I tried to install opencms19 as ROOT.war

Running on jdk 11 and tomcat 9.0.102

Tried to access the setup on http://<test.mysite.com>:<myport>/setup/<http://%3ctest.mysite.com%3e:%3cmyport%3e/setup/>

Where myport is the port number of my HTTP/1.1 connector in server.xml in my running tomcat instance:

    <Connector port="myport" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" maxParameterCount="1000" />

( and no ssl connector)

I cleared the caches in my browser (To prevent going to https) , but I got no response. So NO setup ☹

What went wrong ?



I tried to install opencms 18 as ROOT.war

On the same tomcat instance and with the same http://<test.mysite.com>:<myport>/setup/<http://%3ctest.mysite.com%3e:%3cmyport%3e/setup/>

It installs via http: as it should. 😊



The site uses apache as front end and connects to tomcat via a

   <Connector port="myport2" protocol="AJP/1.3" address="::1" maxParameterCount="1000" secretRequired="false" />



See also: https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/server-administration/apache-proxy-configuration/index.html



So I will try out opencms18 now instead of opencms19.



Ps : https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/introduction/installation/ states

“Start the setup wizard by pointing your browser to http://localhost:8080/opencms/setup/.”

What in many cases is not right.



Ps2: https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/server-administration/tomcat-configuration/index.html advises

“The connectors that are predefined by default, e.g., the connector for port 8080, should be removed or at least commented out.”

But if you remove the protocol="HTTP/1.1" connector you cannot run an install or update of opencms anymore ( as I did).
