Problems with the Tomcat Server

Hello Martin,

did you change something manually on the tomcat installation of mashzone?

I remember another recent post from you where the problems under win7 has been solved and mashzone worked fine after that.

Best regards

Hello Thomas,

in this case I installed Aris Mashzone on the PC of a friend. So we didn´t change something manually. Could you imagine how to fix the problem?

Best regards

Hi Martin,

it is hard to believe that nothing was changed on the genuine mashzone's tomcat installation, because your logfile documents that the global naming resource "UserDatabase" is searched but not found during startup procedure.

This resource gets configured via the tomcat's "conf/server.xml" and it is comment completely for the mashzone distribution, so during the normal mashzone boot phase this resource and also its realm will never be requested.

Normaly this feature is addressed for basic authentication during development by the web.xml of a webapplication.

So please check again if there aren't some changes on the mashzone installation or even additional applications were placed into the tomcat instance.

Best regards

Hello Martin,

i check the previous mashzone releases and the "UserDatabase"-Realm was NOT comment., but never causes any trouble. It was just dispensable.

To deactivate this unneccessary realm you just have to comment this rows in [your installation]/system/tomcat/conf/server.xml :

row 39:

<Resource auth="Container" description="User database that can be updated...

and row 114:

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm...

I think this will fix your problem. With the upcoming mashzone release this issue is already considered by default.

Best Regards

Thomas
