Hi,

i am installing communote on ubuntu 10.04 server 64 (minimal install).

ad@communote:~$ cd Communote-1.1.4/
ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ sudo ./setup.sh

Done.
You should visit http://localhost:8080/ now to finish the installation. 

If your server wasn't started automatically, you should try to start it manually using:
   sudo su communote <Enter>
   /opt/communote/communote/bin/startup.sh <Enter>

ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ 

ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ sudo su communote
communote@communote:/home/ad/Communote-1.1.4$ /opt/communote/communote/bin/startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /opt/communote/communote

communote@communote:/home/ad/Communote-1.1.4$ exit
exit
ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ sudo ps aux|grep communote
ad        2122  0.0  0.1   7628   924 pts/0    S+   13:52   0:00 grep --color=auto communote
ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ telnet localhost 8080
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ 

So there is no process "communote" and no one listening on port 8080

Can you help?

Edit:

ad@communote:~/Communote-1.1.4$ sudo netstat -nltp

Edit2:

This is the original startup script:

Solution:

I copied the 64 bit JRE from the installer manually to:

/opt/communote/jre-1.6.0_18

The dir was empty, now it has:

ad@communote:/opt/communote/jre-1.6.0_18$ ls
bin  COPYRIGHT  javaws  lib  LICENSE  man  plugin  README  THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt  Welcome.html

Now it starts as it should:

sudo su communote -c "/opt/communote/communote/bin/startup.sh" 

Thank you fmysky!

Edit:

After some time I decided to reinstall communote on a 32 bit virtual machine. The JVM was sometimes slow on 64 bit.

From serverfault mit

• try 64-bit jre?

  mit : I found this in the logfile: /opt/communote/communote/bin/catalina.sh: 448: /opt/communote/jre-1.6.0_18/bin/java: not found

  mit : Great, you solved it. I copied 64 bit jre from the installer manually to the location from the logfiles.

  fmysky : oh great! thanks!

• The setup.sh installer script tries to detect the architecture of your system. This is done by invoking 'uname -m' and checking whether it equals x86_64. This seems to fail on your Ubuntu installation. To fix this problem could you please tell us the output of that command.
