Collect server not working on Ubuntu (this is a multi-user environment)

Here is my collect.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <context path="/collect" reloadable="false">
<resource name="jdbc/collectDs" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" driverclassname="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:&lt;a href=" postgresql:="" localhost:5432="" collect""="">postgresql://localhost:5432/collect" username="collect" password="collect123" initialSize="5" maxActive="20" maxIdle="5"> </resource> </context>

please try to follow the instructions here: https://www.openforis.support/questions/1821/setup-collect-desktop-in-a-server-for-a-multi-user-environment

I've gone through this link couple of times but still no luck. Just out of curiosity. what java version is preferred. I'm using version 11.

The structure of your XML file seems to be broken.
The content of the file should be something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context path="/collect" reloadable="false"> <Resource name="jdbc/collectDs" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/collect" username="collect" password="REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_PASSWORD" initialSize="5" maxActive="20" maxIdle="5"> </Resource> </Context>

I didn't put the entire script because the number of character is more than what is allowed in this comment box.

Here is the error when try to manually start the collect from tomcat. FAIL - Application at context path [/collect] could not be started

We have contacted you to your private email, please answer that email, many thanks.
