Cannot start Aggregate 1.0 with Apache Tomcat 6.0

Hi everyone, I'm not an expert with ODK at all but have managed to
follow instructions to get the previous Aggregate version to work.

However, with Aggregate 1.0, I'm running into a lot of problems. I've
successfully installed Tomcat 6.0, MySQL 5.5 and followed all the
steps in the configuration of Aggregate 1.0 for MySQL. Right now, I'm
stuck after putting the ODKAggregate.war file into the webapps folder
of Apache Tomcat. I go to the Manager page of localhost:8080 and I
see ODKAggregate application there. I click "Start" but it gives me
this error message "FAIL - Application at context path /ODKAggregate
could not be started".

If you have any idea at all on where I might have committed an error,
please let me know. I could provide you with more details of my
installation if you want.

As far as I'm aware, I've followed all the instructions successfully
up until this point. Thanks in advance for your help. I really
appreciate it.

Hi Du,

One thing to double-check is that going to
http://localhost:8080/ODKAggregate
doesn't work itself (the application should have already been started).

For MySQL, be sure you copy the MySQL Connector/J jar into the
lib directory of the tomcat web server. After copying it into the lib
directory, you will probably need to stop and start the web server
so that it finds it.

And just to double-check the obvious -- you have created the database
as described in the README.html with the database creation script.

Finally, if none of that resolves your issue, look at the catalina log file
for today under tomcat's installation directory (e.g.,
logs\catalina.2011-06-28.log).
Search for SEVERE or WARNING (search upwards from the bottom of the file).
If it isn't clear what the problem is from the error, paste the log file
into
dpaste.com and send me the link.

pls am using postgreSQL and i can see my ODKAggregate listen on my tomcat application list but i cant start it in the tomcat

Hi all,

My first time out testing ODK.

Just to follow on to this thread and to provide a little more detail
for users who are somewhat technically challenged (as I am :D).

I was deploying ODK on my local system (Ubuntu Linux) with my own
Tomcat 6 and MySQL. Used the rather awesome v1.0 rev 3 linux
installer. Did the MySQL setup and had similar errors trying to deploy
the war (snippets from catalina.out below for searchability).

As per mitch's instructions. I downloaded mysql-connector-
java-5.1.17.zip from the MySQL website (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
connector/j/)

I unzipped it and copied the jar into /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/
ODKAggregate/WEB-INF/lib/

Restarted tomcat6 and it all works great!

Thanks,

Bird

This did the trick;

Copy mysql-connector-java-5.1.17-bin.jar to /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/
ODKAggregate/WEB-INF/lib/

I was previously copying the .jar file to /var/lib/tomcat6/ but this was
NOT working.

Read your Tomcat and PostgreSQL logs. What do they say?

Hi, can i have some help.

I have the same issue, my catalina log is attached. I don't know where is the error.

Thanks in advance

Either you are out of RAM or you did not properly install your JDBC
driver. If this is the first time you are using Aggregate, it's likely
the latter.

I manage to downgrade my server to Ubuntu 12.04 to see what will happen. Thank you for the tip. Soon as i finish i'll post on the group the results.
