Is OpenKM installed on the same machine from which you try to connect? Is it linux or windows? Is tomcat started? Are there any errors in tomcats logfile?

Bytheway: that screenshot of your computer - i can't read anything on it.

in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml you should change address="127.0.0.1" to "0.0.0.0"

sorry but we have not yet completed all documentation in wiki

Thanks for the new community version. I have tried several versions these day. Finally I chose 5.1.10 before I saw 6.2.0.
I know you are very busy. The documents haven't been updated now. I have a quesion about how to migrate 5.1.10 to 6.2.0? There is no guide now. And now openKM uses Tomcat in 6.x. I don't know how to config it.
Thanks.

Repository exporter 5.1.11 is compatible with repository importer at 6.2.x ( if you have metadata mark, if you want to import all document versions mark history )

Then you should migrate users ( hsql queries ):
Code: Select all
SELECT 'INSERT INTO OKM_USER (USR_ID, USR_NAME, USR_PASSWORD, USR_EMAIL, USR_ACTIVE) VALUES (''' + USR_ID + ''', ''' + USR_NAME + ''', ''' + USR_PASSWORD + ''', ''' + USR_EMAIL + ''', ''' + USR_ACTIVE + ''');' FROM OKM_USER;
SELECT 'INSERT INTO OKM_ROLE (ROL_ID, ROL_ACTIVE) VALUES (''ROLE_' + ROL_ID + ''', ''' + ROL_ACTIVE + ''');' FROM OKM_ROLE;
SELECT 'INSERT INTO OKM_USER_ROLE (UR_USER, UR_ROLE) VALUES (''' + UR_USER + ''', ''ROLE_' + UR_ROLE + ''');' FROM OKM_USER_ROLE;
And grant names
Code: Select all
UPDATE OKM_NODE_ROLE_PERMISSION SET NRP_ROLE='ROLE_USER' WHERE NRP_ROLE = 'UserRole';
UPDATE OKM_NODE_ROLE_PERMISSION SET NRP_ROLE='ROLE_ADMIN' WHERE NRP_ROLE = 'AdminRole';
I suggest you waiting we finishing this section about how doing it ... I'm not totally sure if it's needed something more, this sure it's necessary.

Thanks for your reply. Take your time.
I have a question about "Compact history" function. It seems it isn't discussed a lot in the forum.
I am realy afraid that some users will delete all the history version of a file. Is it a way to avoid it? Or we can export or backup the file versions?
Thanks and have a good weekend.

In professional version the security is extensible and can be added security property called compact, in comunity is not present and any user with write grants can compact it. With community version we have shared two extensions, impiring on it you could try make your own history panel with your own rules.

About export, fromversion 5.1.x ( I do not remember the exact version ) is possible to export documents with all history version.

I managed to get 6.2 up and going pretty painlessly, but the mobile version doesn't work for me - I just get the full desktop version rendered on my phone and tablet. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to do to force mobile version?
 #18777  by jllort
 
Mobile version from 5.x to 6.x has not been updated. Basically from version 5.x to 6.x has several changes on search engine and the mobile feature needs some working. If anyone can help on it adapting version 5.x to 6.x is wellcome.

I have this same error.

OS: Windows 7 Prof

What I've done so far trying to use localhost:
1) Installed the Java JDK
2) Installed OpenKM from the exe on the download page.
3) Tried to use the 0.0.0.0 fix listed above.
4) Tried to run the application directly from the catalina.bat file instead of using the short cuts created on the desktop.
5) Tried running all batch files above as admin

Things I noticed:
1) The Wiki refers to JBoss quite a bit, that doesn't seem to install with the 6.2 package on windows.
2) The default install folder is in the Program Files folder.
3) I cannot find the \bin\run.bat file to set up the access from other computers.

Right now I'm working on a proof of concept before investing any money, so if I can't get this one working I'll try another. However this app seems like the best one out there, so any help would be appreciated.

Can you verify that tomcat (in 6.x it's tomcat instead of jboss) is running? Examine the windows tasklist and have a look inside the logs (found in openkm/tomcat/logs). If tomcat is running, but cannot be reached, there might be windows firewall troubles. If tomcat doesn't start at all, there must some other problem, perhaps missing java in path.

From my experience, running a web/app server in Linux is easier than in Windows; I do all testing in a virtual machine running ubuntu 12.04, and so far I'm delighted - allthough I have to stick to community edition for now.

Stormspace,

I had the same problem after installing 6.2 community on Win Server 2008. I was able to trace it down by looking at the start up messages in the cmd window created when starting the Tomcat server. The problem appeared to be caused by the "program files" directory in the "JAVA_HOME" path having an embedded blank in the name. The "JAVA_HOME" environmental variable is defined in the setenv.bat file located in the OpenKM-6.2.0-community\tomcat\bin directory. I just used the 8.3 name (mine is "progra~1") to fix it, but I'm sure that quotes could be added to the string to fix it instead.

Hope it helps.
