Cannot start engine in Tomcat bundle (7.4.1 on MacOS)

Q&A
1

Hello:

I installed the BonitaBPMCommunity-7.4.1 on my Mac using the All-In-One installer (dpkg). I am following the instructions in /Applications/BonitaBPMCommunity-7.4.1/workspace/tomcat/HOW_TO_INSTALL_AND_RUN.txt to start the engine in the tomcat bundle (after doing a chmod to make all of the shell scripts executable). The engine started up, created all of the database tables, and then shutdown because it detected that the studio was not running. I started up the studio and tried again. The engine started up, detected that the studio was running, and then shutdown again for an unspecified reason.

I am using Java 1.8.0_112-b16, and mysql 5.5.49.

Below is a snippet from the server/logs/bonita.*.log file:

  1. There are a number of places in the docs where it talks about installing the engine. Are these the correct instructions?
  2. Any ideas why the engine immediately shutdown? Something to do with Studio?

Thanks,
Gerald

@Gerald,

I think the issue is you are trying to run two copies of similar things at the same time…

You talk about installing Studio and then how to run Tomcat Bundle.

You cannot run both at the same time…this is a limitation of Tomcat not Bonitasoft itself unless you consider Tomcat as part of Bonitasoft.

If it is a requirement you could try to run Studio at the same time as running WildFly Bundle. The only requirement being to change port numbers for either Studio or WildFly.

My recommendation and to make it much easier is to change WildFly by starting it similar to as found here:
