How to deploy gerrit.war to Tomcat server?

[samu...@gmail.com]

How to deploy gerrit.war to Tomcat server?  I am not able to deploy it from the web application manager page of Tomcat.

what does it do to run the batch command: "gerrit.sh start"?

when I run "gerrit.sh start", I got error: "Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED"

C:\Gerrit\bin>gerrit.sh start
Welcome to Git (version 1.9.0-preview20140217)


Run 'git help git' to display the help index.
Run 'git help <command>' to display help for specific commands.

Are you trying to deploy it on tomcat OR to start it using the wrapper?

As far as I know, the wrapper is not meant to be used on Windows. You best option is to deploy it in Tomcat. When you say you are not able to deploy it using the application manager, can you give more details... I guess that the application manage says that it failed to deploy the application and if it's the case, did you look at the error messages in the Tomcat logs/localhost.<date>.log?

thanks a lot for quick response.

you are right, there is errors when I deployed gerrit.war to Tomcat, it cannot create database "ReviewDb",  but the "ReviewDb" has been created successfully when I run "gerrit.sh start", created some tables manually.

Should I configure Tomcat to use MySql, is there instruction about this? or should I modify the script of "gerrit.sh" in order to run it on windows' 7?

see the error log:
SEVERE: Exception starting filter guiceFilter

I think you need to specify the database connector and host in <TOMCAT dir>/conf/context.xml because it is not able to get this database configurations from gerrit.config. For example postgresql shall look like the following:

<Context path="/" docBase="gerrit" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">

<Resource name="jdbc/ReviewDb" auth="Container"

 type="javax.sql.DataSource"

 driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"

                  url="jdbc:postgresql://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/reviewdb"

                  maxActive="xx"

                  maxIdle="xx"

                  maxWait="xx"

                  validationQuery="select 1" />

</Context>

Unfortunately I think this is not documented.

As Bassem said, you need to create the jdbc resource in the Tomcat conf/context.xml so the database create by the wrapper script is available to the web application.

If you use Tomcat, you do not need the wrapper. Here are the steps you need to do:
1.Get the gerrit.war
2.initialize the gerrit site (java -jar gerrit.war init -d <someFolder>)
3.configure the jdbc resource in <TOMCAT dir>/conf/context.xml
4.copy the jar required by Gerrit to run in <TOMCAT dir>/lib: bouncy castle jars(bcpkix-jdk15on-149.jar and bcprov-jdk15on-149.jar)  and the database client jar (e.g. h2-<version>jar if using h2).
5.add -DGERRIT_SITE=<someFolder> to the CATALINA_OPTS (same folder you initialized at step 2)
6.Deploy gerrit.war.

I am able to sucessfully deploy gerrit.war to tomcat, but when I access "http://localhost:8080/gerrit", got error, how can I fix the authorization error and connect to Git?

Configuration Error

Check the HTTP server's authentication settings.

The HTTP server did not provide the username in the Authorization header when it forwarded the request to Gerrit Code Review.

If the HTTP server is Apache HTTPd, check the proxy configuration includes an authorization directive with the proper location, ensuring it ends with '/':

<VirtualHost localhost:8080>
    ServerName localhost

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyVia Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    <Proxy *>
          Order deny,allow
          Allow from all
    </Proxy>

    <Location /gerrit/login/>
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Gerrit Code Review"
      Require valid-user
      ...
    </Location>

    AllowEncodedSlashes On
    ProxyPass /gerrit/ http://.../gerrit/ nodecode

Did you configure the GERRIT_SITE property to point to the gerrit_site folder you initialized?

[samu...@gmail.com]

copied the git repository into \wabapps\gerrit\, it got different error:

Code Review - Error

500 Internal server error

[Hugo Arès]

You didn't configure the GERRIT_SITE property to point to the gerrit_site folder you initialized so this is why Gerrit cannot find the git repo. Copying the git repo under the deployed webapp is not a solution, think about what will happen if you deploy it again?

CONFIGURE the GERRIT_SITE property to point to the gerrit_site you initialized. You can do this by adding this to the CATALINA_OPTS: -DGERRIT_SITE=<someFolder>

[Zu, Bruce]

Did you check ‘All-Projects.git’ exists or not under ‘<site>/git/’ ?

If it exists

How about try  :

cd  path/to/tomcat/webapps

//Clean any package and file there

ln –s  <Gerrit site>/bin/gerrit.war  ./ROOT.war

//restart tomcat

There is no ‘All-Projects.git’  under ‘<site>/git/’

[Bassem Rabil]

Gerrit wouldn't start unless All-Projects.git exists because this repository stores the Gerrit application preferences and settings. Did you initialize your site using ?

java -jar gerrit.war init -d site_path

[samu...@gmail.com]

yes, after I executed  "java -jar gerrit-2.8.1.war init -d c:\gerrit", it created git folder in c:\gerrit, but  there is no ‘All-Projects.git’  under ‘c:\gerrit\git\’

here is what I did,
I ran "java -jar gerrit-2.8.1.war init -d c:\gerrit" , it copied the war file to c:\gerrit\bin\gerrit.war,  then deployed the "c:\gerrit\bin\gerrit.war" to Tomcat on the Application Manager page,  after that, modified the file "conf\context.xml" to add resource name of DB, <Resource name="jdbc/ReviewDb" ...
modified the file C:\Tomcat7\webapps\gerrit\WEB-INFweb.xml,  added <resource-ref>... and  <security-constraint>...
restart Tomcat, there is no error, Gerrit is started, copied \git from c:\gerrit   to  \webapps\gerrit\

when I access http://localhost:8080/gerrit/, there is error:

[Hugo Arès]

I just tested the site initialization using gerrit 2.8.1 on window7 and the All-Projects.git is created under the <site>/git folder.
Can you try the site initialization again using the java -jar .... command but remove the previous site before, Maybe it failed at one point and now it is not creating the All-Projects because it is updating the site instead of creating it.

Hugo

[samu...@gmail.com]

thanks, I tried many times, there is no All-Projects.git under the <site>/git folder or c:\dataGit\GitProject

I tried with parameters of "git" and "c:\dataGit\GitProject"("c:\dataGit\GitProject" is my local git repository)
Location of Git repositories   [git]: git
Location of Git repositories   [git]: c:\dataGit\GitProject

I am curious, why the same command gave different results, is there difference?

[samu...@gmail.com]

after I dropped all the tables and redid the init, there is All-Projects.git, let me redeploy again

[samu...@gmail.com]

I just copied "All-Projects.git" to site\git\, then it works fine, there is no error, thanks a lot.

[Ankush Thakur]

Hi Samuel & Hugo,

Please help me in setting up Gerrit on Windows7, I have followed below link for setup gerrit on tomcat
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-42271

After setup completion I am hitting http://localhost:8080/gerrit url to get my gerrit page but it says 404 not found. I don't know where I missed the things.
Even when I am executing "gerrit.sh start" from cmd it says "gerrit.sh: line 292: ulimit: virtual memory: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument

Starting Gerrit Code Review: FAILED"

I have setup JDBC, Tomcat for this.
Can you guy help me or can I have a complete steps for setup.

Thanks,
Ankush

[Righardt Marais]

Hi Ankush

Have you managed to get your gerrit installed on windows?

I am trying to get mine installed and configured, but I can't seem to find a good enough guide to instruct - step 1, step 2, step 3
