Installing Messenger in Tomcat 5.5.9 as WAR File

Openfire Openfire Support

Hi there,

currently i try to install JiveMessenger as WAR File into a Tomcat 5.5.9

I create the WAR file with the ANT-Task. Before this i run ANT-ALL

The WAR File is created sucessfully but there is no /conf /plugins /logs Folder integrated after deployment.

Then when i run setup i get the messengerHome Not Found Error like some other users here in the forum. After i read all theese posts i created a folder classes in the WEB-INF Folder. There i integrated the messenger-init.xml and set the path to messengerHome here.

After this i tried starting Tomcat with -DmessengerHome=PathToMyMessengerHome

But nothing helped.

So how i have to configure messengerHome?

My Tomcat is placed here here:

/home/myHome/Tools/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9

and i set messengerHome then to

/home/myHome/Tools/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/messenger

But nothing worked …

Can anyone describe me exactly how to configure this? Or is my WAR FIle corrupt? Can anyone provide me a WAR File which is working fine? ( to: info at arrasz dot de )

Kind Regards

Achim

Hello

Using the “ant war” task, a target/war/messengerHome is created. Use this path as -DmessengerHome attribute (or move the directory somewhere, like $HOME/messengerhome/ and set the -D attribute to this directory).

Hi,

i tried this all but it works not. I set read/write Permissions for ALL!!! to the messengerHome Folder. This also didn’'t work.

I read that the messenger-init.xml file which must be located in /WEB-INF/classes could also be named as jive-init.xml? Where is the difference?

Any help is appreciated

Kind Regards

Hey Achim,

I just created a new document in the knowledge base about how to install war files. Take a look at the url=http://www.jivesoftware.org/community/entry.jspa?externalID=431&categoryID=2 2KB doc[/url] and let me know how it goes. Hope that helps.

Hi,

i tried installing the WAR File with hte Manager-App. At Tomcat startup there is nothing bad in catalina.out but when i reload the app with manager-app then i got the following exception:

Critical Error! The home directory has not been configured,

which will prevent the application from working correctly.

So i suppose that there is some kind of incompatibility with Tomcat?

I tried the following for now:

1.) start tomcat with startup.sh -DmessengerHome=/home/myHome/Tools/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/webapps/messenge r/messengerHome

messengerHome has 777 rights and there is a folder /conf included where jive-messenger.xml resides. But i got this as second part of the exception:

ERROR 11277 ():

java.io.FileNotFoundException: XML properties file does not exist: jive-messenger.xml

at org.jivesoftware.util.XMLProperties.
