The First Steps.. you start here

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I have installed Hsqldb and used the script provided by Jforum and created the database. But I do not know how to start Jforum. I was running Hsql Web server mode. It is said no other web server needed. But I do not know how to get it started. Please help. Is Tomcat a must?

In order to run jforum you need a java servlet container like Tomcat.

You find a list of more serlvet containers here :

Hi Rafael!
Thank you for all the hard work!

I have a real - real - newb question.
I'm about to start installing JForum on a server that already has other JSP/Servlets running on it in combination with MySql.

It's one of the 'commodity' hosting packages and I have only limited access to ther server, tech support is lousy too boot.

My existing setup alreay has an WEB-INF dir with web.xml file

So, can I simply drop JForum-xxx dir into the existing structure as is?
for some reason I keep thinking not,

Don't I have to manually integrate the existing web.xml file with the one from JForum dir?

I'm thinking I could just drop all the non-WEB-INF dirs and file into the root dir of existing set up and manually integrate all the contents of the JForum WEB-INF dir into the existing one.

Am I making any sense with this? This might be just a pain-in-the-butt corner case, but there could be others with the same dilema.

Thank you again in advance for any feedback.
Tomasz

https://jforum.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectSource

It gives the following command(s):

OLD:
cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs login

CORRECT (I think):
cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/cvs login

THis is the same for all the other commands on the page. I.e. jforum is not specified specifically. Because I'm a noob to CVS and just copied & pasted I took a while for me to figure this out.

the module name is jforum. the old is right.

Voc̻ consegue ver o JForum rodando localmente, digitando algo do tipo:

http://localhost:8080/JForum ???

Se ṇo, primeiro precisa fazer isso!

Se sim, experimente colocar ao inv̩s de localhost, o n̼mero do seu IP.

Hi

Similarly (to Tomasz post: 17/12/2005) - I am keen to integrate jforum into an existing j2ee web-app.

Very newbie question: I just wanted to confirm jforum best practices i.e. 1. Whether people usually call jforum as an independent web-app? Or alternatively, 2. If its easy to modify a pre-existing web application config and deploy as a single web-app (with jforum integrated).

Many thanks in advance,
Aidan

It is up to you. If you want to integrate it to an existing web application, all you have to do is to copy JForum files to the root directory (aka, you *cannot* craete a directory named, say, "forum" and put jforum files there.. it will not work).

The only extra work you'll have to do is to merge jforum's web.xml your current web.xml

Take a look in your Tomcat logs.. sometimes an error occurs when it is starting, which prevents the Servlet to work properly.

Hi
I have deployed jforum on Jetty built from mavan, the database was happily intalled through the site, but when trying to access the initial page, I have the following:

2009-04-21 13:59:34.405::WARN: /forums/list.page
java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/mortbay/jetty/webapp/WebAppClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "javax/management/MBeanServer"

any idea where I should start debugging?

Thanks in advance
Alan

I don't think JForum uses any management beans... so best guess (and it's a big guess with the odd setup you list), is that there are two of some jar file in the webapp classpath, e.g. WEB-INF/lib and shared directories.

Google is your friend... a quick search of "c3p0 /javax/management/MBeanServer" led me to:
