Cannot install HR Sample Application

stefan_sperling — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 14:41:02 GMT

I tried installing the HR Sample Application but the installer always failes after the context import with following message:Failed to ping CMIS WS : [Invalid user name or password specified]@SIMPLE_CMIS{http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmis}.I tried installing it twice on a CentOS 6.2 server, once wi

Did you start the installer with the following command?

sudo install-owd-hr.sh -ap <alfresco_path> -u <user_name> -p <password>

If so, did you use correct user name and password, as this is what exception tells:
[Invalid user name or password specified]

I do not have any experience with the installer on CentOS or Fedora. The only environments I have tested were Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.4. But as installation worked on Ubuntu, it should also work on CentOS and Fedora in general.

I used the command as specified in the documentation using -u admin and -p admin as last parameters, those are also the credentials I use when logging in.
I even tried creating another user with administrator rights and use those credentials, first to log in and afterwards to run the script, still the same error

Is your Alfresco Tomcat running on port 8080?

Do you get a result page when calling http://localhost:8080/alfresco/cmis in any web browser while Alfresco server is running?

When I call http://<server ip address>:8080/alfresco/cmis I get a page showing the complete service list, 12 services in total.
As I mentionned before, both Alfresco and OWD are running fine, I can even access Alfresco via Sharepoint protocol from Office applications. I just can't get the HR App to install.
What I did notice is that the ACLService is still not used in the WDSL section (for a local Alfresco system) in owbootstrap.xml, could that be the reason?

No, it is fine without ACL WSDL entry, because official ACL support will come with the upcoming OWD 3.2.0.0 release and is not yet available in current Community Edition. I will have a deeper look into the Installer, maybe I can provide a version with debug output.

Thanks for your swift reply.
I noticed another 'bug' in the installer, it requires to be run from a full path without spaces e.g. it wil run from /root/hrapp/ but not from /root/HR Application/ complaining that /root/HR is not an application

Could you attach the folder Alfresco\oat\owd-hr packed as archive. This folder includes the installer log files. Maybe they can give more detail on this issue.

You are right with pathes including spaces. To make it run located in a path including spaces you would have to adopt the install-owd-hr.sh file like the following:

SCRIPTDIR=$(cd $(dirname "$0"); pwd)

OA_SH=$SCRIPTDIR/bin/oa.sh

$OA_SH -i $SCRIPTDIR/samples/owd-hr -lm $0 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9

Can you start script from root/HR Application now? I would be pleased if you could test this quickly, and if this works I would fix this in our installer, being then available for download with the new upcoming OpenWorkdesk Community Edition 3.2.0.0 release?

I just tried your quick fix and am sorry to say it doesn't work, still get the error:
./install-owd-hr.sh: line 7: /root/HR: No such file or directory.

I can't send you the contents of the folder oat since it is empty (erased after the exception is thrown from the installer). I did however redirect the output from the installer to a log file which is attached to this message. It shows clearly all the steps performed.

First line in log looks strange and -p has no value specified for password.

Re: Cannot install HR Sample Application

stefan_sperling — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:23:39 GMT

Apparently the 3rd parameter is not transfered, I just tried inversing -u and -p and now the -u has no value.

I just checked bin/oa.sh file and I am not sure if this might cause problems, but between $3 and $4 there are two spaces. Could you try to remove one space here.

Re: Cannot install HR Sample Application

stefan_sperling — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:39:56 GMT

I removed the extra spaces and the results are the same, on a hunch I even tried adding the -cp parameter to set the port but also no luck

Could it be a path length problem? I have to excuse, but I am really no CentOS or even linux professional in general. Maybe you could try to run the installer from a simple and even shorter location.

Re: Cannot install HR Sample Application

stefan_sperling — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:55:03 GMT

I tried running it now from a short path (/home/stefan/HRApp) with the same result. I'll try some other things after the weekend and let you know the results.

And I will setup CentOS…

I really can´t tell what´s the problem here as I used exactly the same installer for testing it on Ubuntu and this worked fine. Linux seems not to equal Linux :?

I solved the problem temporarily by executing the java statement with the correct parameters. Now the HR Sample App is installed and works fine.
I noticed some weird things with the scripts and shall investigate a little further next week and report my findings here.

Would be great to have feedback from you. I will fix the problems you found then.

I did not come far yesterday, installed a CentOS 6 VM with Alfresco, but on my side the HR Sample Application installer was not able to restart the Alfresco Tomcat. I had to stop then because had other things to do

As you successfully completed installation, I will stop investigation now and wait for your feedback.
