RE: Fop 1.0 new install, get "Can't find configuration file, aborting"

[stan69]

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.  You are correct in saying that the
error does not come from fop.

It turns out that my host server does not allow java, which is why fop won't
work.

Ho hum, time to find a new host!

RE: Fop 1.0 new install, get "Can't find configuration file, aborting"

[Robert Meyer]

Hi,

Not sure if this is any help, but that message might not come from FOP. Do you 
get the same message when trying to run anything else? Whether you do or not, 
it looks like the same issue as found at the following link which hints at a 
setup issue:

By the sounds of it you have copied or uploaded a copy of FOP onto the host 
machine. The first thing I would try would be to get FOP on there via a 
traditional method e.g. "sudo apt-get install fop" instead of running it from a 
copied directory. Alternatively, get a copy via SVN, build and try running 
that. If that doesn't work, then it may be worth asking on a forum more 
familiar with host servers running Linux to see if anyone else has come across 
this message and have any ideas.

Unfortunately the message is not that descriptive, otherwise it would explain 
exactly what configuration file it's expecting and to what it relates. 

Regards,

Robert Meyer

Re: Fop 1.0 new install, get "Can't find configuration file, aborting"

[Luis Bernardo]

I assume you are running from the command line...

Is that really the error message you get? I tried passing a non existing 
file to the -c switch and I don't get that (also used 1.0). I also do 
not find the message in the current source.


FOP can use a config file but does not need one. So if you get the error 
when you don't use -c then I think the problem is somewhere else.

Hi, I'm stuck!

I have fop working wonderfully on my PC but I've just uploaded it to my host
(Linux x64) and now when I run fop I get the message:
Can't find configuration file, aborting

I have tried fop -c config/fop.xconf but that made no difference.

I have tried java -jar build/fop.jar and I get
(.:25545): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I am running the latest JRE (7.0_09)

Any ideas?
