Finding Aid FOP Java Runtime Error

FOP / Java Runtime Errors

Hi, I was recently asked to install AtoM for a customer

It's on a Ubuntu VM in azure, the install all went well except:

The system will not generate Finding Aids, it's failing with a java runtime not found error

Can you help resolve this please, java seems to be installed, have read all sorts but haven't really got any where.

Thanks In advance

Dan

Hi Dan, 

When we install AtoM, we install Java openjdk-8-jre-headless for use with Elasticsearch. Apache FOP also requires Java, but there can be conflicts if you try to use openjdk there as well, so instead we explicitly recommend the following installation command: 

• sudo apt install --no-install-recommends fop libsaxon-java
  

See: https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/installation/linux/ubuntu-xenial/#other-packages

Did you use that command at installation time?

I also noticed that in the job log, there's a permission denied message. I'm wondering if there might be a filesystem permissions issue? You could try resetting the permissions by running the following command from the root AtoM installation directory: 

• sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/share/nginx/atom
  

I would restart services after and clear the application cache, to see if this helps. 

• sudo systemctl resrtart php7.0-fpm
• sudo systemctl restart memcached
• sudo systemctl restart atom-worker
• php symfony cc

Let us know if that helps. Otherwise, I will see if our developers might have further suggestions. 

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

 

thanks for your reply, i have only just got a chance to have another look at this.

 I would have followed the instructions on the initial install so should have run that command.

But i just ran it again (sudo apt install --no-install-recommends fop libsaxon-java)  and got the following:

fop is already the newest version 1:2.1-2

libsaxon-java is already the newest version 1:6.5.5-10

it then says a bunch of packages were automatically installed and are no longer required

i also ran the rest of the commands you posted, they all worked except the last one (could not open input file: symfony)

But the important thing is the reports are now generating and downloading correctly

thanks for your help.

Hi Dan, 

Glad to hear it's working!

Generally, when I see messages like "could not open input file: symfony," it's because the command was run in the wrong location. All AtoM command-line tasks (i.e. all of those that start with "php symfony") need to be run from AtoM's root installation directory, which is /usr/share/nginx/atom if you have followed our recommended installation instructions. 

The following slide deck might be useful as a reference if you run into any future issues - it outlines AtoM's most common command-line tasks for maintenance and troubleshooting: 

• https://www.slideshare.net/accesstomemory/atoms-command-line-tasks-an-introduction
  

Additionally, see the new Troubleshooting page we've added to the 2.5 documentation - pretty much everything in there will apply to 2.4 as well: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.5/admin-manual/maintenance/troubleshooting/
