Two Instances of OpenMeetings Down

[Alex Nyamweya <an...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

As you can guess by the title of my email, I have two instances of
OpenMeetings both running on separate servers that are currently down right
now. When I try going to the sites (I'm using Firefox) I get the 'unable to
connect' page. I didn't do any work on the servers since I last installed
them (which was probably almost two weeks ago). Just to let you know, one
of the OpenMeetings instances is actually a backup. Do you have any idea
why this is happening? It's really getting frustrating because I had to
reinstall OpenMeetings several times already and I really don't want to do
it another time knowing it might happen again. I haven't checked the logs
yet but I'll try doing that and letting you know what it says.

Thank you.

My best guess would be: your OM instances are not set up as *nix services,
so they are not starting automatically ...

Thanks but I realized I didn't set up a cron job for the application so I
did that and it seems to be working now. I just got to hope for the best, I
guess. Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex,

if openmeetings is installed at /opt/openmeetings/ than you should look 
at /opt/openmeetings/log/

Greetings Peter

UPDATE: Restarting the script in Server 1 worked and now it is back up and
running but I would still like to know why it was down in the first place
so that this doesn't happen again. I'm having issues with Server 3 though
as I cannot access my control panel application. I'm getting this message
when I try accessing the OM landing page in one of my servers (the one with
the backup).

*OpenMeetings - Loading ...*
The server is not yet completely initialized. Please try again in a couple
of seconds.
If this message persists for several minutes contact your
Sys-Administration.
If that message stays forever you should check the logs located in

openmeetings_install_dir/log

folder, probably your database user/pwd/host is wrong!

The problem is I don't know exactly where this directory is as there are
several log directories I see under /opt.

Also is this the correct place to check the logs of OpenMeetings:
/opt/openmeetings/log ?
