Deploying to a Tomcat Server

[adaykin]

Hey I'm not sure how to go about with the basic Tomcat setup. The directory that my files are in is C:\Users\adaykin\workspace\webApps. My Tomcat installation directory (I'm on vista) is C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-6.0.14. When I tried to run the build.xml file, I got a message in the console that said:

Buildfile: C:\Users\adaykin\workspace\webApps\build.xml

BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\adaykin\workspace\webApps\build.xml:85: C:\Users\adaykin\apache-tomcat-6.0.14\lib not found.

Total time: 209 milliseconds

Here is my build.properties file I am using for the ant file build.xml:

# Ant properties for building the springapp

appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14
# for Tomcat 5 use $appserver.home}/server/lib
# for Tomcat 6 use $appserver.home}/lib
appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/lib

deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps

tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/html
tomcat.manager.username= my user name
tomcat.manager.password= my password

Ok I just solved it. How can I mark this as solved?

If you have solved it you should post details of how you solved it that will help others when searching the forum.

All I had to do was put the path to the Tomcat directory in the appserver.home

Hello,
I' new to spring, and trying to do the tutorial in the the spring documentation spring-mvc-setp-by-set.pdf

I'm on Mac OS X Tiger, java 1.5.0_13, using eclipse, Tomcat 6.0.16, stored in /Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/

I'm trying to build the ant's script (p.8), I modified the line
appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/
to the version 6.0.16
appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/


I'm getting the following error :
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/Users/olivier/Documents/developement/workspace/springapp/build.xml:75: /Users/olivier/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/lib not found

I thought that it was because I installed tomcat in another directory than /Users/olivier/apache ....

So I tried modifying this line in the build.properties to fit with my install :
appserver.home=/Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/

But I'm still getting the same error :
BUILD FAILED
/Users/olivier/Documents/developement/workspace/springapp/build.xml:75: /Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/lib not found.

I'm blocked on this error because the directory /Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/ exists (a cd directory name works ...) and there's a /lib directory with jars in it ...

I also tried permissions but nothing worked.

It's probably due to a mistake from myself, as I'm new to Mac OS X, but i succeeded in installing tomcat and launch its main page, so I'm probably not far of it. I'm interested if you see any evident mistkakes, or if you have a link to a recent tutorial of installing tomcat (version 6.0.14 to fit with spring tutorial would be great) on Mac OS X.

Thanks for your attention

Olivier

I had problem same as DROPZONE51 when i was trying Spring-mvc-step-by-step.
I put the path to the Tomcat directory in the appserver.home, like ADAYKIN.
I fixed that problem like that:
appserver.home=${user.home}/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/
===>
appserver.home=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0

and it's OK.

Sorry, i forgot.
Note the path: "\" replace with "/" (slash in the path)

Thanks for answering, but, I already tried to put the path of my Tomcat install Directory like :
appserver.home=/Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/

where a
cd /Library/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/lib works in terminal
and I put a 777 rights recursively on the apache-tomcat directory to be sure it's not a problem of permissions.

If any other ideas

Thx for all

I think you shoud type the path exactly with your Tomcat directory. Try it, : )

Thanks for this trying, but if you read my previous post, you see that if I try a cd "the error missing directory given by ant", it works. So the name of the directory of tomcat I copy/pasted was good, or I missed smthg.

Thx for all
