<p>During an Ant build of Metacat, you will see many HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse and
|
| 62 |
|
|
other errors. The compiler will complain that it cannot find a symbol, for example:</p>
|
| 63 |
|
|
<div class="code">
|
| 64 |
|
|
[javac] /home/daigle/workspace/metacat/build/src/edu/ucsb/nceas/metacat/MetaCatServlet.java:506: cannot find symbol<br>
|
| 65 |
|
|
[javac] symbol : class HttpServletResponse<br>
|
| 66 |
|
|
[javac] location: class edu.ucsb.nceas.metacat.MetaCatServlet<br>
|
| 67 |
|
|
[javac] HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {<br>
|
| 68 |
|
|
[javac] ^<br>
|
| 69 |
|
|
</div>
|
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
|
|
<p>This is usually caused by the build not being able to find native Tomcat libraries. edit your
|
| 72 |
|
|
build.properties file in
|
| 73 |

|
<p>The symptoms are that the metacat service will not show up at all, even though Tomcat
|
| 79 |
|
|
is serving, and the following error shows up in the tomcat log (catalina.log):</p>
|
| 80 |
|
|
|
| 81 |
|
|
<div class="code">org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: User-specified log
|
| 82 |
|
|
class 'org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger' cannot be found or is
|
| 83 |
|
|
not useable </div>
|
| 84 |
|
|
|
| 85 |
|
|
<p>This message typically occurs in the tomcat log (catalina.log)
|
| 86 |
|
|
when Tomcat has been installed on an Ubuntu/Debian system using apt-get install.
|
| 87 |
|
|
And the application is started using:
|
| 88 |
|
|
|
| 89 |
|
|
<div class="code">/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start</div>
|
| 90 |
|
|
|
| 91 |
|
|
<p>The problem is that the standard startup scripts reference the
|
| 92 |
|
|
common java service, jsvc. Metacat will not run under jsvc. The solutions are:
|
| 93 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 94 |
|
|
<li>Download the <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/download.html">Metacat binary install package</a>
|
| 95 |
|
|
and replace your /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 startup script with the one provided in the
|
| 96 |
|
|
package.</li>
|
| 97 |
|
|
<li>Run Tomcat from the Tomcat binary directory: <tomcat_home>/bin/startup.sh and
|
| 98 |
|
|
<tomcat_home>/bin/shutdown.sh</li>
|
| 99 |
|
|
</ul>

<a name="DbUpdateIssue"></a><div class="header2">Database Update Fails (not a connectivity issue)</div>
|
| 103 |
|
|
<p>There are a number of reasons why the database update utility might fail during
|
| 104 |
|
|
configuration. You will need to determine if the error returned indicates a connectivity issue
|
| 105 |
|
|
or some issue with the database schema/data. If it is the latter, the first step in
|
| 106 |
|
|
troubleshooting the issue is to run the db scripts manually and analyze the output.</p>
|
| 107 |
|
|
|
| 108 |
|
|
<p>The configuration utility will report which scripts it tried to run. To
|
| 109 |
|
|
run these scripts, refer to
|
| 110 |
|
|
<a href="../user/run-db-scripts.html">how to run database scripts</a></p>
|
| 111 |
|
|
|
| 112 |
|
|
<p>If the answer is not obvious, further troubleshooting may require a database
|
| 113 |
|
|
administrator.</p>

<a name="MapDisplayIssue"></a><div class="header2">Maps will not display</div>
|
| 117 |
|
|
<p>There are two known reasons why maps might not display in a web browser.</p>
|
| 118 |
|
|
<ul>
|
| 119 |
|
|
<li>Sarfari Browser - the safari browser is not supported by the map libraries. You will
|
| 120 |
|
|
need to switch to a different browser.</li>
|
| 121 |
|
|
<li>Firefox Browser with the Firebug plugin - Firebug is a plugin that allows a developer
|
| 122 |
|
|
to easily view and troubleshoot web page layouts. Unfortunately, this plugin can
|
| 123 |
|
|
keep the maps from displaying. There is no plan by the third party map display
|
| 124 |
|
|
developers to address this issue. You will need to disable Firebug in your
|
| 125 |
|
|
browser.</li>

<p>When running "ant test", multiple tests fail. The output files have the error: </p>
|
| 131 |
|
|
<div class="code">503 Service Temporarily Unavailable</div>
|
| 132 |
|
|
<p>This typically means your Metacat server is not running.</p>
