Subsonic Forum

Hi all,

I tried upgrading to the 3.7 beta today and can't get tomcat to start it. Went back to 3.6 to ensure my tomcat instance isn't the culprit...3.6 works fine. Here is my config:

Ubuntu 9.04 - amd64
Tomcat 6.0.18
Java 1.6.0_13-b03
Subsonic 3.7 beta (war file deployment)

Subsonic doesn't start after starting tomcat via command line.

Trying to start subsonic via the tomcat manager GUI I receive: "FAIL - Application at context path /subsonic could not be started"

/var/subsonic/subsonic.log indicates:

[2009-05-09 08:50:15,403] ERROR DaoHelper - Failed to initialize database.

at org.hsqldb.jdbc.Util.sqlException(Unknown Source)

Not sure if this error is related to the root cause. I should also mention that I tried rebooting the server (a feeble attempt to free up any strange locking behavior). I'm happy to post my full tomcat log if anyone thinks that may help. Any assistance would be appreciated!

More info regarding my post above. I cleaned out all logs and started tomcat with the 3.7 beta .war in the webapps directory. Here is my tomcat log:

Will be fixed in 3.7.beta2. Thanks for reporting!

Sindre, I get the same error message

(FAIL - Application at context path /subsonic could not be started

You had a hotfix for another problem with Tomcat and the latest beta, is there a hotfix for this too, by any chance?

The jukebox feature as well as the fix for streaming transcodes would be soooo good to have!

Thank you,
flacflac

Oh yeah, problem solved, man!

1. Removed all folders following you installation instructions for .WAR releases.

2. Copied .WAR into Tomcat's webapps

3. Started Tomcat

4. Stopped Tomcat

5. Deleted subsonic\db folder

6. Restarted Tomcat

7. In Tomcat's manager hit "start" for subsonic

8. localhost/subsonic works!

Sweeet!
