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](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/](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) jammy main universe”

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

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
