OK, I believe I have a working installation. Here are some notes for whatever use they may be to others. Environment: Ubuntu 12/Tomcat 6/DHIS 2.12. I took out my previous kernel parameter changes, this has broken Postgres. Since I only have about 1G of free memory, I am using MySQL until I can be sure of the units of the shmxxx kernel parameters. Problems overcome: (1) a permissions problem on /home/dhis and its contents -- it was formerly owner/group dhis/dhis with 750/640 permissions for directories/files. I tried changing it to root/dhis with 770/660, that didn't work. Now have changed it to 777/666. (2) a PermGen space problem -- now am using JAVA_OPTS='-Xmx2048m -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSixe=500m -XX:PermSize=300m' (3) errors in the connection string. Note that 127.0.0.1 will not work as a host unless you have authorIzed non-local access; mysql:mxj does not work. Am now using hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect hibernate.connection.driver_class = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver hibernate.connection.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dhis2

You could try to download and use a binary install of tomcat: http://apache.vianett.no/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.41/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.41.tar.gz Just unzip and try to start it using bin/startup.sh Just make sure no other java process is running already. We don't recommend hot deployment of dhis.war and I am not sure that works. The recommended steps are: 1) Stop tomcat (if running) 2) put dhis.war in webapps/ folder (first remove any old webapps/dhis folder or webapps/dhis.war file) 3) start tomcat (bin/startup.sh) logs/catalina.out should have details on the startup process, including detected and used hibernate.properties files and the the 10 startup rountines. You can follow the log by e.g. issuing the command: $tail -f logs/catalina.out (given that you are already in the tomcat install folder) Ola -------- ---------------------------------- Ola Hodne Titlestad (Mr) HISP Department of Informatics University of Oslo Mobile: +47 48069736 Home address: Eftasåsen 68, 0687 Oslo, Norway.
