Have you installed prerequisite software: Java, Tomcat, MySQL? If so, the rest of installation should be straightforward as described in documentation:
- update config files with your email address
- unpack ZIP files
- start Tomcat

I do not have particular Linux expertise, but would be glad to help you with specific questions.

I install all software requirements like java, tomcat, mysql, my linux server have static local ip (192.168.1.5) and our office have static ip address from ISP as well

So I run tomcat on port 8082 because port 8080 already in use. when I try to access http://192.168.1.5:8082/ it displays Apache Tomcat so it means that my tomcat running

I also try http://192.168.1.5:8082/master/ or http://192.168.1.5:8082/prod1/ but only display

{{{

My question is that How I can config my apache point to tomcat that run rollbase and here is my apache virtual host file

{{{

ServerName rollbase.abc.net
DocumentRoot "/home/rollbase/tomcat6-8082-rollbase/webapps"


Options All

Order allow,deny

Your login page URL should be
http://192.168.1.5:8082/router/login/login.jsp

This URL should be included into "welcome" email sent to your address after the first start of Tomcat (with software unpacked).

It is critical that your server be able to send emails.

As you suggest I try http://192.168.1.5:8082/router/login/login.jsp but I do not have admin password I see the file /rollbase/config/shared.properties

##############################################
# Must be filled before first server start #
##############################################

# Email address of first admin user
AdminEmail=bigmans@abc.net

# Email server - can use gmail by default

#MailHost=smtp.gmail.com
MailHost=localhost

#MailPort=465
MailPort=25

#MailUseSSL=true

# User name and password for emails sender
#MailUser=
#MailPassword=

My linux server install postfix I can send out email by telnet

$ telnet localhost 25
...

Can you please tell me how I can get my admin username and password? thankyou

You should receive email on bigmans@abc.net

If you did not, please try:
- fix email settings
- restart server
- use "Forgot password" link - that should reset your password and send another email

Can you see Tomcat welcome page?

Posted by Admin on 06-Jun-2011 11:28

Documentation clearly explains that you should try Tomcat "Welcome" page before installing our software. Please tell me your URL I will be able to help you further.

http://192.168.1.71:8080/router/login.jsp

I am seeing the welcome page and its working 100%

thats my URL

OK THIS IS MY WELCOME PAGE FOR TOMCAT





It works !

If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!



This is the default Tomcat home page. It can be found on the local filesystem at: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html



Tomcat6 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat6 and CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcat6, following the rules from /usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz.



You might consider installing the following packages, if you haven't already done so:



tomcat6-docs: This package installs a web application that allows to browse the Tomcat 6 documentation locally. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.



tomcat6-examples: This package installs a web application that allows to access the Tomcat 6 Servlet and JSP examples. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.



tomcat6-admin: This package installs two web applications

Sorry, I did not get it. Please provide exact URL you're using to access Tomcat "Welcome" page. Please use "code" section since I cannot see long URLs on this forum.



Please also provide stdout log produced when you start Tomcat. Tip: this log must include this text:



==>> Master Server is starting



If you do not see this text you're looking at wrong log or you did not install Rollbase software properly.



Please follow my instructions, otherwise I cannot help you.

URL is



http://192.168.1.71:8080



that url shows the welcome page with the above details

Posted by Admin on 08-Jun-2011 12:38

Please check

http://192.168.1.71:8080/manager/list



to verify that all Rollbase modules are running. If so please use

http://192.168.1.71:8080/router/login/login.jsp



to access login page.
