Starting JasperServer: This script requires root privileges


This is my second day with both tomcat and Jasperspft. so far I have installed and configured tomcat and it has started. But, i am unable to start JasperReports Server.

from this directory:

/opt/tibco/jasperreports-server-cp-6.2.0/scripts/linux

I run command

sudo ./jasperserver start

Then I get the error:

Starting JasperServer This script requires root privileges

And from:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html

I get 3 applications:

/

host-manager

manager

When I first installed everyting I used to get a forth application JasperServer but does not starte then I decided to undeploy it to deploy it again but unfortunately it desappeared.

then I downloaded jasperreports-server-cp-6.2.0-bin.zip and extracted the WAR file from it called jasperserver.war. Then when I try to choose the file and deploy it from http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html then browser goes to empty page

This webpage is not available

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

Then when I look to the file manager.2015-12-06.log it says the following:

I noticed the file upload size limit but the xml file configurations I found are all set to -1, which is unlimited. one more thing, I changed jasper configuration to chnage posgresql port number to the default 5432 as I alreadjy had it installed. I did not want to use the one that comes with tomcat.

Please help me start the JasperReports Server (jasperserver?)

Solution

  • Don't go into scripts/linux folder. Just go into your installation location. In your case /opt/tibco/jasperreports-server-cp-6.2.0.

    Then run

    sh ./ctlscript.sh start

    on the terminal. You will need root privileges for this.
