Re: [OpenOLAT] OpenOlat Installation in windows

[Florian Gnägi]

Hi Jai

Note that we do not support Windows. This means we do not develop, test or deploy OpenOLAT on windows at all. It might make it run on windows but it is not recommend for production and you will certainly run into issues because we do not test it at all under windows. 

The most simple setup is to install Ubuntu and follow the install guide available here: http://www.openolat.org/fileadmin/adminwiki/QW5vdGhlcl9JbnN0YWxsYXRpb25fR3VpZGU=.html

For being able to help you, please always attach the output from the olat.log and catalina.out logfiles. 

Cheers

Florian

PS: Please do not post the same question multiple times. It is enough to post it once.

Hi Florian,

  Thanks for quick response.

I am working in windows OS. 

I am trying to explore different LMS systems for our internal training system for our organization.

I have already explored Sakai, a-LMS.i want to explore OpenOlat also to compare the features.

This is only for testing purpose.if it works in windows i can compare the LMS systems and prepare the comparison report to my management.

i understand that it is not supported in windows for production but for testing i can try in windows.

herewith i am attaching the log files.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Jai.

Hi Jay

If you have a look at the log-file yourself it is very clearly written, what the current problem is :

....

SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 145 column 166: The reference to entity "autoReconnectForPools" must end with the ';' delimiter.

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:/C:/home/apache-tomcat-7.0.42/conf/server.xml; lineNumber: 145; columnNumber: 166; The reference to entity "autoReconnectForPools" must end with the ';' delimiter.

....

Just look vor for lines starting with ERROR or SEVERE in the logfile to find these messages, fix the problem one by one and try again.

(Be aware, that one error can cause several followup errors in the logfile.

Cheers,

– Christof

Hi Jai

The error is somewhere before those lines. Please attach the full catalina.out and olat.log files. Most likely the problem is caused by windows path problems. In windows, all path information in the olat.properties / olat.local.properties must be written using "\" while for Linux/OSX you use "/". Check your properties files and replace all the slashes. 

Cheers

Florian

Hi,

  Please find the complete log files attached.

followed this document for configuration.

http://www.openolat.org/fileadmin/adminwiki/QW5vdGhlcl9JbnN0YWxsYXRpb25fR3VpZGU=.html

Now the tomcat server itself is not coming up. OpenOlat.war is not deploying properly if we have openolat.xml in the catalina/localhost folder

Thanks and Regards,

Jai.

[Florian Gnägi]

Please also add the olat.log. Normally this is found in your configured olatdata directory at olatdata/logs/olat.log.

Did you override all path information from the olat.properties in your olat.local.properties (replacing all / with \)? 

Cheers

Florian

Hi Jai, did you get this resolved?. from your log files, your db is not up and running or not initialized properly. Please follow the instructions in the distribution to setup the database using setupDatabase.sql.

thanks

Florian
