[xwiki-users] [Mac OS X 10.5.7, PostgreSQL 8.3.7, Java 1.5.0_16, Tomcat 6.0.18] Xwiki WAR running in a Tomcat container started as a daemon

Hi,
Following the instructions given at http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html
, I was able to get my Tomcat container started
as daemon. I already put the Xwiki WAR file in the 'webapps'
directory. Pointing the browser to http://localhost:8080/xwiki only gave
me a blank page. Nothing on it. However manually starting Tomcat
brings me back the correct behavior (the well known Xwiki starting
page).
In the daemon mode, the others contexts (like 'manager', 'examples')
work. Only the Xwiki one did not. What am I doing wrong? Does
anyone already have some experience with a Xwiki in a daemon started
Tomcat container? Attached, you will find the 'jsvc' processes
started and 'catalina.out'. Tell me if you need more information.
Many thanks for you help,
christian

I can just confirm this behaviour and share with you a couple of
messages that John Malis (jmalis(a)malisphoto.com) sent to me last
October 2008 on this issue. I've not been able to work on this issue
since then. I do hope they could be useful for you!

Hello Ricardo,
I just use the admin id since I just use OS X for development. When you
create and unpack the tomcat executables as admin, everything will have
read/write access and admin ownership with read/write access. You can
set up your own system id specifically for Tomcat. Look at the mysql
instructions on how to do it. Just give ownership to that id to
everything in the Tomcat directory and make sure the owner has
read/write access to everything. (chown -R). Maybe give admin group or
admin id to the Tomcat directory group permissions (chgrp -R).

One more thing. I forgot that if you want to run tomcat under an id
other than your own, I believe you will have to use jsvc to boot tomcat.

Hi Ricardo,
Many thanks for your answer. I am not sure what I have to do.
When John is talking about admin id, is he thinking about root? On my
Mac Leopard, I am logged as
normal user (lets say 'guest', without any administrative rights). I
have another account to be able to
perform administrative tasks. As http://www.malisphoto.com/tips/tomcatonosx.html
is suggesting, I changed the owner of the Tomcat directory to
'guest:admin'. Is this the problem?
Should I perform a 'chown -R root:admin Tomcat'.
My 'Tomcat5.sh' file (used to start 'jsvc') partly looks as following:
...
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
CATALINA_HOME=/Library/Tomcat/Home
DAEMON_HOME=$CATALINA_HOME/bin
TOMCAT_USER=christianr
...
Should I change here the 'TOMCAT_USER' variable? I tried 'root' but
this did not solve the problem.
Best,
christian

I am afraid that I can not help you. As I said in the previous message,
I've had no time to follow the clues given in this two messages.
What seems clear is that we are not facing a XWiki issue, but a Mac OS
X/Tomcat interaction characteristic/oddity. In any case, I consider that
it is pertinent to keep this discussion alive here, in the XWiki users
list, as it relates with a given installation of XWiki (combining Mac OS
X with Tomcat and a RDBMS).
I have to catch up with this issue and I am afraid I won't be able to do
that in the following couple of weeks.
Please, could you consider to contact directly with John Malis
(jmalis(a)malisphoto.com)? I am sure that he is ready to help! But he of
course need somebody ready to spend so time on this side of the problem!
Thank you so much,
Ricardo

Hi Christian,
Just a cross-reference from devs list that could be useful in this thread

In Order to celebrate our migration to XWiki I converted the Wiki page
mention below to XWiki which can be found now here:
http://madplanet.com/xwiki/bin/view/Madplanet/Java+Startup+Scripts+on+Mac+O…
Eventually the other wiki is probably going away somewhere in the
future so update your links.
