Hello together,

I tried to install Report Server on Ubuntu 24.04.1 (WSL) based on the instruction from the following website:

https://reportserver.net/de/dokumentation/tutorials/articles/installing-reportserver-on-ubuntu

I found the following issues:

  • tomcat9 is not default for Ubuntu 24.04.1,
    you have to add the correspondig repositoy via
    add-apt-repository -y -s “deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main universe”

  • the cp command for the following files is not correct:

    persistence.properties.example
    reportserver.properties
    logging-rs.properties

correct command (ROOT was missing):

cp /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/persistence.properties.example /opt/reportserver/persistence.properties
cp /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/reportserver.properties /opt/reportserver/reportserver.properties
cp /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/logging-rs.properties /opt/reportserver/logging-rs.properties
