Tomcat/TomEE: TomEE GUI page 404 error


I recently installed "apache-tomee-webprofile-1.7.2" on to a "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (6.6).

I am able to access the Tomcat home page by accessing x.x.x.x:8080 and via this, I am able to access the "Server Status", "Manager App" and "Host Manager" pages. However, when I go to access the "TomEE GUI" page, I receive an "Error 404: description The requested resource is not available." page.

From what I can see Tomee is running as when I access the "Manage App" page, "/tomee" is there and it's running state is true.

I'm new to TomEE so there may be a step which I have missed/completed incorrectly. So any help on how I can get this working would be great.

I'm not sure what code is relevant to this issue, so please tell me what configuration would be helpful and I'll post it.


Solution

  • In TomEE 1.7.2 the webapps/tomee folder is missing, this is why 404 error occurs. I don't know if it is a bug or it is intentional. (In 1.7.1 webapps/tomee folder is still there.)

    But it is actually not so important. This page only says that "Your server is fully installed". I think that it is useful only when you install a drop-in WAR TomEE in a Tomcat and so you can check if it is installed successfully.

    But when you download and use a native TomEE this check does not count.

    Just deploy your applicaton and enjoy it!

    (However if you still want TomEE GUI, download version 1.7.1 and copy the tomee folder in the webapps folder into the webapps folder of 1.7.2.)
