 22:58.43 | Strangeloop | Which I need to create the .war file |
| 22:58.48 | Strangeloop | I get it, but I already have a .war file |
| 22:58.56 | Ruum | because without ant.... your .war file will not be extracted... thus it will not be deployed. |
| 22:59.05 | Strangeloop | I understand |
| 22:59.09 | Ruum | kk |
| 22:59.20 | Strangeloop | So a .war file is something I need to deploy |
| 22:59.26 | Ruum | yep |
| 22:59.40 | Strangeloop | I think it already is deployed then |
| 23:00.09 | Ruum | well the best thing to do is go to the web page where you think its deployed |
| 23:00.16 | Ruum | and inneract with it |
| 23:00.37 | Strangeloop | I have a directory in the server |
| 23:00.56 | Strangeloop | which contains all the css, jsp, and images of that application |
| 23:01.05 | Strangeloop | and also META-INF/ WEB-INF/ dirs |
| 23:01.31 | Strangeloop | So I guess it's from the war file, or at least a tar file of some kind |
| 23:02.44 | Ruum | well the META and the WEB stuff is more technical details.... they arent need to be understood to fix or modify to make it run |
| 23:02.46 | Ruum | HOWEVER |
| 23:03.07 | Ruum | I wouldnt mess with anything there..... until you understand xml |
| 23:03.17 | Strangeloop | I don't intend to |
| 23:03.18 | Ruum | I wouldnt mess with those folders |
| 23:03.21 | Ruum | good |
| 23:03.37 | Strangeloop | I'm pretty sure the code itself is fine, something just got broken in the server configurations |
| 23:03.48 | Strangeloop | Because some moron rebuilt apache without consulting me |
| 23:04.00 | Ruum | shit.... |
| 23:04.13 | Strangeloop | I had backups of most of the main configuration files |
| 23:04.15 | Ruum | well this sounds like its not a tomcat problem |
| 23:04.31 | Ruum | but.... what you COULD do is... keep the .war file |
| 23:04.39 | Strangeloop | It's somewhere between tomcat and apache |
| 23:04.53 | Ruum | ok... here is the easiest and safest fix |
| 23:05.01 | Strangeloop | I don't know if it's apache, or tomcat, or the connector |
| 23:05.02 | Ruum | make a copy of the war file |
| 23:05.39 | Ruum | I think the "connector" your referring to would be something like ant |
| 23:05.55 | Strangeloop | Nope, I'm talking about jk |
| 23:05.58 | Ruum | but your safest bet is..... |
| 23:06.26 | Strangeloop | It's an apache module which allows me to pass jsp requests to tomcat using reverse proxy configuration |
| 23:07.02 | Ruum | haha shit dude... your problem REALLY is that your using a very old version of tomcat... |
| 23:07.31 | Ruum | most people dont even use jakarta anymore |
| 23:07.54 | Ruum | ok... if they have upgraded your apache server |
| 23:08.08 | Strangeloop | They didn't, same version |
| 23:08.10 | Ruum | from say..... 2.1 to 2.2 or something...... |
| 23:08.14 | Strangeloop | they upgraded php, which I had to downgrade |
| 23:08.56 | Ruum | well you now have 2 choices again.... |
| 23:09.21 | Ruum | but before you do ...what OS are you using and what version? |
| 23:09.33 | Ruum | I would assume linux |
| 23:09.45 | Ruum | since your using apache |
| 23:09.52 | Strangeloop | centos |
| 23:09.53 | Strangeloop | 5 |
| 23:12.17 | Ruum | I like centos |
| 23:12.53 | Ruum | kk well it sounds like your using a up-to-date version of centos |
| 23:12.58 | Strangeloop | Are you going to tell me what you think I should do? |
| 23:13.28 | *** join/#tomcat IceFacesIsAFix (~IceFacesI@xdsl-89-0-66-7.netcologne.de) |
| 23:13.41 | Ruum | well I think you should just upgrade your apache |
| 23:14.03 | Strangeloop | You don't even know what apache version I'm using... |
| 23:14.15 | Ruum | what version then? |
| 23:14.50 | Strangeloop | 3.2 |
| 23:14.57 | Strangeloop | Wait, no |
| 23:15.18 | Strangeloop | 2.2, sry |
| 23:16.10 | Ruum | ya they dont have 3.2 yet... haha |
| 23:16.19 | Ruum | well that is the most recent |
| 23:16.30 | Strangeloop | I'm aware of that |
| 23:16.34 | Ruum | it sounds like you could have kept the lastest php verson |
| 23:16.43 | Strangeloop | I couldn't |
| 23:16.48 | Strangeloop | and it's not really relevant |
| 23:16.58 | Ruum | oh well.... ya that is what i was going to say |
| 23:17.12 | Strangeloop | Listen, do you know to help me find where this should be configured? |
| 23:17.17 | Ruum | your REAL problem is that the simplest fix is what I was saying |
| 23:17.28 | Strangeloop | Which is? |
| 23:17.28 | Ruum | you should just save the .war file |
| 23:17.35 | Strangeloop | and...? |
| 23:17.48 | Ruum | then uninstall tomcat and ant |
| 23:18.14 | Ruum | and reinstall with the latest stable versions |
| 23:18.26 | Ruum | then redeploy your .war file |
| 23:19.06 | Strangeloop | OMG, either you have no clue what you're talking about or you're a troll |
| 23:19.20 | Ruum | dude... here is the thing |
| 23:19.45 | Ruum | I know you probably have some special configs with your current tomcat |
| 23:19.51 | *** join/#tomcat DarkStar1 (~Inprimus@cpc5-oxfd18-2-0-cust654.4-3.cable.virginmedia.com) |
| 23:20.12 | DarkStar1 | Hi ppl. It would seem I have a runaway tomcat process |
| 23:20.14 | Ruum | but the problem is that unless you know EXACTLY where the problem is that you could be at it for hours and hours and ours |
| 23:20.36 | Ruum | trying to "debug" your tomcat problem |
| 23:21.00 | Ruum | because if the war is unscathed.... then ya its your tomcat |
| 23:21.15 | Strangeloop | I know that! |
| 23:21.27 | Strangeloop | My entire question was where should I start looking |
| 23:21.30 | Strangeloop | :/ |
| 23:21.39 | DarkStar1 | I have been at this for hours now and just noticed something every time I do a ps -eaf | grep tomcat.. The pid for tomcat changes. I have no ide what's causing this |
| 23:21.55 | Ruum | well do you want to go through a TON of config files? |
| 23:22.49 | Ruum | I know it sounds like a CRAZY idea to wipe clean your tomcat and ant and start over..... |
| 23:23.06 | Ruum | but if you want to get this fixed as soon as possible.... |
| 23:23.36 | Ruum | well.... trust me when I say that it would not take you long to configure and install a new tomcat and ant |
| 23:23.38 | Strangeloop | Listen, I think the problem is me rewrite rules were reset |
| 23:23.52 | Strangeloop | I just don't know how to write a proper redirect |
| 23:23.59 | Strangeloop | To work between apache and tomcat |
| 23:24.59 | Ruum | ok... now I think your talking about getting the index.jsp file to autoload instead of having the webapp have to go to port 8080 |
| 23:25.21 | Ruum | to load your web app |
| 23:25.37 | Ruum | see this is in the xml configuration files |
| 23:25.56 | Ruum | that is how an index.jsp file is loaded. |
| 23:26.18 | Strangeloop | I don't have an index.jsp, I have a main.js |
| 23:26.19 | Ruum | but that is for a NORMAL working tomcat and a NORMAL working apache |
| 23:26.52 | Ruum | well main.js has NOTHING to do with the .war file working or not |
| 23:27.02 | Ruum | that is just a lame javascript file |
| 23:27.22 | Ruum | unless the main.js is controlling the redirect that your talking about |
| 23:28.22 | Ruum | another thing you could try is to remove the war file (DONT DELETE IT) and write a "hello world" java web application |
| 23:28.27 | Ruum | and try to get that to work |
| 23:29.47 | Strangeloop | is index.jsp supposed to be in tomcat's public_html? |
| 23:30.26 | Ruum | ok..... tomcat doesnt have an "public_hmtl" it has... hold up a sec... |
| 23:32.10 | Strangeloop | Nope, I don't seem to have any index.jsp file |
| 23:32.17 | Ruum | it has a place where you put the .war file that is like an "public_html" file |
| 23:32.32 | Ruum | and the war file SHOULD contain a index.jsp file |
| 23:32.50 | Ruum | for the server that I am on... its this: |
| 23:32.51 | Strangeloop | it doesn't |
| 23:35.29 | Ruum | then he could be javaserver faces or jsf instead |

| 23:35.44 | *** join/#tomcat MHSL (MHSL@cm94.sigma137.maxonline.com.sg) |
| 23:36.26 | Ruum | basically a war file SHOULD contain EVERYTHING that makes the web app work as far as code |
| 23:36.37 | Ruum | war is nothing more than a web jar file |
| 23:36.52 | Ruum | that is what war stands for "web jar" file |
| 23:37.11 | *** join/#tomcat dvayanu (~another@p578E9244.dip.t-dialin.net) |
| 23:40.37 | Ruum | so that is what I am saying |
| 23:40.45 | Ruum | you have 2 choices again... |
| 23:41.23 | Ruum | you can spend hours and hours trying to figure out where the configuration error is between the tomcat and the apache web server |
| 23:41.43 | Ruum | or your can just uninstall and reinstal |
| 23:41.54 | Ruum | reinstall |
| 23:42.53 | Ruum | and you might find that uninstall and reinstall might be faster in this case |
| 23:42.54 | Ruum | especially since your tomcat is pretty old |
| 23:43.06 | Ruum | and prolly takes alot more configuring to make it work |
| 23:43.28 | Ruum | I find that the newer the version the easier the tomcat is to setup |
| 23:44.24 | Ruum | but I am no pro with setting them up.... I just know that in some cases that it is easier to backup all your war files and uninstall and reinstall your tomcat server |
| 23:44.37 | Ruum | with ant |
| 23:45.27 | Ruum | so I can say again... I am not trying to troll here dude.... |
| 23:46.04 | Ruum | ultimately its up to you on which route you take |
| 23:46.23 | Ruum | but I know unistall and reinstall could be alot faster for you in the end |
| 23:46.44 | Ruum | then trying to become a tomcat configuring pro over night |
| 23:47.18 | Ruum | do you see my logic now strangloop ? |
| 23:49.16 | Ruum | anyway.... back to my question.... .does anyone know anything about opengrok? |
| 23:50.49 | Ruum | yo Strangeloop are you there? |
| 23:54.15 | Ruum | well I am going to get food bbiab |
