I know exactly what you are going through. I spent a good part of a week
trying to get a clean install of Apache, Tomcat, MySql, Java and OpenBD to
work nicely. And I did it.
The information I used was scatter over several websites that I had to piece
together, but it sounds like you have gotten through mist of the troubles.
So I will tell you that this link:
http://wiki.openbluedragon.org/wiki/index.php/Single_Instance_Install
will give you all the basic instructions you need, except for one or two
things.
1st thing to note on that page is DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLE WEB.XML copy the
contents of the one that came within the Jar file.
Second thing to note is there is a line in that web.xml that does not work,
so <!-- --> out this line:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>
I have found that it prevents openbd from starting.
Beyond that the only thing I didn't follow was the java install at the top
as I found this page after I got java installed.

Subject: [OpenBD] Migrating from CF to OpenBD and would like to keep Apache
virtual hosts
Hi All,
I am a long time (since Allaire) CF user. We have decided to begin to
migrate to the OpenBD server and I'm trying to set up my first server.
We currently use linux/Apache 2 (with VirtualHost)/CF ... would like
to use linux/Apache 2 (with VirtualHost) and OpenDB. I have started a
new server setup and have tomcat installed and working. I downloaded
the openBD.war file and deployed it.
Now I'm beginning to think I need to back up a bit. I have seen some
info on how to configure the tomcat so that it uses the OpenBD as
common files. I followed those and got a context-less blue dragon
admin page. But when I try to do somethings it has a major error with
"failed to write configuration file". I already don't like the default
paths that tomcat seems to use (/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/) and would
like to have the server installed into the /opt/ base directory (just
for ease of remembrance / what I'm used to)... so I may have to back
just for that.
I have also seen that there is a ready-to-run jetty version on the
downloads page.
So I guess my questions would be:
1. will the read-to-run version work for apache / virtual hosts or
should I stick with tomcat/apache and retry setting up the openbd app
as common libraries?
2. is there a different way to accomplish my goal?
Thanks for any and all comments!
