Problem With BI Server Installation

[roco]

I have started both the biserver 2.0RC1 and the administration-console, but I get this SEVERE error when I log into the admin console. I have tried with MYSQL DB and HSQLDB and neither are working. I have also shut down my global tomcat service. Here is the terminal error:

robc@creative:~/pentaho4$ cd administration-console
robc@creative:~/pentaho4/administration-console$ ./start.sh
2008-12-02 18:33:19.545::INFO: Logging to STDERR via org.mortbay.log.StdErrLog

Any help would be appreaciated. - roco

I would expect Tomcat not to be running, the Admin Console runs on jetty which is completely different. Check catalina.out for errors etc

[roco]

I think you are right. here is what I get when I try to start tomcat:

robc@creative:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin$ ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat6/temp
Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
touch: cannot touch `/usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out': No such file or directory
./catalina.sh: 357: cannot create /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out: Directory nonexistent
robc@creative:/usr/share/tomcat6/bin$

Strangely, when I run http://localhost:8080/ in a browser I get the congratulations you have Tomcat successfully configured page.

Sorry for being such a rookie with all this configuration. I have successfully got 2.0 running on a xp machine with hypersonic, but my goal is a linux machine with mysql. (seemingly much more challenging)

[bugg_tb]

its trying to fireup your ubuntu tomcat or its already running, either way I'd completely uninstall ubuntu's tomcat as its not needed

[roco]

That was it. You can uninstall tomcat in Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get remove tomcat6


Now the server works on linux with Hypersonic...... now to get MYSQL to work!
