Maybe I am missing it, but there are no guidelines about which versions of Java/Tomcat/MySQL are minimum required by every version of ODK Aggregate. I remember struggling with making Aggregate 1.4.13 work for 3 days with Tomcat6 and then finding a comment somewhere that it requires minimum Tomcat7 and Java8.
Is there a list which describes these things? If yes, then please point me to it. If no, then please do put this in release notes perhaps.
This page has a lot of the information you'd need. It's for people wanting to work on Aggregate code, but it has all the version information you're looking for.
I agree (in advance) that it's probably not in the easiest-to-find spot; we're still spooling up a major documentation improvement effort.
Sorry to bring it up again, but I am still unable to reach to my required info, related to the minimum version pre-requesites of Java/Tomcat/MySQL for ODK Aggregate installation and working (this time for version 1.6.0). Both the links mentioned by @yanokwa and @issa above are either not working or not updated now. Can anyone help on this? @LN
For everyone's benefit, I got following info after a long time of hit-and-trial.
ODK Aggregate 1.4.15 works on following versions of supporting packages:
Java 1.7.0_181
Tomcat 8
MySQL 5.7.22
However, Aggregate 1.6.0 does not work on the above environment (not sure why, even through these are fairly new versions of all). I just spent 3 hours in troubleshooting, but finally reverted back to installing the working 1.4.15 aggregate.
