Invalid variable for CATALINA_HOME
Have you re-tried the path without the trailing slash?

Hello maschoff,

Yes, I tried. I've also tried tomcat9 with and without trailing slash:

Code: Select all

Current webapp basic configuration:
 JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java
 CATALINA_HOME: None
 Tomcat-Native: None
 WKHTMLTOPDF: None
 WKHTMLTOIMAGE: None

Do you want to change this configuration? (y/N, Blank => Cancel):
 > y
Please enter path for JAVA_HOME (Blank => Cancel, 'Default' for '/usr/lib/jvm/java'):
 > Default

Please enter path for CATALINA_HOME (Blank => Skip configuration of existing Tomcat and install some):
 > /home/openemm/tomcat
 Invalid variable for CATALINA_HOME
 > /home/openemm/tomcat9
Invalid variable for CATALINA_HOME
 > /home/openemm/tomcat9/
Invalid variable for CATALINA_HOME
 >
 
Thank you.

Re: Invalid variable for CATALINA_HOME

Is the following file available in your CATALINA_HOME ?:
${CATALINA_HOME}/lib/catalina.jar

Can you execute:
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -cp ${CATALINA_HOME}/lib/catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo
This should return your available Tomcat Version Info.

The Data in our shipped folder "/home/openemm/tomcat" is only for Tomcat configuration.
Please install or find your Tomcat binary files and use their directory as "CATALINA_HOME".

Hello aso, thank you for your response.

I don't have the file catalina.jar /home/openemm/tomcat/lib/

Here is the content off this folder:

Code: Select all

 [openemm@mm3 ~]$ ls -lha tomcat/lib/
total 4.0M
drwxrwxr-x 2 openemm openemm 4.0K May 29 09:08 .
drwxrwxr-x 6 openemm openemm 4.0K May 29 09:08 ..
-rw-rw-r-- 1 openemm openemm 2.6M May 29 09:08 derby.jar
-rw-rw-r-- 1 openemm openemm 483K May 29 09:08 mariadb-java-client-2.1.2.jar
-rw-rw-r-- 1 openemm openemm 968K May 29 09:08 mysql-connector-java-5.1.40-bin.jar
Here is the output off the command you asked:

Code: Select all

[openemm@mm3 ~]$ ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -cp /home/openemm/tomcat/lib/catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo
The script gave me the opportunity to download and install Tomcat. Here is the output:

Code: Select all

Do you want to install the included Tomcat application now? (Y/n, Blank => Yes):
 > Starting OpenEMM Update ...

Found update package 'apache-tomcat-9.0.33.tar.gz' for application 'TOMCAT' with version '9.0.33'.
Your current version is 'None'.
Download started
[******************************************************************************]

Installation failed. Please install and configure the mandatory Apache Tomcat 9 application manually.
See OpenEMM's "Admin and Install Guide" for help.
I will try to install Tomcat manually.
Thank you for your time!

I've found the problem!

The OpenEMMInstaller.sh executed by user openemm was not able to write the Tomcat installer package in folder /home/openemm/opt. It belogs to root, as you can see below:

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x   5 root    root    4.0K Sep 14 19:21 opt
I just changed the the owner back to openemm and the script worked!

Thank you again maschoff and aso for your time helping me.
Best regards!
