Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Are you using tomcat 7?  Try tomcat 6.

If you run the installer it will show you how to start all the services... 
(if you have specific questions let me know :) )

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Admin UI Troubles

We're bringing up a test box here at USU and the install went perfectly. 
We're running on a windows platform at the moment, anticipating some hooks
that will fire Powershell scripts.

Everything is default.  We are running hsqldb, the packaged tomcat & ant, etc
etc.

After a reboot we lost the initial startup of everything and realized we
hadn't logged the install to see what it was starting up and how.  Okay, we
set about starting everything up and building startup tasks and services.  We
have successfully done this with tomcat and hsqldb.

hsqldb 
C:\grouper>java -cp grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1\lib\jdbcSamples\hsqldb.jar
org.hsqldb.Server -database.0 file:grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1\grouper -dbname.0 
grouper

Tomcat
C:\grouper\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin>startup.bat start

This seems sufficient to bring the UI to life.  ...except for the 'Admin UI'
link.  Here we just get a general Tomcat message (http 500) that something
went wrong.  My initial thoughts are we must be missing something in
webservices that needs to be up, or maybe we need a grouper shell service
running or some other item we haven't started yet.  But reviewing the logs we
see this message repeated everywhere.

What are we missing in bringing grouper, in general, and specifically the
"Admin UI" back online?  I haven't managed to find the right wiki article or
user post that gives a list of how to start the individual services.  Is that
out there somewhere yet?  Just a quick list of Here's all the Grouper services
and how to start/restart/shutdown each that I've missed somewhere?

Thanks,
