[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (GERONIMO-6270) Re-enable multiple
instances support in one installation
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6270?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13207877#comment-13207877 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a summary of the problems I am aware of in enabling multiple instances:
# SnapshotConfigXMLBuilder: (not reported) - Wants GERONIMO_HOME/var/monitoring to exist, and will complain if it does not, however, the geronimo instance will continue to start regardless. If it cannot create the directory, Geronimo will show the following error when "Loading agent-car-jmx": ERROR [SnapshotConfigXMLBuilder] Could not make the directory /opt/geronimo-tomcat7-javaee6-3.0-SNAPSHOT-20111220/var/monitoring/
# ActiveMQ: GERONIMO-5987 (reported in comment) - ActiveMQ lock directory is specified relative to the working directory the user starts up the geronimo instance. Also, if ActiveMQ cannot create var/activemq Geronimo will fail to start with the following error when "Loading activemq-broker-blueprint": ERROR [BrokerService] Failed to start ActiveMQ JMS Message Broker. Reason: java.io.IOException: Failed to create directory 'var/activemq'
# GERONIMO_TMPDIR: GERONIMO-5987 (reported in comment) - The start script sets the temp directory relative to GERONIMO_HOME, but instead should be set relative to the Geronimo Instance directory
# Karaf: GERONIMO-6174 - Karaf expects to use {karaf.home}/etc/shell.init.script each time a shell session is started, but I think ideally that should be {karaf.base}/etc/shell.init.script
# Repository: GERONIMO-6175 - The repository will use one in {org.geronimo.server.dir}/repository if configured, but some Geronimo code still expects a writable repository to exist at GERONIMO_HOME/repository. If it does not exist, Geronimo will fail to start with the following errors when "Loading rmi-naming": (1) WARN [RMIRegistryService] RMI Registry failed, (2) ERROR [GBeanInstanceState] Error while starting; GBean is now in the FAILED state: abstractName="org.apache.geronimo.framework/rmi-naming/3.0-beta-1/car?ServiceModule=org.apache.geronimo.framework/rmi-naming/3.0-beta-1/car,j2eeType=GBean,name=RMIRegistry"
To see some of the complaints, the var directory must be removed from GERONIMO_HOME, and in its place you must create a file named var. This will prevent Geronimo from creating GERONIMO_HOME/var when it discovers it does not exist.
Here is the procedure to create two geronimo instances:
# Follow steps in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC30/Running+multiple+Geronimo+instances
# Use the below start script
# create an empty file GERONIMO_HOME/var
# To expose some issues, comment out the work-arounds and restart.
Here is a start script I use to workaround some, but not all, of the issues as we are able.
