Web Management Console Installation Issue

[radw]

Good Evening NetXMS Support Team, I kindly ask your advice or support regarding the described issue.

Im installing NetXMS in a Debian8 system following the installation guide (https://www.netxms.org/documentation/adminguide/installation.html#installing-on-debian-or-ubuntu), however, when I want to install the Web Management Console with Tomcat7 (using the  nxmc-2.0.3.war in the folder /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps, I get in my web browser "HTTP 404 - /nxmc" error when I type "ip:8080/nxmc".

However, if i only type "ip:8080" I get the tomcat message "It works !"

Regards.

Try "ip:8080/nxmc-2.0.3/" or rename nxmc-2.0.3.war to nxmc.war
The rename option is probably preferred, to keep URL consistent when upgrading to newer releases.

I tried both options and neither worked.

Also, I was reading this thread relating the tomcat configuration (https://www.netxms.org/forum/installation/problems-with-centos-and-tomcat-web-server-install/), but neither the tomcat give me access to the manager , even configuring the /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml file in different ways that I foound in message boards across google. (This is my last /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml file configuration):

<tomcat-users>

<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="password" roles="admin-gui"/>

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="password" roles="manager-gui"/>

</tomcat-users>

 I just found my error, in the line 18 of /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml, there was the field  <tomcat-users> already declared between two commentaries. I didnt see it and i wrote the  <tomcat-users> </tomcat-users> at the end of the file.

I changed the nxmc-2.0.3.war to nxmc.war and I deployed it via the the http://IP-ADD:8080/manager. The GUI appear in http://IP-ADD:8080/nxmc/nxmc. In this moment is giving "connecting refusing", but Im going to search what's happening.

I also found why was giving me "connection refused" because the message given by apt-get install "NetXMS server is installed but currently stopped". I needed to follow those steps:

1. Edit default configuration file (/etc/netxmsd.conf): In my case , I use MySQL

2. Load database schema (replace DBTYPE with proper name), and the db configuration guide (https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Server_Installation_Guide)

      MySQL:
        nxdbmgr init /usr/share/netxms/sql/dbinit_mysql.sql

3. Restart  netxmsd service : With /etc/init.d/netxmsd restart (I dont know why in Debian service netxmsd restart didnt work)

Regards.

I renamed the .war-file to 'ROOT.war', so I reach the web-interface under 'https://servername' without '/nxmc'

Hello, yesterday I also tried it but didnt work. However thanks for the advice

[user54119]

If there is a default 'ROOT' directory in the webapp directory, delete this one before you rename the .war-file to 'ROOT.war' ('ROOT' in capital letters).

Maybe you find further info in this stackoverflow thread:

sorry I dont' know much more about that, I'm not a Tomcat guy.
