Q&A
1

Hi, need some advise with Bonita Community... any help will be highly appreciatted.

Install the Community Bundle from Bonita using the How to set up for UBUNTU, TOMCAT, POSTGRESQL & JAVA, everuthing was done step by step, Tomcat tested before deployment, Postgres works fine creating users and DB.  Tomcatwas installed /opt/tomcat along with /opt/bonita.

Tomcat Manager can not start deployment even appear bonita on application list, from there start it and after some minutes show an error that can not be deployed on the path /bonita.

Try to start Bonita from Browser and get a 404 error.

Search on catalina.out log and have this findings:

Yes, but first want to thank your prompt response to this is highly appreciated,

Think will better to have your opinion if it is best to install it from the Tomcat Bundle and not try to adapt from the instructions for Tomcat, Postgresql and Java on Ubuntu. 

I did and verify this steps but is not working, maybe something is missing there.  Like this because my server is set with this configuration.

Please advise is the bundle forme to deinstall Tomcat or can coexist.

Regards

Yes you are right, but can't get the log file because ask my vendor to reset my VPS and re-install UBUNTU, by the time I read Marielle post was too late, I am very sorry for this and unable to send the logs to Marielle, i will respond to thank her.   Try the Bundle and take me some time to understand Docker but finally with your help is up now.  The idea is to evaluate Bonita vs. Axelor.   But I don't know if there is a complete demo of Bonita to evaluate, the Docker just install the Portal and need to create the apps and upload to.  Right now I will try to install the Bonita Studio on Portal and have my developers acquire knowledge over making a simple app to test it.

Best regards

Hi,

You might be able to get more information from the bonita log, as per:

23-Apr-2020 21:24:27.083 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal One or more listeners failed to start. Full details will be found in the appropriate container log $

Could you share the traces you see in the bonita log file when you start, you'll find the file here:  /server/logs/bonita.*.log ?

I stay tuned,

Marielle

Hi Marielle, Thanks you soo much but by the time I read your message my VPS was reinstalled and unable to get the log.  Now I have running the portal with the Docker.

Best regards

Hi,
It should not be complex to do the installation following the guide. The log file requested by marielle can really help to debug what can be wrong on the configuration.
Regarding using the bundle, I will recommend it as first test (or even Docker image) as it simplify installation. Once get used to the platform you can perform a more custom installation. https://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonita/7.10/bonita-docker-installation

Cheers
