OLAT install issue

[Edventure Inc]

Hi all,

I am trying to install OpenOLAT following the https://www.openolat.com/fileadmin/adminwiki/_START_.html with the following particulars.

a) Tomcat 8.5.58 downloaded from the Tomcat and uploaded to openolat/downloads via WinSCP,

b) Java jdk8u265-b01 downloaded from  AdoptOpenJDK (I guess you could add your recommendation to the wiki....and celebrate freedom of opensource) 

c) logged in as root and installed postgresql-12 using standard sudo command.

followed all the instructions to the tee, but i get a long error list. I am not t all familiar with java. .... help please....

Hello,

have you adjusted the paths in the configuration files?

./lib/olat.local.properties

./conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml

./lib/log4j2.xml

If you mean to ask if i created the files in their respective directories....i did

nano ~/lib/olat.local.properties and filled in the details as per the install manual.

I have a question though about the step:

Set up tomcat in home directory

mkdir bin conf lib run logs

Is this to be done in the /home/openolat or in /home/openolat /tomcat directory..?

You always start from your base directory. In your case this would be "/home/openolat"

It should look like this:
