Hi Lars,

I see that only the DHIS 2 WAR-files have the dates printed next to them on the download page.

Please, did the improvements and bugfixes done for the DHIS 2 Live version as well?

Thank you.

I have previously reported this but got no response. I can deploy DHIS2 2.3 downloaded 8/16 but when I try to start it, I get the message, "Sorry, an error has occurred, but don't worry, the information is in the log". The information is out of PermGen space. I am running with 1024m of PermGen space. Logs are attached

localhost.2011-09-08.log (11.6 KB)

stdout_20110908.log (23.3 KB)

catalina.2011-09-08.log (12.3 KB)

10

Roger,

are u sure the -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M is set correctly… even 256M should be fine, if the -Xms1024m and -Xmx2048m or even smaller is set and you are trying to run both OpenMRS and DHIS2 in one tomcat

If you are running through the windows service, you may have to change it through the service window to change JAVA_OPTS.

Are you running on an empty database? I don't really understand why
you should get an permgen error at startup.

I have tested it successfully on windows vista/7, but never on XP, so
there might be some special considerations there?

What does your hibernate file look like? also, have you tested it with
our live distribution?

Is there some chance that there is a machine-specific feature, e.g. something that uses the CPUID or IP address as a seed for encryption, that might make dump and restore not work?

Ok, tomcat seems to think that there should be jars/resource in the
webapps/dhis2 directory, and you seem to be deploying as dhis.war,
correct? and so, you have only a dhis directory.

You should try and find the reference to webapps/dhis2 in your tomcat
directory, since tomcat seems to be confused and is trying to startup
an old deployed version of dhis (probably with the name dhis2.war).
Tomcat usually creates a bunch of temporary files (not just in
webapps), and these should be cleaned.

Also can you confirm Morten's point about having multiple WARs in your
tomcat webapp folder?

Maybe just try renaming both the dhis folder and the war file to dhis2?

Ok, tomcat seems to think that there should be jars/resource in the

webapps/dhis2 directory, and you seem to be deploying as dhis.war,

correct? and so, you have only a dhis directory.

You should try and find the reference to webapps/dhis2 in your tomcat

directory, since tomcat seems to be confused and is trying to startup

an old deployed version of dhis (probably with the name dhis2.war).

Tomcat usually creates a bunch of temporary files (not just in

webapps), and these should be cleaned.

Only one war, only one corresponding directory

Ok, tomcat seems to think that there should be jars/resource in the
webapps/dhis2 directory, and you seem to be deploying as dhis.war,
correct? and so, you have only a dhis directory.

You should try and find the reference to webapps/dhis2 in your tomcat
directory, since tomcat seems to be confused and is trying to startup
an old deployed version of dhis (probably with the name dhis2.war).
Tomcat usually creates a bunch of temporary files (not just in
webapps), and these should be cleaned.

Morten I am sure this is the point - or at least a point - of misconfiguration.

The only other way tomcat should be looking for a dhis2 directory is
if Roger has at some stage been handcrafting a dhis2 context for this
rather than just deploying the war. I suspect this is what the static
context part of the log message is about. Roger did you ever do
something like this?

Mind you if that fails (as it does) I would imagine tomcat would
continue as normal, deploying dynamically the dhis.war. Need to look
further down the log file more closely ...
