DHIS2 not restarting with Server after Bootup [SOLVED]

Hello Community,

I have DHIS2 2.22 running on ubuntu server 14.04. I have:

  • setup a the tomcat file with the contents:

#!/bin/sh

tomcat init script

HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat/bin

case $1 in

start)

sh ${HOME}/startup.sh

;;

stop)

sh ${HOME}/shutdown.sh

;;

restart)

sh ${HOME}/shutdown.sh

sleep 5

sh ${HOME}/startup.sh

;;

esac

exit 0

  • executed the commands

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/tomcat

sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f tomcat defaults 81

update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/tomcat missing LSB information

update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>

Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/tomcat …

/etc/rc0.d/K81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc1.d/K81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc6.d/K81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc2.d/S81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc3.d/S81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc4.d/S81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

/etc/rc5.d/S81tomcat → …/init.d/tomcat

*I wonder if there’s a problem on the warnings.

On Server REBOOT. Tomcat starts but I get a 404 error until I shutdown and restart Tomcat. I noticed that the **HOME **variable in the /etc/init.d/tomcat file was not pointing to my tomcat- instance.

So I changed the line **HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat/bin **to **HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat-/bin. **In my case HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat-dhis/bin.

At this point I still got the 404.

Checking the /etc/init.d/ directory showed two tomcat files, another called tomcat7. Assuming this file could be starting at startup without reference to my tomcat-dhis, i renamed it to tomcat7_bu. Run > sudo reboot and it worked.

Please recommend if there’s a better solution. Also, is there a better way of presenting solutions to problems like on stackexchange.com?

I hope this helps someone else in my situation.

Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam

It sounds like you have a system tomcat (/etc/init.d/tomcat7)
competing with your custom dhis tomcats. Probably you can uninstall
this first to remove any ambiguities (apt-get remove tomcat7). It was
probably competing for the default port 8080.

*I wonder if there's a problem on the warnings.

On Server REBOOT. Tomcat starts but I get a 404 error until I shutdown and

So I changed the line HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat/bin to

HOME=/home/dhis/tomcat-dhis/bin.

At this point I still got the 404.
