Hello Markus
The issue of data dir outside not working was an issue of ownership. This one is solved.
About the connection, the IPT interface provides med with "Could not establish db connection: Communications link failure Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago."
The log file is compressed and attached to this mail.
Thanks, Mickaël

Mickael, real sorry from my side. Seemed that I've uploaded a wrong snapshot version to our ftp server. The war there didnt give any message to me neither. I've updated the file and the current ftp war (same name) does work for me now. But I really had to remove tomcats cached work folder files in order to be taken up, pretty stupid, but well.
You mentioned pointing IPT to a data dir outside didnt work? That would be a serious issue, but I cant reproduce that. If that still is true for you, can you please let us know what exactly happens?
cheers, Markus

Markus,
I undeployed IPT from the manager interface of tomcat. Then I uploaded the RC2 file from the same interface. This removed all the settings.
Since then I restarted tomcat numerous times. I removed the cache this morning but nothing changed.
Now I just did what you wrote below, but I copied back the data directory because IPT didn't like having dataDir pointing to another place.
So when I come to my existing resource, under Source Data/SQL Data Sources I get the following message: "No Database connected. Please adjust connection parameters to use SQL sources"
The I click on Edit, all my parameters are in place and I save it. Then I come back to the previous page I get the message "Resource has been updated successfully." but the message under SQL Data Sources is the same as before.
This is what is logged after starting tomcat, login and getting to the resource and saving the database information, and it's not much:
INFO main-AppConfig.reloadLogger(416) | Reloaded log4j settings from /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt/data/logging/ipt-developer.xml INFO main-AppConfig.<init>(57) |
IPT_DATA_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt/data IPT_WEBAPP_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/ipt IPT_BASE_URL: http://www.gbif.se:8080/ipt IPT_GEOSERVER_URL: http://www.gbif.se:8080/geoserver IPT_GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/geoserver/data
Cheers, Mickaël

Mickael, do you get any feedback a) in the UI when saving a sql connection b) in the logs?
if not, how did you upgrade your installation? You might want to try:
- stop tomcat
- copy your existing data dir somewhere else
- remove the exploded webapps folder
- remove the cached version in tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/ipt
- start tomcat with ipt.war inside webapps
- stop tomcat
- update webapps/ipt/WEB-INF/classes/ipt.properties to point to your
saved data dir
- start tomcat
thats the procedure for upgrading to a new IPT version while keeping your data if its still living within the default webapps folder. Did you do this and still get no message when saving a not working db connection?

Markus,
The RC2 didn't help much, I'm totally blind as to find where the problem comes from.
I was wondering if you could tell me which files are involved in the process so I can get a better understanding?
Cheers, Mickaël

Mickael, the latest IPT war snapshot can be found here:
ftp://ftp.gbif.org/projects/ipt/downloads/ipt-1.0RC2-SNAPSHOT.war
This version logs connection problems and also uses in addition to tomcat logging an ipt.log file inside the data/logging dir. It also shows a simple message if you configure a bad connection in the manager UI. If you have time, please use this to find out more about your mysql conenction problem.
thanks, Markus

Mickael, I looked at the source again and the IPT really doesn't log any errors when changing the db connection. This is obviously not very helpful, so I've updated the code already to do so. I will upload a new war file today, so if you like you can try this version and hopefully find the reason for your connection problem. Will post the links later.
many thanks, Markus
