IceScrum doesn't start in tomcat

[amit.chouksey]

Hi,

I have deployed icescrub war in tomcat server on a ubuntu OS.

However it doesn’t start in tomcat. It says:

FAIL – Application at context path /agilefant could not be started.

I am new to tomcat server so I am not sure how to get to bottom of this. I already tried searching in google but couldn’t find anything to fix this issue.

could someone please help.

Hello,

It seems that it’s a competitor that didn’t start actually 😉

Do you more detail?

[amit.chouksey]

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I am so sorry for the mistake. The the actual error reads like this

FAIL – Application at context path /icescrum could not be started

Honestly speaking, I have been trying to setup up both to evaluate, however no success so far.

In terms of more information, which logs would you want me to share?

[Vincent Barrier]

Without any more detail. It difficult to help you…

BUT there is another solution, try our jar which embed Tomcat and configure everything for you 🙂

More information here: https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/install-guide/#start

Another insight: iceScrum doesn’t work with Tomcat 8 / java 8 (will be compatible soon)

Vincent, I understood IceScrum 6 does not work with Tomcat 8, but had no problem with Java 8. Please, as per your last comment, can I infer IceScrum does not allow Java 8 even under Tomcat 7? (This might be the misterious cause to my failure in setup WAR so far.)

Thanks and best regards,

Fábio

Ok, got it:

Here https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/install-guide/ it is said no Java 8, although here https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/application-server/ says only no Tomcat 8. I mistook Tomcat 7 allowed for Tomcat 7 and any Java allowed, since Tomcat 7 does support Java 8 (here: http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html it says Tomcat 7 supports Java 7 and up.)

If you don’t mind telling me if I got it right or not, please do and set my troubled mind free. 🙂

Best regards,

Fábio

If you install it on Tomcat 7, iceScrum also requires Java 6 or 7.

The install documentation used to be one document but it has been split into two and the information has not been duplicated. It is now duplicated to avoid any confusion: https://www.icescrum.com/documentation/application-server/

My troubled mind has been set free. 😉 Merci beaucoup Mr. Noullet. ‘Revoir, Fábio

De nada Fábio, hasta luego 🙂
