Problems with Initial Configuration

[Juan Luis Cardoso]

Hi.
First of all, congratulations for your work.

Regading to the Nature SDI+ project, we are trying to install MDWeb.

Our configuration is:
- Windows XP
- Tomcat 6.0
- Postgres 8.3

Following the steps of QuickStart pdf:

1.1: We have installed JAI 1.1.3, JAI Image-IO 1.1
2.2: We have copy PostgreSQL driver:
Donwload http://www.mdweb-project.org/files/longterm/postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc4.jar 
and copy into: c:/program files/apache-tomcat/tomcat 6.0/lib/

3. Install Postgres 8.3 adn postgis

4. Fist Launch:
• Write the path to that directory on the Directory field.
• Click on Configure the storage directory

The problem is tahat it doesm't creat a "mdweb2" folder, it only creates an empty "default" folder.

Looking into the Tomcat logs, we find:

Thanks in advance.

Dear Juan Luis,

After we realized some test, it seems the bug is due to a problem of read and write permissions between tomcat and windows.

If you start Apache (and tomcat) from the apache monitor (the icon at the right corner) the user starting Tomcat is SYSTEM and SYSTEM doesn't seem to have write and read permissions on the directories.
If you start manually tomcat using the catalina.bat, starting.bat or the tomcat6.exe (depending the Tomcat installation), the user is the local user and he has rights on directories and you should be able to finish the MDwed installlation.

Please, tell me if the problem still occurs

Best Regards,
Dorian

PS : with tomcat the created directory is a directory named "default".

 

[Dorian]

The apache6.exe, catalina.bat, starting.bat are located in the /bin directory of Tomcat.

[Juan Luis Cardoso]

Thanks Dorian

We have to run the file "tomcat6.exe" instead of launching Tomcat as a service, but we can install it.

Thank you
