Scalix Forums

Hi All.
Perfect install on an FC4 Box running the included Tomcat5 and j2sdk 1.4.2. After the install I get the Login screen come up and I enter the sxadmin username and password. I select "Not using secure login" and hit the login button.

A little message appears saying attempting to login and thats it. It just sits there.

I had a look around the forums and a few people had this issue if they were running Java 1.5 but I am running 1.4.2 as spec'd in the install notes.

Not even sure where to start looking into this problem, but I could really use some help or a point to a post in the forum where I will find the answers.

I'm really looking forward to playing with Scalix, it looks AWESOME!!!!!

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

so what does a ps -ef| grep java come up with?

Cheers,

Sascha.

Heres what I got back from ps -ef |grep java

tomcat 2869 1 0 10:18 ? 00:00:32 /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed -classpath /usr/lib/jvm/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-logging-api.jar:/usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/tomcat5/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
root 21255 21227 0 14:56 pts/4 00:00:00 grep java

I'm not sure what this means I'm looking at. Can you enlighten me?

It means your Tomcat is running and working allright. You should be able to see the demo page when you fire up the browser and connect to http://your.host.com:8080

Did you start Scalix (omrc ?)

Cheers,

Sascha.

Hi Mate
Yes. I get the tomcat page at localhost:8080 and if I type service scalix status I get:

I am facing the same problem. It sits at the login screen and wait.
The installation has been perfect. It seems some issue with JDK 1.5.

Thanks
Vikrant

I'm not using Java 1.5.

I cant believe that I'm the only one having this issue with FC4!

Please see the thread at http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=475

Also, can you post the output from $TOMCAT_HOME/catalina.out ?

Cheers

Hi All

Found the problem and thought I'd share it with the rest of the class. Fedora Core 4 comes with its own Tomcat5 Package. When I installed Scalix it found I had Tomcat running and so I assumed everything was cool. But either the Naming of the Tomcat packages or the location was not to Scalix's liking and so it would not engage.

I Uninstalled Scalix and then re-installed using the jakarta-tomcat tarball that comes with Scalix (in the third_party folder if you're looking for it) and Viola. Fully operational Scalix server.

Now to see what the bugger can do!

THanks to Sascha and dave and the support team. You're legends!

Kev

Where did you install the tarball. It creates a directory, but the default (as you probably know) is in the /usr/share/java directory. Also, do you use a startup script to kick off tomcat each time the computer boots? Would you mind sharing it?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi mate

I'm actually away from the box at the moment but from Memory I let it install in /root/jakarta...... like that

No I havent written a startup script yet, I was going to look into that when I get back. If youwrite one first then share it here. Me and many others will want to use it.

Kev

I may do that. I have a "template" script I used for Apple's Darwin Streaming Server. I just didn't know if anyone else had one yet. I'll post it when I get it working.

Thanks,
Brian

BTW, thanks for the info. I'm able to log in too!

There is a sample tomcat init.d script in the admin_resource_kit/ directory on the Scalix install media.

Cheers

Dave

Hello, I posted a question in the following discussion about this issue.
http://www.scalix.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=494

I am running FC4 and installed the latest JDK, per the Fedora release notes and the scalix release notes. Has anyone got this working with the latest JDK?

Thank you.
