[xwiki-users] New install problem: 404 from Tomcat
Hi all, Just attempted to deploy the XWiki 1.4 .WAR distribution into Tomcat 5.5.20, using PostgreSQL, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to load the Xwiki main page. I deployed the wiki by dropping the .war file into the webapps directory, and Tomcat subsequently automatically unpacked the WAR into an 'xwiki' directory. But now when I go to my host : http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ , I get an Apache Tomcat 404 error, saying "The requested resource (/xwiki/) is not available.". It's not even an XWiki 404 - it's a default Tomcat one, the same as I'd get if I loaded http://localhost:8080/ThisWebAppDoesNotExist . I'm sure I've installed the Xwiki war incorrectly, but can anyone point me in the right direction - where have I gone wrong? I'm deploying on CentOS 5 using the default Tomcat installation which comes with that OS. The only thing I've changed is the Hibernate configuration to reflect a Postgre database (which is set up). Thanks in advance. Graeme West Glasgow Caledonian University is a registered Scottish charity, number SC021474
Graeme, If you've just deployed it, you usually need to ensure you've setup the hibernate to point to your database (it's fairly simple to do, just edit the file and uncomment the relative area, adding in account details as needed). AFAIK tomcat won't start the app until it has a valid db connection, which could explain why you're getting a tomcat error (and not an xwiki error) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Graeme West Sent: 12 June 2008 13:02 To: XWiki Users Subject: [xwiki-users] New install problem: 404 from Tomcat Hi all, Just attempted to deploy the XWiki 1.4 .WAR distribution into Tomcat 5.5.20, using PostgreSQL, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to load the Xwiki main page.

Have you done this (accordingly)? cd /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/
wget http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar
chown tomcat55:nogroup /var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc4.jar /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart
I'm fighting right now with Ubuntu 8.04 Server. I'm just getting a white page and I know that other users did get that too, but because I used Debian Etch before I always thought they are doing something wrong...now I believe something in Ubuntu is broken...dammit...6 times a complete server setup...the same steps one time in Debian and voila, it works....

Hi Graeme, Do you see any error in the container log ? Having the DB misconfigured lead to a XWiki exception, getting a 404 means that the container hasn't deployed the webapp. Can it be a right issue ? Is the owner of the xwiki webapp files tomcat:tomcat ? On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 2:07 PM, Esbach, Brandon <[email protected]> wrote:

The owner is varying from distribution to distribution...sometimes it's tomcat55:nogroup (debian+ubuntu) or if you install tomcat from source, whatever you have defined... But Jean-Vincent is right, that could be an issue too. On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 9:18 AM, Jean-Vincent Drean <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi all, Thanks for your ideas. I'm using 'postgresql-jdbc3.jar', which shipped with CentOS 5, in the /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib directory. It has the correct permissions and ownership (the same as all the other tomcat libs). I just tried switching to using MySQL with the MySQL/j connector instead - this gave the same result. So I'm thinking it's a Tomcat problem. I've also tried deleting the Xwiki webapp folder, and letting Tomcat re-unpack it. Same result. I can't see anything unusual in the Tomcat logs at all, unfortunately. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. Graeme West On 12 Jun 2008, at 15:02, Squirrel wrote:

Just to let you know: I just tried it with CentOS 5 too, without any success. I tried it again with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no success (I spent over 12 hours, installing the whole server more than 5 times from scratch, searching for infos, etc.) Switched back, again, to Debian Etch, 30 min. later everything is up and running.

Hi Graeme,
Do you see any error in the container log ? Having the DB misconfigured lead to a XWiki exception, getting a 404 means that the container hasn't deployed the webapp. Can it be a right issue ? Is the owner of the xwiki webapp files tomcat:tomcat ?

Hi Squirrel, Thanks for the info. I might give the standalone distribution one more go and then I'll give up...
Thanks for your help everyone.

Just to let you know:
I just tried it with CentOS 5 too, without any success. I tried it again with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no success (I spent over 12 hours, installing the whole server more than 5 times from scratch, searching for infos, etc.) Switched back, again, to Debian Etch, 30 min. later everything is up and running.
Boy, freaking distro bunglers...

Sorry lacking in better ideas...

Hi all, Thanks for your ideas. I'm using 'postgresql-jdbc3.jar', which shipped with CentOS 5, in the /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib directory. It has the correct permissions and ownership (the same as all the other tomcat libs).
I just tried switching to using MySQL with the MySQL/j connector instead - this gave the same result. So I'm thinking it's a Tomcat problem.
I've also tried deleting the Xwiki webapp folder, and letting Tomcat re-unpack it. Same result.
I can't see anything unusual in the Tomcat logs at all, unfortunately.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

The owner is varying from distribution to distribution...sometimes it's tomcat55:nogroup (debian+ubuntu) or if you install tomcat from source, whatever you have defined...
But Jean-Vincent is right, that could be an issue too.
