Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Ok, friends. Trying to get JSPWiki set up on a new Amazon EC2 Unbuntu
16.04 instance I just stood up, and I'm having some trouble. Help?
I installed Tomcat8 using apt-get, I wound up with:
/etc/default/tomcat8
/etc/init.d/tomcat8
/etc/tomcat8
Catalina/localhost/{docs,examples,host-manager,manager}.xml
(These have docbase pointing to corresponding subdirs of
/usr/share.)
/usr/share/tomcat8
/var/lib/tomcat8, which has a webapps subdir.
It all seems to be working fine.
So, I downloaded jspwiki.war 2.10.2, renamed it to "wiki.war", and
copied it to /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps, where it promptly got unpacked.
Now, I can see it in my Tomcat app manager, but when I attempt to
start it, I get failures.
First, I got OutOfMemory errors.
I assume Tomcat's default -Xmx=128m is way too small, so I bumped it
up to 768m (I've only got a 1GB EC2 instance (t2.micro), so I think
768m is living dangerously, eh?).
Now I'm getting errors like
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log ERROR: Failed to create
a Wiki engine: JSPWiki: Unable to load and setup properties from
jspwiki.properties. Failed to start. Caused by: Failed to instantiate class
org.apache.wiki.PageManager; please check log files for better information.
(in localhost.2017-01-08.log)
and
java.io.FileNotFoundException: jspwiki.log (Permission denied)
(in catalina.out)
and
INFO [__DEFAULT__]
org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.checkStateForResourceLoading
Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already.
Could not load [net/sf/ehcache/version.properties].
(in catalina.2017-01-08.log)
I grabbed jspwiki.properties with:
unzip jspwiki-war-2.10.2.jar ini/jspwiki.properties
and modified it as follows (renaming it jspwiki-custom.properties):
51c51
< jspwiki.baseURL=http://localhost:8080/JSPWiki/
---
> jspwiki.baseURL=http://web.how-hard-can-it-be.com/wiki/

885c885
< log4j.appender.FileLog.File = jspwiki.log
---
> log4j.appender.FileLog.File = /var/log/jspwiki/jspwiki.log
and tried deploying it to various places
({/var/lib,/usr/share}/tomcat8, /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/wiki).
All to no avail.
What else can I try?
(I'm kind of a Rip van Winkle Java web app developer -- the last time
I touched this technology stack was more than ten years ago, and that
was on JBoss, all of which I've forgotten except the pain.)
Thanks.
John.

Hi John,
My guess is you might be having a permission issue. When you installed
tomcat using apt-get you might have been a "root" user, but might be
running the application as a non root user.
This line seems to be the clue:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: jspwiki.log (Permission denied)
Cheers,
David V

I find the easiest and most risk free way of installation is to use the
Tomcat gui manager app that ships with Tomcat. Just deploy jspwiki.war
from the gui and all the permissions get set automatically by Tomcat. You
can then fiddle about with the files /customisations later. They actually
just all get owned by tomcat7 and group tomcat7 on my installation. I
expect that it's similar on Tomcat8. Although in my case, Tomcat itself is
installed and running as root which is the simplest way.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by John Lusk <jo...@gmail.com>.
Yeah, I saw that, but I wasn't sure what that referred to, since there's
$CATALINA_{HOME,BASE} and I don't recall either of them having a "lib"
subfolder. But, maybe it's $CATALINA_HOME? (Which might leave me vulnerable
to getting zapped by a Tomcat upgrade?)
Anyway, I'll check it out later.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by Dirk Frederickx <di...@gmail.com>.
FWIW:
In the "Getting Started" page, you can read:
In the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib folder (or equivalent based on your servlet
container), place a jspwiki-custom.properties file, which can contain any
overrides to the defaults. See Configuration
<https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Configuration> for these
default values.
These properties overwrite the values of the WEB-INF/jspwiki-properties.
I always keep the custom properties file there, and I never have to
change the exploded war.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by David Vittor <dv...@gmail.com>.
Yeah - the placing the custom properties file in the expanded war folder is
one thing I don't like about jspwiki setup either.
But I know of no workaround at the moment.
Good to see you're making progress.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by John Lusk <jo...@gmail.com>.
Also: success, of sorts. Got my main page up, edited it successfully.
There's something about the work dir not being writable, but from the O/S
perspective, it is. More catalina.policy magic?
Haven't checked the log file yet, but it's probably still wrong.
More later.
John.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by John Lusk <jo...@gmail.com>.
Thanks. Is there another directory than the exploded war file? Reason I ask
is if I get a new war file at some point, that exploded directory will go
away, along w/my customized properties file. (I'll always be able to
restore it after a certain amount of fumbling around, but I'd expect to put
customizations elsewhere.)

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by David Vittor <dv...@gmail.com>.
The customized properites file is: jspwiki-custom.properties
This should be located in <tomcat>/webapps/wiki/WEB-INF/classes
You can change the workDir, or just the log file:
jspwiki.workDir=/opt/digitalspider/jspwiki/wikis/testwiki/data/
log4j.appender.FileLog.File = /var/jspwiki/logs/jspwiki.log
See the docs here:
* https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Documentation
* https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Getting%20Started
But if you have a permission error, it might be more than just the log file.
Cheers,
David V

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8
Posted by John Lusk <jo...@gmail.com>.
Once more, with feeling (and without an attachment):
This file/page/entry is some notes on how I got JSPWiki running on Tomcat8
on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
image running on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instance.
It's an edited version of a question I posted to the users' mailing list.
* Initial Setup: Tomcat 8
I installed Tomcat8 using apt-get, I wound up with:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
/etc/default/tomcat8
/etc/init.d/tomcat8
/etc/tomcat8
Catalina/localhost/{docs,examples,host-manager,manager}.xml
(These have docbase pointing to corresponding subdirs of
/usr/share.)
/usr/share/tomcat8
/var/lib/tomcat8, which has a webapps subdir.
(Note that the real index.html page seems to be at
/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ROOT,
not /usr/share/tomcat8-root/default_root/index.html.
I'm not sure why it's set up this way.)
#+END_EXAMPLE
(For good measure, I chown'd a bunch of directories from root to
tomcat8:tomcat8. Basically,
whatever I thought the Tomcat process would need to have write permission
for.)
Here's a breakdown of directory contents, as far as I can tell:
- /etc/default/tomcat8 :: Shell variables for running
=/etc/init.d/tomcat8=. This is where you
turn on =authbind= and set the maximum heap size for the JVM.
- /etc/init.d/tomcat8 :: Script run at boot time (and at shutdown time)
to fire up (and gracefully
shut down) the Tomcat server. Uses variables set in
=/etc/default/tomcat8=.
- /etc/tomcat8 :: Various config files for Tomcat, including
userid/password for running the
manager app.
- Catalina/localhost :: Subdirectory containing XML files configuring
various context paths for
different web apps in Tomcat. (The "context path" is the part of
the URL that comes after
the host but before the various nitty-gritty names of web pages
and servlets. It's
basically the name of the web app, in one sense, and it's what
allows different apps to run
simultaneously on the same server, since they might have pages
with the same name (e.g.,
=Login.jsp=).
- /usr/share/tomcat8 :: The binaries for the Tomcat server itself.
- /var/lib/tomcat8 :: This is basically where Tomcat apps live (unless
they're configured with
different paths on a per-app basic with the context XMLs in
=/etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost=, something I don't think you need
to worry about to run
JSPWiki).
- webapps :: Where your war file goes (it should be automatically
unzipped as soon as you drop
it in there), and is also where your =jspwiki-custom.properties=
file goes.
- ROOT :: Subdir of =webapps= where you will find your static
=index.html= for all of
Tomcat8 (the "It works!" page). You can add links to various
apps running on the server
(such as your wiki) here if you want.
I also installed =authbind=, in order to bind to ports < 1023 without
running as root. Can't
remember where I saw this, but it's pretty much everywhere.
It all seems to be working fine.
* JSPWiki
So, I downloaded jspwiki.war 2.10.2, renamed it to "wiki.war" (because
the context path should
really just be "wiki", so I can switch wiki platforms at some point in
the future (ha!)), and
copied it to /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps, where it promptly got unpacked.
Now, I can see it in my Tomcat app manager, but when I attempt to start
it, I get failures.
First, I got OutOfMemory errors.
I assume Tomcat's default -Xmx=128m is way too small, so I bumped it up
to 768m in
=/etc/default/tomcat8=. (I've only got a 1GB EC2 instance (t2.micro), so
I think 768m is living
dangerously, eh?).
Now I'm getting errors like
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log ERROR: Failed to create
a Wiki engine: JSPWiki: Unable to load and setup properties from
jspwiki.properties. Failed to start. Caused by: Failed to instantiate class
org.apache.wiki.PageManager; please check log files for better information.

#+END_EXAMPLE
(in catalina.2017-01-08.log)

renamed it =jspwiki-custom.properties=, modified it as follows:

and copied it to =/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/wiki/WEB-INF/classes=.
This is all somewhat counterintuitive, but basically (I think), this
directory is on the
classpath for the webapp, even though it's empty. (There's also a =lib=
directory that has the
webapp's .jar files, as opposed to single .class files.)
*Note the complete pathname for =jspwiki.log= above.* Now were I to get
a permission error on
"jspwiki.log", I'd know what path was being attempted. As it happens, I
made the directory
read/write by user:group tomcat8:tomcat8, so I get no errors.
* =catalina.policy= hijinks
*(NOTE: I am certain this section isn't necessary, or even a good idea,
since the specified path
doesn't exist. I'm leaving this note in, though, in case it's useful for
somebody else.)*
Ok, so I added the following to my
/etc/tomcat8/policy.d/03catalina.policy file:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/wiki/-" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "file:/usr/share/jspwiki-files/-",
"read, write";
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
#+END_EXAMPLE
which (a) doesn't seem to have caused any disasters (yay), but (b) hasn't
done anything nice
(boo). I did a /etc/init.d/tomcat8 restart. The edits appear in
/var/cache/tomcat8/catalina.policy, so I guess that's good.
* Customization of =jspwiki.policy=
(In /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/wiki/WEB-INF.)
Once I got the wiki working, I proceeded to mangle the webapp's policy
file to allow a
public-facing blog/wiki ("bliki") in which I am the only author.
One note: Before I did this, I created a login ("john") and a group with
special name "Admin"
(case-sensitive?) via the public "create your own account!" page. Once
that was done, I was able
to close off the wiki with the following edits.

Ok, gang. Foster Schucker asked for a writeup of my experience, and I'm
slapping it in here (let's see if I can get away with an attachment). Can
anybody suggest a place to add it to the JSPWiki wiki? If so, I'll mangle
it in to Creole; but, if not, I won't bother.

Re: Problem getting started on Ubuntu 16.04/Tomcat 8

Ok, so I added the following to my /etc/tomcat8/policy.d/03catalina.policy
file:
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/wiki/-" {
permission java.io.FilePermission "file:/usr/share/jspwiki-files/-",
"read, write";
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
which (a) doesn't seem to have caused any disasters (yay), but (b) hasn't
done anything nice (boo). I did a /etc/init.d/tomcat8 restart. The edits
appear in /var/cache/tomcat8/catalina.policy, so I guess that's good.
Still getting a permission error on jspwiki.log. Golly day, it sure would
be nice if I had a complete pathname to work with on this one. Not juse
"jspwiki.log".
I have chowned various directories to tomcat8:tomcat8, which is the userid
the process runs under.
Next step: where the heck do I put the customized properties file, what do
I name it? Possibilities are:
- jspwiki.properties
- jspwiki-custom.properties
- wiki.properties
- wiki-custom.properties
Maginc incantation, anyone? (Plus path, would be nice.)
(Thanks.)

I had to do something funky with the catalina.policy file to get jspwiki
working in tomcat8 (apt-get installed)
grant codeBase "file:/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/wiki/-" {
// !!change the directory to the location you want to locate your
wiki files!!
permission java.io.FilePermission
"file:/usr/share/tomcat8/jspwiki-files/-", "read, write";
// just allow the entire codebase permissions to do what it needs.
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
// this file does not exist, but it does solve a problem with
exceptions being thrown in syslog
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/bin/tomcat-juli.jar" {
permission java.io.FilePermission
"/var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/wiki/WEB-INF/classes/logging.properties",
"read";
};

Like you John I'm a Rip van Winkle of bygone computer days. When I
installed Tomcat using apt-get I ran into problems and instead of
knocking my head against the sleep pillow, I downloaded tomcat from the
web and its working...
