There's a preconfigured tomcat installed in qnap ? are you using this or which comes with openkm ?

[Ganesh]

I am using that comes with openkm?

[jllort]

Stop openkm, Delete catalina.log file, start again and see if there's some error there.

Hello jllort,
thanks for your help so far. I am still struggling with it.
I installed openkm with tomcat bundle. I uninstalled the tomcat thats come with qnap.
when i try to open openkm through browser I got error- requested resource(/openkm) cannot be found.
I can open tomcat page though i cannot modify anything through it as it is locked for security reason.
can you please provide me with some installation guidelines.

[jllort]

For what I understood you're using tomcat which comes by default with qnap is that ? in this case should be needed some changes in tomcat configuration to get openkm running, and depending how tomcat is installed this changes are not trivial ( not easy to explain what to change because are several possibilities ).

Hi,
I´m also trying to install OpenKM on a Qnap NAS TS-459 Pro II https://www.qnap.com/i/en/product_x_dow ... t_choose=3. Qnap comes with Tomcat 7.0.50 as an installable App. Tomcat app also states that, before installing it, you should also install JRE 8.6.0 (Java 6) another app available for installation.
I´m not an expert but I guess I can´t install OpenKM + Tomcat bundle on this machine, can I?
If not, can I somehow install OpenKM with the Tomcan + JRE environment that the Qnap NAS TS-459 Pro II provides?
Thanks,
Pablo

Before speding time thinking on how to use this tomcat, where will you install database ?

I've seen technicals papers and seems this hardware comes with 1GB of ram, I think your on confusion about what is a networking server ( to store binary files and not much else ) and what needs a DMS ( dms save files but does something else, like indexing that need processing documents to extract its contents that use a lot of cpu and ram for it etc... ).

NAS is not an option to install into a DMS sofware ( anyone ).

Hi,
Thank you for your quick reply. My Qnap has many more features than a plain NAS and I upgraded its memory to 4GB so I guess that, being a soho user, should be enough. What do you think?

For instance, some of the applications that I have installed in it and that are needed/useful to run OpenKM are Apache (PHP, SQLite, GD, etc.), JRE 8.6, Tomcat 7.0.50, MySQL server, phpMyAdmin 4.1.13.1, etc.

Here´s a forum about the Tomcat version that Qnap supports (mine is X86)
http://forum.qnap.com/viewforum.php?f=166
One thing I realized looking at other Qnap users Tomcat´s screenshots is that I should be able to access “Tomcat Manager Application” page. There, there´s an option to Deploy Applications in different ways and there´s one option to browse, upload and deploy WAR files.

I guess I should download Openkm-6.3.0-war.zip ( All platforms * ) access that page and deploy this version into my system. Is that right?
The problem is that I can´t access Tomcat Manager Application either because JRE or Tomcat are not properly installed in my NAS but that is not related to OpenKM. So, I´ll try to solve this problem first and then come back to this post with results.

The openkm-tomcat bundle comes with a tomcat-7.0.27 with some added files and other modified, will be not only installating war file, also should be modified server.xml, add OpenKM.cfg and OpenKM.xml files, some libs into tomcat/lib etc...

The easiest probably will be compare clean tomcat-7.0.27.zip with ours to see differences. You must check differences on this folders:
/conf ( at least server.xml and probably others )
/OpenKM.cfg
/OpenKM.xml
/webapps/OpenKM.war
/libs ( some folders and missing libraries sure )

Thanks a lot for the info.
I´ll try to fix my JRE and Tomcat installation and get back to this post later with the info you suggest I should get from Tomcat.

Hi,
I managed to get Tomcat working on my Qnap, deployed openkm.war, went to Tomcat´s Tomcat Web Application Manager and hit start next to OpenKM.
I´ve got this error which was kind of expected as I haven´t done any of the comparison work you mentioned:

FAIL - Application at context path /OpenKM could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/OpenKM]]

I´ll be using Tomcat only for OpenKM. Instead of comparing, copying/pasting can I just overwrite/add those file folders you mentioned?
I´m a total beginner on this so I would appreciate an easy way to get OpenKM working.
Thank you in advance for your help.

An easy way to get OpenKM installed is run our OpenKM + tomcat bundle, other kind of configuration are hand made, then can be easy or not.

I would like you post here your catalina.log file ( stop openkm, remove the file, and start, then zip the file and upload here ). I think the log will gave us some idea about what's happening.

[pablogiganti]

Yes, I understand that without installing your version of Tomcat everything is going to be more complicated. The problem is that you can only install .qpkg apps using its apps manager and I don´t think there´s a .qpkg version of Tomcat + OpenKM bundle, is it?

Where is that file located? I looked here : /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/Tomcat/tomcat/logs but there´re a bunch of files with similar names to catalina.log but none called exaclty like that.
E.g.
catalina.2014-01-28.log
catalina.2015-05-21.log
catalina.2015-05-22.log
catalina.out
host-manager.2014-01-28.log
localhost.2014-01-28.log
localhost_access_log.2014-01-28.txt
manager.2014-01-28.log
...etc.

Shall I delete all three catalina.2014-01-28.log, catalina.2015-05-21.log, catalina.2015-05-22.log, start OpenKM and post any new file here?
Thanks,
Pablo

[jllort]

should be a file named catalina.log file
