Open foris Collect and Calc on Mac OSX Lion

Dear Mino,

Many thanks for the speedy response. I will see how far I get with the installation and will call on you should I require any additional help.

Regards, Wesley

Hi Mino,

I downloaded both Collect and Calc and have upgraded the collect server to the one referenced in your original post. I have run the new server using the sudo ./startup-linux.sh - The server starts but when I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/collect/index.htm and I login using admin credentials I get the following error. Any ideas?

Error: Error #1502

I will revisit requirements to see if I have maybe installed an old version of a required dependancy.

Regards, Wesley

I found a solution to the error. It is a timeout error. Everything works when you refresh the browser.

Hi Mino,

I have managed to get Collect to work on my local machine but am having trouble with Calc. I have installed the software referenced in the github link you shared with me earlier. I believe that all of the software is up to date but Java may be the problem. I have installed jdk-7u79-macosx-x64.dmg which installs into my ...../JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_79.jdk however, when I run java -version I get the following output which appears to be an earlier version.

JanaPatina:Java Wesley$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_33"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-b03-424-11E53)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.8-b03-424, mixed mode)

If I run the startup.sh script in the server-calc directory I get the following output

JanaPatina:calc-server Wesley$ ./startup.sh

Starting Open Foris Calc Tomcat

Using CATALINA_BASE: /Users/Wesley/Documents/work/FAO/OpenForis/Calc/calc-server/tomcat

Using CATALINA_HOME: /Users/Wesley/Documents/work/FAO/OpenForis/Calc/calc-server/tomcat

Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /Users/Wesley/Documents/work/FAO/OpenForis/Calc/calc-server/tomcat/temp

Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home

Using CLASSPATH: /Users/Wesley/Documents/work/FAO/OpenForis/Calc/calc-server/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/Users/Wesley/Documents/work/FAO/OpenForis/Calc/calc-server/tomcat/bin/tomcat-juli.jar

All appears well yet when I then head to http://localhost:8081/calc I get nothing, there are no errors no timeouts just a blank page. There were also no install wizards running. What additional tests can I run to debug the problem?

Many thanks,

Wesley

Hi Mino,

To answer your questions, I am trouble shooting as best I can. I have followed the instructions on the manual installation and have all of the software installed and ready to go. I recently found the logs and have been using those to investigate where the installation and operation may be having trouble. The NPAP and logging adjustments were "experiments" so to speak based on what I read on the internet. In the end I believe that the postgre password was the major stumbling block as calc now runs.

Unfortunately, calc now hangs when I try and an R script so I presume my R installation is not correctly configured. I have installed R and setup the RHOME environment variable in /etc/launchd.conf. I have also installed all the libraries required as specified on the github page yet, when I try and run through the tutorial and attempt to calculate the Sampling unit weight the application hangs when running the R script (Pg 24 of Tutorial). I then shutdown the tab running calc, shutdown the server and restart and calc then hangs. My only fix is to delete the whole server folder and start again. From the windows based tutorials I know that the R path must be specified during installation and that there cant be any whitespaces in the path. I presume the RHOME environmental variable takes care of the path to R and lets java and calc know where to find the applications and libraries.

I will have another look at setting up the tutorial (atlantis data) as perhaps I made an error with some of the inputs. Will let you know if I don't have any luck.
