[opencms-dev] Defining OpenCmsHome in web.xml

[Robert Read]

Hi All,

 

I am deploying OpenCms 6.2.2 to Weblogic 9.2

 

When I started-up the first time I got the following error in the
weblogic log:

 

org.opencms.main.CmsInitException: Critical error during OpenCms
initialization: The OpenCms WEB-INF folder can not be determined, please
set the parameter "OpenCmsHome" in "web.xml".

 

I found this fix on NABBLE for Weblogic8.1-sp2 which seems good so I
tried it:

l

 

 

I now get the following error when I browse to 
http://localhost:7001/opencms/setup/

 

----------------------------start of error
msg-------------------------------------------------------------------

Error starting Alkacon OpenCms setup wizard.

It appears that your servlet container did not unpack the Alkacon
OpenCms WAR file. Alkacon OpenCms requires that it's WAR file is
unpacked.

 

Please unpack the Alkacon OpenCms WAR file and try again.

 

Check out the documentation of your Servlet container to learn how to
unpack the WAR file, or do it manually with some kind of unzip - tool.

 

Tip for Tomcat users:

Open the file {tomcat-home}/conf/server.xml and search for
unpackWARs="false". Replace this with unpackWARs="true". Then restart
Tomcat.

----------------------------end of error
msg-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I am running Weblogic here:

/home/ubuntu/bea

 

and only have the exampleServer running.

 

I have unpacked the OpenCms WAR here:

/home/ubuntu/bea/weblogic92/samples/domains/wl_server/servers/examplesSe
rver/opencms

 

I have tried editing
/home/ubuntu/bea/weblogic92/samples/domains/wl_server/servers/examplesSe
rver/opencms/WEB-INF/web.xml to point OpenCmsHome at:

a)
/bea/weblogic92/samples/domains/wl_server/servers/examplesServer/opencms
/WEB-INF

b)
/home/ubuntu/bea/weblogic92/samples/domains/wl_server/servers/examplesSe
rver/opencms/WEB-INF

 

with no change to the message given from the OpenCms setup wizard.

 

I attach my web.xml for reference in case there is a mistake in the
definition of the OpenCmsHome context-parameter.  

 

Does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

 

 

Cheers,

Robert
