Downloaded, unpacked, deployed, and started dotcms 3.0.1 - won't lunch on browser

[George Taku]

I deployed and started dotcms 3.0.1. The deploy returned successful, but the start process was a blink with a quick flash of a new command line window that quickly disappears to return to the original command line. I then tried lunching a browser (http:localhost:8080) but won't lunch. I have experience this on many different tries and configurations.
I'll greatly appreciate contributions to resolve this issue. See attached screenshots. No log files were produced either.

[Jason Tesser]

sounds like your java is not configured properly or maybe you need to run ad administrator. 

I think you can add a run after the command to make the console window stay open

Instead of starting the startup.bat file from the explorer window, open up a command line prompt in administrator mode.  Then browse to where you have dotcms installed and call the startup.bat file that way.  This will prevent the window from disappearing before you can see the error message.  

Though I assume that you are not even getting as far as writing to the log file, another thing that can help is a tail program.  Instead of viewing the console output you can tail the log file.  In windows I have used baretail and that is my favorite:  https://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/

Chris Falzone - As seen in the screenshots that I posted with this issue, I used windows command line to execute the deploy and start, on the dotcms path. I indeed opened command line as administrator to execute the deploy and start.
How can I tail the log file when it does not exist?
Thanks for your suggestion, Jason and Chris.

Obviously there is something wrong. I am now verifying my jre_home as suggested by Jason Tesser, changing it from ..\jdk1.7.0_72\jre7 to ..\jdk1.7.0_72\jre. I'll now reboot and give this another shot.
Please more ideas from anyone, especially anyone that might have experienced similar issues is greatly appreciated.

[George Taku]

After changing my jre_home from   , I could get dotcms 3.0 to start to at least the point where log files are created. I am however yet to there as far as getting to http://localhost:8080 and seeing results. Here are the first errors in the dotcms.log file (other errors followed after a bunch of info):

Is this an upgrade?  If so you should get this once on first time start of upgrade and it should move forward. 

if this is a new install then you must be pointed at a DB that has stuff in it by accident 

[George Taku]

Yes, it is an upgrade, 2.2 t0 3.0.1.
I have passed the other errors. Here is where I am now as far as errors:

More details on the errors returned upon start (I am current locating the objects that are throwing these errors). I am aware that there's been some changes in third party plugin references, but I do not yet see that to be where the errors are stemming from.

Thanks.

Thanks for your input.

[Jason Tesser]

This looks like a DB config out something.  Something wrong with your DB connection. 

[Jason Tesser]

Yes actually looks like your DB is not setup. In 3.0 it is in the
context.xml. It is in the install doc and upgrade doc

--

[George Taku]

I configured my db connections settings in the context.xml config file through the plugins path as directed in the instructions. The context.xml was exported to it's expect locations in the dotserver path after .\bin\deploy_plugins.bat successful execution as described in the instructions. DB connection is refused for some reason. I have checked a verified that the db user is configured correctly, the ownere of the dotcms db, with obviously all necessary permissions.
I am suspecting the third party plugins references that is said to have changed with dotcms 3.0. My search so far shows 94 jsp and java code files that has third party plugins references that are in the old format. I will post solutions here when I solve this issue. For the meanwhile, I'll continue to appreciate every input.
Thank you.

[Jason Tesser]

ok I understand but that error is an I cannot connect to the DB.  Maybe check DB logs, permissions etc,, 

[George Taku]

I am not sure if it's the DB connection settings per say. I did configure the db settings in the context.xml config. The connection get closed for some reason.
Here are some of the errors returned:

Thanks again.

From the errors I posted, see this part that is the first of all the errors that is returned, that causes me to suspect that the issue has to do with the change in the plugins references with dotcms 3.0 (not finding an expected property in the plugin):

SEVERE: Servlet  threw load() exception
com.dotcms.repackage.net.sf.

hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: Could not find a setter for property modDate in class com.dotmarketing.portlets.folders.model.Folder

So, I'd think that if it's missing hibernate properties in the plugins, then it may contribute to the db connection having to close. I don't see any issues with the connection configuration itself. Any ideas?

Thanks again.
