Q&A

Hi everybody,

I’m trying to deploy the bonita 7.3 community edition on a tomcat 7 contained into an ubuntu 16.
I’ve follow this tutorial http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonitabpm/?page=ubuntu-openjdk-tomcat-postgresql.

However i’m getting the following error while trying to start the tomcat container.

i could not find where should i specify the dbVendor.

i’ve also tried to clone the code for the community edition following this tutorial http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/bonitabpm/?page=building-community-edition-from-source without success.

Thanks in advance for the help

Hi,

The dbVendor should be set in the setenv.sh. Depends on the Linux distribution or Tomcat version, it might occur that the setenv.sh script is not executed. Could you double check that the script is actually executed and the value has been correctly set.

Cheers
