Deleted Catalina.out in ControlTier server by mistake

[Lochan]

Hi,

I deleted the Catalina.out file in Tomcat of my ControlTier Standalone
server by mistake.
When I shutdown and startup Apache Tomcat again, After succesful log
in in the workbench I see the following error on workbench screen:

Sorry, but the action could not be performed. Show Details...
An error has occurred. Time: Wed Jan 09 02:49:49 PST 2008

When I see the logs, I get the following error:

ERROR : Premature end of file.
ERROR : Handle uncaught exception. exception config path: /pages/
exception/View.jsp
ERROR : Uncaught exception message: rethrew:

Hi Lochan,

it sounds like somehow your tomcat sessions have been removed/modified.  Is it possible you accidentally deleted more than just the catalina.out file?

You can try shutting down tomcat, and removing any sessions in $CATALINA_HOME/work/Standalone/yourserver/itnav then restart the server.

Hi Lochan,

If you mean you deleted "$CATALINA_BASE/logs/catalina.out" there should have been no adverse consequence to your ControlTier configuration. Deleting anything in $CATALINA_BASE/conf will cause problems, of course!

Since you're seeing an "EOFException" on what appears to be a persistent session file associated with WebDAV, you'd have to imagine that you've deleted more than a log file!

Consider the following:

• Are you certain that the old ControlTier processes have been properly cleaned out? We've seen this cause problems in the past.
• Have you tried re-running the ControlTier installer? Doing so may "fill in" the lost files.
• Is Workbench running well enough that you can create project archive files from the administration page? If this is the case, you could save these "par" files along with the application specific packages from your WebDAV ($CATALINA_BASE/webapps/webdav/pkgs), and do a fresh ControlTier installation to get around the problem.

By the way, we've recently released ControlTier 3.1rc1 to Sourceforge, and updated our installation instructions. You may want to take this as an opportunity to upgrade.

Anthony.

Hi Anthony,

I am able to successfully log into Workbench.
I am able to create a new project also using the admin tab in
workbench. When I try accessing my old project emans, it gives the
error.
When I try Importing the Par file from DAV using admin tab it again
gives:

ERROR: com.hp.hpl.jena.shared.JenaException: rethrew:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file. DETAILS:

rethrew: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.

How can I reInstall ControlTier without disturbing the existing
project in it?

Thanks,
Lochan

There may not be a project to preserve ... Jena appears to be indicating that the RDF repository files may be damaged ... take a look in $CATALINA_BASE/rdfdata for truncated or missing files.

If you have accidently trashed the Workbench database, then it will still be possible to recreate the project from source (assuming you've been using ProjectBuilder) and (at least partially) from cached or deployed modules if you haven't.

We can go off-list if you like and work on this together: email me directly.

Anthony.
