Subsonic fails to start

[dozer]

Hi there, I am having problems installing subsonic in my computer.

OS: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
Tomcat: 5.5
Java: java-6-sun-1.6.0

First I had some problems installing tomcat, because the ubuntu repositories were broken, I had to set up the tomcat using these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436295
Well, now everything works except the subsonic. I placed it under the /webapps, but it doesn't even seem to load it if I start the Tomcat. Then I tried to load the .war using tomcat management-application. It fails to start and catalina.out says:

Code: Select all

Jul 29, 2007 3:32:29 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
INFO: Deploying web application archive subsonic.war
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.Digester).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Jul 29, 2007 3:32:35 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Jul 29, 2007 3:32:35 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/subsonic] startup failed due to previous errors

Any ideas?

Hi. To diagnose the problem further, can you please do the following:

1. Stop Tomcat
2. Delete all files in TOMCAT_HOME/logs
3. Create a new file TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/subsonic/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties with the following content:

Code: Select all

log4j.rootLogger=WARN, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=[%-5p] %c %x - %m%n


4. Start Tomcat and access the Subsonic web page.
5. Look for error messages in TOMCAT_HOME/logs

Sindre

OK, I finally got subsonic to start. The logger-thing there didn't help me, because I still got no log entries from subsonic.

But here is what i did:

I created file TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/subsonic.xml
with content:

Code: Select all

<Context path="/subsonic" docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5.5/server/webapps/subsonic"
        debug="0" privileged="true">

</Context>

... and that did it
