[RESOLVED] Deploying on Tomcat 7

[alvaro.geosatis]

Hello! I am trying to deploy in Tomcat, as it is recommended. I get this error, I don’t find a more explicit log, and I do not know how to proceed.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey!

Did you follow our install guide?
Which java environment do you have?
Does the user who launch icescrum has an home folder with writable permissions?

We need information to help you 🙂

[Vincent Barrier]

I f you want a very quick setup and startup, use our icescrum.jar package (icescrum + tomcat server embedded): https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/install-guide/#start

You should start in less than 60sec 😉

You will go on a custom install, when you will be happy with icescrum features, that I sure you will ^^

[alvaro.geosatis]

icescrum.jar is not valid for us, since we need to change the serverURL.

I have follow the install guide.
Java version:
java version “1.7.0_91”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.3) (7u91-2.6.3-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.91-b01, mixed mode)
Permissions? Yes, we are running tomcat as a service, so root owns it (and we see that the log folder has been creted as we defined in config.groovy)

Thanks!

I have enabled the debugger, and I see that the problem is the connection with PSQL

Thanks!

You can do that with icescrum.jar:

From documentation:

You can optionally customize the iceScrum URL by providing additional arguments to the command :

host=value: Defaults to the first external ip found or fallback to localhost. Should be set in order to use iceScrum correctly.

port=value: Defaults to 8080. If you want to set it to 80 you must start the command as an administrator.
httpsPort=value: Defaults to nothing. If you want to set it to 443 you must start the command as an administrator.

context=value: Defaults to icescrum, so iceScrum will be accessible at http://host:port/icescrum. 

If you want to access to iceScrum like this: http://host:port/ set the context like this: context=/

Here is an example with custom options to open iceScrum on http://myhost:8081/app:

java -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -jar icescrum.jar host=myhost
port=8081 context=app

Did it help?

[alvaro.geosatis]

Sorry for the delay. We managed to make it run using the war. The connector for PSQL was missing, once added, everything went smooth.

Thanks for your support!

[Vincent Barrier]

Cool! Thank you for the feedback

Could you tell us which version of iceScrum did you install?
The latest releases already have PSQL. (As I’m writing, the last one is R6#14.8 Pro)

[alvaro.geosatis]

We are using R6#14.8 Pro Standalone! As you can see in a previous post, this was the exception while deploying:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver

After adding the psql driver to the tomcat libs folder everything run
