Mac osx installatoin seems to have no admin console

Downlaod and install show no errors.

./wildfire start shnows no error, did have to change the path to java home as recommended on this bulletin board.

stop and start continue to work OK

ps shows wildfire running

BUT, connot find a “.html” or “.xml” file that launches admin console

the index.html file in file:///usr/bin/wildfire/plugins/admin/webapp/index.html yields this error:

file:///usr/bin/wildfire/plugins/admin/webapp/index.jsp not found.

The is no such file on the server.

Help - please.

Hi Don,

would you please take a look in the log directory, maybe there is already an exception in error.log. What is the error message you get when you open http://localhost:9090/ (replace localhost with the name of the server where Wildfire is running)?

Note that since 3.1.1, Wildfire requires Java 1.5.0_09, which is not available for Mac OS X for running the web interface. You might want to use 3.1.0 instead until this issue is fixed.

Hi Andreas,

this is not true as Wildfire runs fine with any 1.5.0 JRE (I didn’'t test this but I still use 1.5.0_07 without problems or exceptions). Sun does not add new features to minor or bugfix releases.

Mac OSX installation here:

Mac Mini G4 (1.42Ghz)

OSX Server 10.4.x

JDK 1.5.x

MySQL 5.x.x

All “running” well. Wildfire is up 24/7, but the transports are a bit flaky (namely MSN and Yahoo).

I wasn’'t the only one to experience the issues:

The problem isn’‘t with new features, but for some reason one class of the admin plugin doesn’‘t load with older versions. I’‘m not sure why it works for some, but it definitely didn’'t work on my machine with 1.5.0_07 (using Linux).

One can read in this thread “A simple restart of the server fixes the problem. It seems to be related with the pack200 uncompression logic.” so I wonder if you changed the JRE and did the restart.

Don,

I think the issue is as simple as entering http://localhost:9090 into your web browser. We’‘ve done some recent testing on OS X and everything should work great. One thing we’'re working on is a control panel for the Mac. That will make it even easier to stop/start the server and enter the admin console.

Regards,

Matt

I don’‘t have root access on that server (it’‘s shared hosting), so I wouldn’'t even be able to restart the server if I wanted.

Hi,

for a reboot one needs root access but to restart Wildfire one does not need root access unless one has a very ugly setup.
