Hi,
New to this solution and the instructions on Ubuntu related to using tomcat apache server. However, I am running Apache2 instead of Tomcat on my linux box. Can this still work and where would I find instructions on the install process?
thank you,

Hi Nogi,
welcome to the forum.
Since reportserver is written in Java, you need a servlet container for running it. The most popular servlet container is Tomcat. You can also use another servlet container or even a full EE server. The easiest servlet container to configure is tomcat.
You can *additionally* use your apache httpd server, as in the bitnami installation, but still, you need tomcat.
For testing, you can download the bitnami installer from https://reportserver.net/en/download/
For production we recommend the manual installation, instructions for linux here: https://reportserver.net/en/tutorials/i … -practice/

ok thanks. I've been trying to get tomcat running on my VPS with no luck. It's not throwing any errors or creating a log file so not sure where to look.

@edulid, if I went down the route of a bitnami cloud install, can I still get data from a remote mySQL database?
I can see that the localhost syntax is jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/reportserver, i assume i replace localhost with the remove server IP address?

Hi nogi,
"with no luck"? What is not working?
Yes, first you have to get tomcat to work, then you can install reportserver easily. Take note that guide here: https://reportserver.net/en/tutorials/i … -practice/ shows the best practices to install reportserver in a production environment.
For testing, you don't have to do all this configuration. You can execute these steps:
1. Install tomcat to work first
2. put your reportserver files in the webapps directory of tomcat
3. initiate your database with the provided .sql scripts in the ddl directory
4. configure your persistence.properties file,
and that's it , you can start reportserver. It is quite easy to install.

I am assuming TomCat as it isn't outputting a log anywhere. I have followed the instructions you outlined.

You can of course use a remote mySQL database. You have to change localhost with the ip of your remote database.

Thanks, using the templated install from bitnami and remote call to the database might be easier/quicker for me.

First you need to get tomcat to work. You can install it using all default settings. As I said, the best-practice guide is for production servers, for testing you can install tomcat out-of-the-box, make sure it works, e.g. by calling http://localhost:8080 and seeing if the default page shows up, and then installing reportserver by copying it to the webapps directory.

Yes, try the bitnami installer. You can always change the DB being used by editing the persistence.properties file.

Ok, it was a single line in the config that was pointing to the wrong version of JAVA that was causing the issue. 8-/
I noticed this line in the log, is it anything I need to worry about?

Hi nogi,
I will take a look if this is an issue. I created RS-2872 for this.
Does reportserver start correctly? Can you create/view reports?
Regards,
Eduardo
Offline
Yes everything else loads fine. No need to create the report as I am about to spin up a new instance based on the bitnami images.

RS-2872 will be fixed in the next patch 6003.
