Install problem

ReportServer (EN)
1

Hello! First of all.. Great job you did! Congrats!

I’m having some trouble installing ReportServer version 2.0 (on Tomcat).

I know I must ignore that info about “jar not loaded”, but I have some other issues

Any help could be appreciated

See logs bellow:

Hi afteixeira,

there is most probably more information to be found in one of the other log files (my tip would be localhost-xx.log). If you post
the content of the other tomcat logs I’ll have a go at it.

Hi Arno!

You’re right! There are more logs!

It looks like I must install that Java extension.. But if I don’t want to install that how can I disable the encryption?

By the way.. Thanks for reply so fast! :slight_smile:

Hi afteixeira,
you are right, the problem is caused by the missing JCE policy files.

If you don’t want to install them you can set the propery

rs.crypto.pbe.keylength = 128

instead. It is defined in the file reportserver.properties (in the WEB-INF/classes subdirectory)

Cheers,
Thorsten

Great! I’m able to start RS now!

One last question…

Can I safety ignore this:

Very much thanks!

Cheers

Hi Alex,

the sandbox is a feature that mitigates problems that can occur when running code that was submitted by users. This is especially important, when considering that Jasper or Birt Reports are in essence executable code and can, thus, easily be abused to execute arbitrary code on your server. The sandbox allows you to define a safe environment in which you can control what executed code can or cannot do.

Configuring the sandbox for your specific needs is not exactly straightforward. We are going to elaborate on this in a blog post, soon.

As long as you are not in a situation where you have to execute reports provided by a third party, I’d say you are fine with the sandbox being disabled. Birt iServer and JasperReports Server, for example, don’t even have a concept like the sandbox.

If you think the sandbox might be useful in your environment, we will gladly help you to get it up and running.

Cheers,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten!

Thanks for explanation

At this moment it isn’t needed so I will not take your time for something I’m not going to use soon! I can wait till that blog post be done!

Once more I’d like to thank you for your help.

And again I must say very good job on RS

Best regards

Alex
