Installation issues with Tomcat7/Bonita 6.1.1
OK. I have installed Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 12. Tested the default install and it ran fine.
I followed the instructions here for a Ubuntu/OpenJDK/Tomcat/MySQL install and found the instructions to be very detailed and clear. I am having one hitch though. Tomcat won't start.
In the instructions there is a place referencing the mysql jar:
Add JDBC driver
You need to include JDBC driver in Tomcat classpath:
- Change to Tomcat libraries directory:
cd /usr/share/tomcat7/lib- Create a link to include the driver (don't forget the command ending dot character):
sudo ln -s ../../java/mysql.jar .
I could not find a file /usr/share/java/mysql.jar??? I assumed it was just a standin name for the latest mysql jar so I downloaded and placed "mysql-connector-java-5.1.29-bin" from the MySQL site and then created a link as instructed.
I have confirmed everything else about the instructions aboud copied files, permissions, etc.
When I try to start Tomcat I get the following in the log:

I have check my connection string and have connected manually to the MySQL server and database using the bonita credentials that I set up.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS> I really like what I see upgrading from 5.7 to 6.2!
Hi,
I think you don't put the following librairies in [YOUR_TOMCAT_HOME]\lib\ :
- jta
- btm-tomcat55-lifecycle
- btm
Best regards,

Copy the libraries (.jar files) from the Deploy bundle to your Tomcat folder:
sudo cp bonita-tomcat-valve-6.0.35.jar btm-2.1.3.jar btm-tomcat55-lifecycle-2.1.3.jar jta-1.1.jar slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar slf4j-jdk14-1.6.1.jar /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/
Yes. They are there.
Now I am at work (wayyyyyy early):

Yes. Although the docs on the page differ in that they do not have the "set" in front of both lines that did not make a difference.
My current setenv.sh file:
#!/bin/sh
# Define location of Bonita "home" folder
BONITA_HOME="-Dbonita.home=/opt/bonita/bonita_home-6.1.1"
# Bitronix (JTA for Tomcat) configuration

set BONITA_HOME="-Dbonita.home=%CATALINA_HOME%\bonita"
set BTM_OPTS="-Dbtm.root=%CATALINA_HOME%" "-Dbitronix.tm.configuration=%CATALINA_HOME%\conf\bitronix-config.properties"CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} ${BONITA_HOME} ${BTM_OPTS} ${DB_OPTS} -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xshare:auto -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"
export CATALINA_OPTS
I really need to get this running today. It has been down (for other reasons) all week. At some point If this is noit up then I need to shift gears and try the prepackaged Bonita in Tomcat 6.
OK:
Here are the instructions from the example page:
Then you need to configure the data source:
- Create new folders in order to store Bitronix files:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/bonita/btm/conf && sudo mkdir /opt/bonita/btm/work- Set the ownership of the Bitronix folder:
sudo chown -R root:tomcat7 /opt/bonita/btm- Allow a group to write to the folder:
sudo chmod g+w /opt/bonita/btm/conf && sudo chmod g+w /opt/bonita/btm/work- Copy the Bitronix configuration files to
/opt/bonita/btm/conffolder:sudo cp ~/BonitaBPMSubscription-6.1.1-deploy/Tomcat-6.0.37/conf/bitronix-* /opt/bonita/btm/conf/- Edit
bitronix-resources.propertiesfile, comment (using #) h2 section, uncomment MySQL example and update the username, password and DB name ("bonita" in the URL property) to match your configuration (e.g. bonita_db_user, bonita_db_password and bonita_db):sudo nano /opt/bonita/btm/conf/bitronix-resources.properties- Save and quit:
CTRL+X, Y, ENTER
You are saying that this is incorrect? That it needs to change from /opt/bonita/btm/ to /usr/share/tomcat7/conf? What about the /opt/bonita/btm/work folder? Does that change to /usr/share/tomcat7/conf as well?
If this is true /usr/share/tomcat7 does not currently have a conf folder. Do I create one? If my path tomcat oath is /usr/share/tomcat7/conf then what shoulkd the path be to these two folders?
I changed gears and installed thge jBoss bundle - now it is working. NOt sure where Tomcat when wrong???
Comments
Where is the \lib\bonita folder? There is no \bonita folder in my \lib folder???
Hi,
Have you put your JAR mysql-connector-java in [YOUR_TOMCAT_HOME]\lib\bonita ?
Have you configurate the files [YOUR_TOMCAT_HOME]\conf\bitronix-resources.properties, [YOUR_TOMCAT_HOME]\conf\Catalina\localhost\bonita.xml, and [YOUR_TOMCAT_HOME]\bin\setenv. bat (for Windows) or .sh (for Linux) ?
Best regards,
Céline
Sorry, my bad...
I started over and followed the instructions. At every step I started and stopped Tomcat7 to insure that it was still working. The installation is failing for me at this step when I add the Bitronix stuff.
When I add the following lines:
I get the following error when starting Tomcat7:
Also, When the line is added to /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/setenv.sh:
Does it need to be in any specific place? It seems it would need to be before the "CATALINA_OPTS=" line and this line would need to change.
