[opencms-dev] Setup Freezes on save_properties.jsp

[Roedel, Mark]

I had the same problem on FreeBSD, and found it was due to my
/dev/random having run out of data.  You can either change your Java
config to use /dev/urandom (sorry, you'll have to Google for details),
or give /dev/random more sources of entropy using the 'rndcontrol'
command.  (This is what I did.)  By default, I believe it's set up to
just use the keyboard as a source of randomness, which is fine for a
desktop machine, but not much use for a system sitting unattended in a
server room...

Hello Leon,

Now I met the same problem when I setup 5.0.1 on a FreeBSD.

Have you got any solution?

TIA

Hello

I deployed and tested OpenCMS 5.0.1 on a local server and everything
went according to plan.  I am now trying to deploy OpenCMS on a (very
far remote) production machine but it simply freezes on
save_properties.jsp.

I read the archives and tried different browsers (due to some apparent
problems with Mozilla, which I didn't get on my test machine).  I got no
joy.  The rest of the posts in the archives aren't really helpful.

The Java process does not seem to be doing anything.  There aren't any
processor activity to talk of.  As far as I can tell the aren't any
network/filesystem blocks that holds down the process.  I tried to make
some JDBC connections from other systems and they seem to work
perfectly.

Other than a message that OpenCMS started up correctly there aren't
anything in the log files.  I tried running Tomcat as root to prevent
any file access problems from making me look like an idiot.

The environment is:
OpenCMS 5.0.1
Redhat AS3
Sun JDK 1.4.2_02-b03
Tomcat 4.1.29 (Not the one that comes with Redhat but a clean install)
MySQL 3.23.58

I did notice when I shutdown Tomcat, it does not shutdown cleanly and
that I have to kill the process manually.  Don't know if this is
unrelated.

I am a bit stumpted.  Can anyone help me with a diagnoses short of
running a remote debugger.  Pretty Please ;-)
