Running Deskera Applications
It requires the Java Standard Edition Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6.0 or later.
Running With JRE 6.0 Or Later
|
| 1 |
Download and Install the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)
|
1.1 |
Download the Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE), |
|
release version 6.0 or later, from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
|
| 1.2 |
Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the release. |
|
You may also use the full JDK rather than just the JRE. In this case set you have to configure your environment variables
differently - see below.
|
| 2 |
Configure Environment Variables
|
|
Tomcat itself is a Java application and does not use environment variables, but the startup scripts use them to prepare the command that starts Tomcat. The full list of supported environment variables is provided as a comment at the top of catalina.sh (Unix) files.
|
| 2.1 |
CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE |
|
The CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE environment variables are used to specify location of Tomcat itself and of its active configuration respectively.
The CATALINA_HOME environment variable should be set as defined in (2.2) above. The startup scripts have some logic to set this variable automatically if it is absent (based on the location of the script in Unixes), but it might be not perfect.
The CATALINA_BASE environment variable is optional and is further described in "Multiple Tomcat Instances" section below. If it is not set it defaults to be equal to CATALINA_HOME.
|
| 2.2 |
JRE_HOME and other variables |
|
The third and the last environment variable that is needed to start Tomcat specifies location of JRE or JDK that should be used to start Tomcat.
There are two different names of this variable, depending on whether JRE or JDK is used. Use the JRE_HOME variable to specify location of a JRE and JAVA_HOME variable to specify location of a JDK.
All variables except CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE can be configured in a setenv.sh (Unix) file. The setenv file can be either in CATALINA_BASE/bin or in CATALINA_HOME/bin. If both are present, only the one in CATALINA_BASE is used.
So, either set JRE_HOME variable by yourselves or create the file. For example,
On Unix, $CATALINA_BASE/bin/setenv.sh:
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/latest

Start Up Server
|
3.1 |
Server can be started by executing one of the following commands:
|
|
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh (Unix)
|
3.2 |
After startup, Deskera HRMS will be available by visiting:
|
|
http://localhost:7070/hrms/a/hrms/login.html
You can use the following credentials to login
username: admin
password: welcome
|
| 4 |
Shut Down Server
|
4.1 |
Server can be shut down by executing one of the following commands:
|
|
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh (Unix)
|
|
| Troubleshooting |
There are only really 3 things likely to go wrong during the stand-alone install:
|
| 1 |
The most common hiccup is when another web server (or any process for that matter) has laid claim to port 7070. This is the default HTTP port that Tomcat attempts to bind to at startup. To change this, open the file:
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml
and search for '7070'. Change it to a port that isn't in use, and is greater than 1024, as ports less than or equal to 1024 require superuser access to bind under UNIX.
Restart server and you're in business. Be sure that you replace the "7070" in the URL you're using to access the server. For example, if you change the port to 1977, you would request the URL http://localhost:1977/ in your browser.

The 'localhost' machine isn't found. This could happen if you're behind a proxy. If that's the case, make sure the proxy configuration for your browser knows that you shouldn't be going through the proxy to access the "localhost".
In Firefox, this is under Tools/Preferences -> Advanced/Network -> Connection -> Settings..., and in Internet Explorer it is Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings.
