Unable to install a local instance

Ellie_Chowns · June 9, 2011, 11:34am

Hello - I hope this isn't a stupid question but I couldn't find an
answer by searching the community discussion so far ...
I am having problems installing a Local Instance of Aggregate. I have
followed all the instructions, using v0.9.6. First I tried in
Firefox, but when I tried to run “launchAggregateTestServer.cmd” I
just got a very quick flash of a small blank black screen which then
disappeared, and when I went to localhost:8080 my browser was unable
to connect. So then I tried using Chrome, downloaded v0.9.6 again,
and tried to run “launchAggregateTestServer.cmd”. I got a security
warning that the app publisher is not verified, but I clicked Run
anyway, and the same thing happens - brief flash of a blank black
screen then nothing. Again, Chrome can't connect to localhost:8080.
So I am stuck - please help! Thankyou!

Here are some things to do to help figure out the problem.

Please confirm that after downloading the zip file, you right-clicked
'ODK_AggregateDeploy_v0.9.6.zip' and chose 'Extract All...',
extracted the contents to a folder, then browsed to that folder and
double-clicked the 'uploadAggregateToAppEngine' script from that
folder.

If you just browse into the zip file (by double-clicking into it), and
try to run the script from within the zip, the script will flash and
fail as you describe.

If that doesn't work probably the easiest thing to do is open a cmd
window and run 'java -version' as this will tell us a lot about your
paths and version. To do this simply go to the start menu and select
run. In the Run popup type "cmd". When the command prompt window comes
up simply time "java -version". Paste the response into this email
thread and it should help us to determine what is wrong.

Cheers,
Waylon

Hi Yaw, thanks! Yes I checked and installed Java 6 this morning just
prior to trying to install Aggregate. Ellie

Hi Waylon, many thanks for your help.
I have a problem with the extraction from the zip file. When I try to
Extract All from the zip file, I get an error message "There is already
a file with the same name as the folder name you specified. Specify a
different name." I get this same message no matter what name or
location I give the extraction folder, and I have checked and deleted
any folders from all previous abortive attempts to extract. If I click
Try Again in the error message I get nowhere. If I click Skip, I just
get two items in my new folder: _MACOSX (File, 0 bytes) and
ODKAggregateDeploy0.9.6 (6 File, 0 bytes). If I click Cancel, I just
get the second of these two non-files. Somehow my unzipping is not
working. Do I need some particular unzipping program?

So yes, as you guessed, what I was doing before was browsing straight
into the zip file, leading to the script flashing and failing.

Thanks for the instructions on opening a cmd window. Here is the text:

C:\Users\Eleanor>java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Does that shed any light on the problem?
Hoping for more guidance... with many thanks! Best wishes, Ellie

Any unzipping program should work. I do not have any suggestions on
solving that problem. I would create a fresh directory and try
unzipping in that. You will need about 100MB free on your harddrive.
Maybe you are low on disk space. Unfortunately we are not in a
position to help debug why the file will not unzip properly for you.

Your java looks correct.

Many thanks again Waylon.ï¿½ (I have over 13GB free disk space.ï¿½ I tried
unzipping in a new directory (again) but had the same problem.)

However - I've now downloaded 7-zip, managed to unzip the folder and
successfully installed the local instance - fantastic!

Unfortunately I now have a new problem - I can't seem to load my form
into Aggregate.ï¿½ I get this error message: HTTP ERROR 400:Problem
accessing /upload. Reason: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form:null.ï¿½
I've tried re-exporting my test form, and have also installed an App
Engine instance, but I still have the same problem: "Error: Problem
with JavaRosa Parsing Form:null".ï¿½ When I try to Export to Aggregate
(to my App Engine Instance) direct from Build, I get this error
message: "File not found: Firefox can't find the file at
http://build.opendatakit.org/aggregate/return/1307704881_ellie.chowns@gmail.com?oauth_verifier=SkhTtEFfeTkogXK3PoPDELh7&oauth_token=4/jZI0RHJyQ2lyeP-IKP67qabwx4V3."

I've searched the Community and it looks like a few people have had a
similar problems in recent months.ï¿½ Following those threads, I've now
managed to make it work (through XML and direct export, to local host
and to AppEngine) for a very simple single-question test form - but not
for an 11-question test form (no groups or branching).ï¿½ I've also
downloaded ODK Validate and tested my 11-question form but I'm afraid I
have no idea what the result means!ï¿½ I have pasted the script below.ï¿½
Please could someone help me interpret it?

Thanks again for all your support!

Best wishes, Ellie

Hi Yaw - I've revisited my form and changed a couple of things - I had
left the field Data Names untitled before and missed setting a couple of
Underlying Values for Options... maybe that was the problem? It now
seems to be fixed and I have exported fine. Thanks very much for the
support and sorry to have troubled you all! Thanks for all your work on
this software; I think it'll be so helpful for my research. Best
wishes, Ellie

Maybe you are low on disk space. Unfortunately we are not in a
position to help debug why the file will not unzip properly for you.

Your java looks correct.

Hi Waylon, many thanks for your help.
I have a problem with the extraction from the zip file. When I try to
Extract All from the zip file, I get an error message "There is already a
file with the same name as the folder name you specified. Specify a
different name." I get this same message no matter what name or location I
give the extraction folder, and I have checked and deleted any folders from
all previous abortive attempts to extract. If I click Try Again in the
error message I get nowhere. If I click Skip, I just get two items in my
new folder: _MACOSX (File, 0 bytes) and ODKAggregateDeploy0.9.6 (6 File, 0
bytes). If I click Cancel, I just get the second of these two non-files.
Somehow my unzipping is not working. Do I need some particular unzipping
program?

So yes, as you guessed, what I was doing before was browsing straight into
the zip file, leading to the script flashing and failing.

Thanks for the instructions on opening a cmd window. Here is the text:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Eleanor>java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Does that shed any light on the problem?
Hoping for more guidance... with many thanks! Best wishes, Ellie

Here are some things to do to help figure out the problem.

Please confirm that after downloading the zip file, you right-clicked
'ODK_AggregateDeploy_v0.9.6.zip' and chose 'Extract All...',
extracted the contents to a folder, then browsed to that folder and
double-clicked the 'uploadAggregateToAppEngine' script from that
folder.

If you just browse into the zip file (by double-clicking into it), and
try to run the script from within the zip, the script will flash and
fail as you describe.

If that doesn't work probably the easiest thing to do is open a cmd
window and run 'java -version' as this will tell us a lot about your
paths and version. To do this simply go to the start menu and select
run. In the Run popup type "cmd". When the command prompt window comes
up simply time "java -version". Paste the response into this email
thread and it should help us to determine what is wrong.

Cheers,
Waylon

Hello - I hope this isn't a stupid question but I couldn't find an

I am having problems installing a Local Instance of Aggregate. I have
followed all the instructions, using v0.9.6. First I tried in
Firefox, but when I tried to run “launchAggregateTestServer.cmd” I
just got a very quick flash of a small blank black screen which then
disappeared, and when I went to localhost:8080 my browser was unable
to connect. So then I tried using Chrome, downloaded v0.9.6 again,
and tried to run “launchAggregateTestServer.cmd”. I got a security
warning that the app publisher is not verified, but I clicked Run
anyway, and the same thing happens - brief flash of a blank black
screen then nothing. Again, Chrome can't connect to localhost:8080.
So I am stuck - please help! Thankyou!

Helllo Ellie and Yaw,
I had the same problems as Ellie. I made a simple form, and was able
to "export to aggregate..." without problem. The longer one I made
just does not want to be accepted. It gives that "Firefox can't find
the file at
http://build.opendatakit.org/aggregate/return/1308433521_curtisbr?oauth_verifier=-V72XYtyVm7QDQG_0bXgMrv_&oauth_token=4/cb4PrRU01YeL4ATo5iYny5lulU9f."
message. I did recheck my questionnaire in "Build" and fixed some
minor things, but still no luck. I will download the validator that
Ellie spoke about, but from a view of that output, I don't think I'll
be able to figure out much.

Hi Curtis,

I don't know how relevant this is but recently I had a problem with
sending my form to aggregate too. Then I found out that I shouldn't
have Data Name started with a number. For example, Data Name like
"1_apple" is bad but Data Name like "apple_1" is good. That fixed my
problem. Hope you got yours to work.

Hi Du:

Thanks for the information; I'll add a validation check to Build for that case.

Many thanks again Waylon. (I have over 13GB free disk space. I tried
unzipping in a new directory (again) but had the same problem.)
However - I've now downloaded 7-zip, managed to unzip the folder and
successfully installed the local instance - fantastic!

Unfortunately I now have a new problem - I can't seem to load my form into
Aggregate. I get thiserrormessage: HTTPERROR400:Problem accessing
/upload. Reason: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form:null. I've tried
re-exporting my test form, and have also installed an App Engine instance,
but I still have the same problem: "Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing
Form:null". When I try toExporttoAggregate(to my App Engine Instance)
direct fromBuild, I get thiserrormessage: "File not found: Firefox can't
find the file at

I've searched the Community and it looks like a few people have had a
similar problems in recent months. Following those threads, I've now
managed to make it work (through XML and directexport, to local host and to
AppEngine) for a very simple single-question test form - but not for an
11-question test form (no groups or branching). I've also downloaded ODK
Validate and tested my 11-question form but I'm afraid I have no idea what
the result means! I have pasted the script below. Please could someone
help me interpret it?

Thanks again for all your support!
Best wishes, Ellie

Something broke the parser. See above for a hint.

Any unzipping program should work. I do not have any suggestions on
solving that problem. I would create a fresh directory and try
unzipping in that. You will need about 100MB free on your harddrive.
Maybe you are low on disk space. Unfortunately we are not in a
position to help debug why the file will not unzip properly for you.

Your java looks correct.

Hi Waylon, many thanks for your help.
I have a problem with the extraction from the zip file. When I try to
Extract All from the zip file, I get anerrormessage "There is already a
file with the same name as the folder name you specified. Specify a
different name." I get this same message no matter what name or location I
give the extraction folder, and I have checked and deleted any folders from
all previous abortive attempts to extract. If I click Try Again in the
errormessage I get nowhere. If I click Skip, I just get two items in my
new folder: _MACOSX (File, 0 bytes) and ODKAggregateDeploy0.9.6 (6 File, 0
bytes). If I click Cancel, I just get the second of these two non-files.
Somehow my unzipping is not working. Do I need some particular unzipping
program?

So yes, as you guessed, what I was doing before was browsing straight into
the zip file, leading to the script flashing and failing.

Thanks for the instructions on opening a cmd window. Here is the text:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

C:\Users\Eleanor>java -version
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build20.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Does that shed any light on the problem?
Hoping for more guidance... with many thanks! Best wishes, Ellie

Here are some things to do to help figure out the problem.

Please confirm that after downloading the zip file, you right-clicked
'ODK_AggregateDeploy_v0.9.6.zip' and chose 'Extract All...',
extracted the contents to a folder, then browsed to that folder and
double-clicked the 'uploadAggregateToAppEngine' script from that
folder.

If you just browse into the zip file (by double-clicking into it), and
try to run the script from within the zip, the script will flash and
fail as you describe.

If that doesn't work probably the easiest thing to do is open a cmd
window and run 'java -version' as this will tell us a lot about your
paths and version. To do this simply go to the start menu and select
run. In the Run popup type "cmd". When the command prompt window comes
