Toro installer will not accept my db password

[lauramc...@gmail.com]

I was going through the installation steps and once I entered my
database password, which included a exclamation, I received an error
message. The error message stated, "The field is not of the correct
format".

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Laura.

Yeah. It really shouldn't validate passwords. I created a jira issue
for this http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/TORO-36.

The workaround is to run the installer in remote-config mode and
specify an empty password "". It will generate an ant properties file
called ant.installer.properties in the current directory for all the
configurations you specify. You will need to edit this file and
modify the property jdbc.password. Save this file and then run the
installer in text-auto mode:
java -jar toro-installer-x.x.x.jar text-auto.

Hope this helps.

I tried your advice and it seemed to work but then after 30 minutes I
received the following errors:

The following error occurred while executing this line:
/tmp/antinstall6/build.xml:1223: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
/tmp/antinstall6/build.xml:2110: Java returned: 1

Do you happen to know the cause? I checked out those line numbers and
this is what lines of code it's failing at:

<antcall target="ensure-security-contexts-cached"/>

<java fork="true" failonerror="true" dir="${work.dir}"
classname="net.unicon.toro.installer.tools.EnsureSecurityContextsHaveCaching">

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Laura,

Can you attach your deployed security.properties file? Also, attach
any *.log files from /tmp/antinstall6.

Btw, subsequent installs will not take as long on that server since
you've probably downloaded most of the dependent libraries.

I got the installer to work after starting from scratch. I decided to
start out small and install the gateway portlet and once I get this
working I would maybe install a couple more.

Thanks for the help.
