ControlTier installation help

[Sriharsha Setty]

Hello,

I have been trying to install the latest version of ControlTier (v.
3.6) on Ubuntu 10.04. I am using the zip installer. While install.sh
reports a successful install, I haven't been successful in getting to
run ControlTier. Jetty reported an error about ctl.base not being
set.

$CTIER_ROOT/ctlcenter/ctlcenter-config.properties had the correct
CTL_ROOT i.e. ctl.base=/home/harsha/ctierroot/ctl

I was asked on the IRC channel to set JAVA_OPTIONS="$JAVA_OPTIONS -
Dctl.base=/home/harsha/ctierroot/ctl" (which is my CTL_ROOT), but it
did not help.

The entire log file is here for your perusal.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Harsha,

Have you checked you're environment setup?

The installer should have generated a .ctierrc file like the following:

Anthonys-MacBook-Pro-2:~ anthony$ cat ~/.ctierrc

# this file was generated by ControlTier installer.

export CTIER_ROOT=/Users/anthony/ctier

export CTL_HOME=/Users/anthony/ctier/pkgs/ctl-3.5.4

if [ -z "$CTL_BASE" ] ; then

  export CTL_BASE=/Users/anthony/ctier/ctl

fi

# Server settings

export JETTY_HOME=/Users/anthony/ctier/pkgs/jetty-6.1.21

export JETTY_LOGS=/Users/anthony/ctier/pkgs/jetty-6.1.21/logs

export JETTY_RUN=$JETTY_LOGS

export JAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home

CONFIG_PROPS="-Dctlcenter.config.location=/Users/anthony/ctier/ctlcenter/ctlcenter-config.properties -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/Users/anthony/ctier/pkgs/jetty-6.1.21/etc/file-loginModule.conf"

export JAVA_OPTIONS="-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024m -Xms256m $CONFIG_PROPS"

export PATH=$CTL_HOME/bin:$JETTY_HOME/bin:$PATH

if [ -n "$BASH" -a -n "$CTL_BASE" -a -d "$CTL_BASE"/etc ] ; then

    . $CTL_HOME/etc/bash_completion.sh ;

    if [ -t 0 -a -z "$CTL_CLI_TERSE" ]

    then

      CTL_CLI_TERSE=true

      export CTL_CLI_TERSE

    fi

fi

... and you should have manually updated your .bashrc file as follows:

Anthonys-MacBook-Pro-2:~ anthony$ cat ~/.bashrc 

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions

if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then

        . /etc/bashrc

fi

# User specific aliases and functions

if [ -f ~/.ctierrc ]; then

        . ~/.ctierrc

else

        echo ~/.ctierrc not found 1>&2

fi

... make sure you re-login or source .bashrc before starting the ControlTier server (this is documented on the Wiki).

That said; what shell are you running? I recall that on Ubuntu /bin/sh might not be bash ...

Finally, what JAVA_HOME (and version of Java) did you use for the install? e.g. I have:

Anthonys-MacBook-Pro-2:~ anthony$ echo $JAVA_HOME 

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home

Anthonys-MacBook-Pro-2:~ anthony$ $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version

java version "1.6.0_22"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

Thanks,

Anthony.

Thanks Anthony,

I changed .bashrc to source .ctierrc, logged out, logged in again and I could successfully launch CTL Center.
