Hi,

I use BonitaBPMCommunity-7.3.2-Tomcat-7.0.67 and I have configured the engine with dbms postgres following all the steps in the documentation “Database configuration”.

When I run the file bonita-start.bat there are this messages

The service http://localhost:8080/ doesn’t start and I don’t have any instruction of the error.
Help me.
I try to promove bonita in our production (with licency subsequently), but if It doesn’t work …I don’t hope it.

Thanks.

When changing the database you MUST NOT start the service before changing the parameters. This is vital.

I can assure you it works it just takes a lot of patience to get it right.

I wrote something up recently on how to do this correctly, and have submitted a bug report because it’s not very clear at all.

  1. In postgresql create a user you will use for bonitasoft databases
  2. Create the two databases manually

bonita_journal for the Bonita Engine, and
bonita_business_data for the Business Data

  1. Run setup.bat

http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=BonitaBPM_platform_setup

  1. Then configure the various xml files etc.

Hello,

Just to confirm, is it the documentation you used? http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=database-configuration

Do you get any information in the bonita.2016-09-16.log file? If there is an error, it might be there.

Also did you validate that you manage to start the server right after download? By default, the bundle Tomcat will use a H2 database. If it works, we can focus on the Database configuration part, if it doesn’t maybe something else is going on.

Finally, if you consider getting a Subscription version, you should contact Bonitasoft: http://www.bonitasoft.com/contact-us They will be happy to assist you.

Cheers

Thanks you for the answers.
I resolved friday reconfiguring the various xml files and I resolved the problem.

Thanks.
