I just followed what "bits" did in this thread: http://forum.openemm.org/installation-u ... html#p6190

Is that the right thing to do?

Could be that Python can not find your Tomcat installation. If OpenEMM does not find your Tomcat installation you can define its path manually in file openemm.py in directory OpenEMM/bin via property "tomcathome". If set to "None" OpenEMM will try to find Tomcat on its own.

I had done that. I was getting an error running the setup batch file, so I added the tomcat path the py file. Then after setup, only the Tomcat Homepage would show up.

Here is what my py looks like:

SOLVED:Re: OpenEMM 2011 Windows Install

Post by timr »

I ran into this same error (No such file or directory) when I ran start.bat and this is how I solved it.

When you do the Windows install, some of the needed files are not installed, specifically startup.sh. So what I did is to install Tomcat 6 with the installer (32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer) which doesn't have startup.sh, downloaded the zip file (32-bit Windows zip) which does have startup.sh, unzipped it into a temp directory and copied all of the files located in unzipped file bin folder into the bin folder of the installed Tomcat, without overwriting any of the files already there. Once I did this, everything started fine when I ran start.bat and I've been sending emails with no problem for about a month. I'm not sure and haven't had time to test but it seems like Tomcat doesn't have to be installed to run OpenEMM because start.bat makes the Tomcat call when you run it. The reason I think this is because I have my Tomcat installation disabled under Configure Tomcat and OpenEMM works and runs Tomcat with no problem when I run start.bat. May not be the best solution but this worked for me.

One caveat though...

Even after applying Bug fix #6 "Windows can't find your Tomcat installation?", I could not get it to run from the normal Tomcat install path (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0) so I installed Tomcat into the root of C: (C:\Tomcat6) and changed the path in openemm.py. Not the best thing but this works for me.

Thanks for the info! We will look into that and change the Windows install documentation accordingly.

Re: OpenEMM 2011 Windows Install

Hi,
I am sorry I am continuing this problem here, but it was already setup and i am part of it.
I have tried everything to make it work. Still no luck. Could it be the version of OpenEMM that we are using; we are using 5.0.2.
Is there any other way to insure that our newsletters don't end up in spam?

Any help would be appreciated.

I had this problem too and the fix is very easy.

It is caused when the Windows Installer (WinInst) package is used rather that using the Windows ZIP file (apache-tomcat-6.0.nn-windows-x86.zip). If you un-install the WinInst version and unzip the ZIP version to C:\ then all will be good again. Just make sure you restore the openemm.py file to the "just installed" version of if you have made any changes.

All the problems are manly caused by spaces in the path to the WinInst version of Tomcat and how the openemm.py script deals with them (I guess Lynix doesn't have spaces in it's paths). There are some missing files in the WinInst version too which causes the initial errors posted here.

We will consider this in the next version of the Windows install documentation.
