Rename Bonita webapp to new name

Q&A
1

We have BonitaSoft 6.3 Subscription Edition, and we have the combined Tomcat/Bonita package which works great for us so far.

One of the things we need to do is change the webapp from bonita to something else:
we have now: https://localhost:8080/bonita
and we’d like: https://localhost:8080/mywebapp

I made a backup of the original directory so in case I mess up, I have this backup.

The first error that I get is:

As it states: Document base C:\BonitaBPMSubscription-6.3.7-Tomcat-6.0.37\webapps\bonita does not exist or is not a readable directory
which is correct, this directory doesn’t exist.

So, the question is … which configuration files do I need to rename from “bonita” to “mywebapp” if any?
Is there any other changes I need to make in order to make this work? Does the portal have to have the name /bonita instead of /somethingelse?
Is there anything I have to change in the database? Some config table maybe?

BTA, under my directory which is named: c:\BonitaBPMSubscription-6.3.7-Tomcat-6.0.37
the directory “bonita” was NOT changed. This directory still has a “client” and “server” folder which was not changed?

Any help is most appreciated, and if you need any more information from me, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,
You need to rename the XML context file for the webapp (curently bonita.xml in conf/Catalina/localhost) so that it matches your new webapp name.
I think that’s it. Let me know if it works.

I just checked the bonita log, and there is a lot of errors in there, it starts out with:
