You can do that way, you need first to backup and restore your database on the new database server if needed, change the settings in the war file in /WEB-INF/lib/ODKAggregate-settings.jar :

  • jdbc properties for database connection the tomcat server in pg_hba.conf
  • security.properties (for serve hostname and port)

Hi,

Here's what I did:

  • The ODK Aggregate is installed and running on the new server;
  • copied another .war file 'newsite.war' from the old to the new server;
  • restored the newsite DB (postgres) in the new server;
  • changed the following files in /WEB-INF/lib/ODKAggregate-settings.jar
    jdbc.properties and security.properties with the accesses
  • deploy, copying, the .war file to tomcat
  • the app is listed in tomcat web admin
    but when I try to access returns 404 – Not Found

in catalina.log there is this entry:
" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from class path resource [odk-settings.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [odk-settings.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
"

what am I missing ?

thanks,
