Wookie 404 error
Hi,
I'm trying to run Wookie on Tomcat. However, when I go to :8080/wookie on the
server, I get a 404 error.
Restarting Tomcat puts the following in the Catalina log:
29-Mar-2010 13:49:56 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init

I'm using the SVN code that I checked out this morning. Any clues?

Apologies for a tardy reply Gav,
in essence you are 100% correct. I'm about to update a wiki on our setup
with the cleaned-up version of my install process with the fixes
(including the Tomcat security - put the specific stuff in rather than
the grant all if you can), and making sure that the correct ownership
and permissions apply to all the components that you install.
Basically it was my gaff in the first place. I have spent most of my 20
odd years with *NIX doing stuff as Root, and when you issue the *ant*
commands to build and deploy the wookie components and widgets - it all
gets done as root, which means Tomcat can't work with the structure for
sure in an Ubuntu / Debian base.
Glad it worked for you first time round. I know it would be fine if I
went ahead and did it now. Funnily enough I had no probs building Tomcat
using apt-get.
best wishes all
Steve

I've read this and the other threads regarding Wookie and Tomcat/mySQL
(especially on Ubuntu it seems) and was expecting the same deal when I come
to install it on the demo server.
However, maybe just lucky me, but I experienced no such problems and had to
do none of this workaround stuff or alter any security settings.
There may be a difference in the way I did some things which is why I am
mentioning it here.
I created a user 'wookie' for installing and running the 'wookie' stuff.
I created a 'tomcat' user for installing and running 'tomcat'
I downloaded the tomcat .tar.gz and extracted it to
/usr/local/tomcat-$version
I pointed the webapp dir as appropriate to
/usr/local/tomcat-$version/webapps
I did chown -R tomcat:wookie on the webapps dir
I did chmod g+w on the webapps dir (giving the wookie user/group write
access)
subversion/mysql/java etc and all other prereqs were installed with apt-get
but NOT Tomcat
As you've experienced, Tomcat via apt-get is a mess and I don't recommend
using it, downloading the .tar.gz file from tomcat.apache.org/download.html
and extracting it is all the installation it needs.

Aha! I had found that earlier but dismissed it as I couldn't find a .policy file
where I expected it to be.
For anyone reading this in search of answers, Ubuntu installs policy files to
/etc/tomcat6/policy.d
I removed the files that Ubuntu had created and replaced them with a single
catalina.policy containing the "grant all" statement described by Sander.
Thanks for your help!

Looking through the old posts, it sounds like it might be a problem that
Steve & Sander also had to do with Tomcat's security manager.

It sounds like it would be worth running with debug logging turned on
(see [1]) and change
log4j.logger.org.apache.wookie=info
to
log4j.logger.org.apache.wookie=debug
You may want to increase logging on other code too.

Allo!
catching up on emails, meant to send one to you and yours to say thanks for all your help last week.
Meantime, can you tell me how to get hold of the Moodle block? I've found content in the repository at:
http://cvs.moodle.org/contrib/plugins/blocks/wookie/
Is this the best place? Need to do a CVS check out?
hope you are well
back in Bolton Wednesday for the Change in Technology Enhanced Education Workshop.

Mark, when I got a pile of errors like these last week there was some run-on error lines further down starting with "caused by..."
which gave Paul and myself some further clues, do you have anything like these?

Try removing the the jar...
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/wookie/WEB-INF/lib/servlet-api-2.5.jar

Note: Also make sure the wookie/wservices folder is writeable by wookie
(or whoever has the permission as the web user on your machine)
