Hi, Nason, here is the init script I use for running a binary install of Tomcat
7 on RHEL [1] Note that it gets progressively more aggressive when shutting
down Tomcat. This script is a "mash-up" of a few sample Tomcat init scripts I
found online, citations are given in the code.

Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace 3.1 to 4.2 upgrade: XMLUI webapp not running
and can not be started
Hi Hardy,
I will be trying it out again tomorrow afresh after restoring the system to
before the attempted upgrade. I am using a script I created in /etc/init.d for
starting/stopping Tomcat. I will also try Shaun Donovan's information which he
sent directly to me and shown below. I will update you how it on progress.
Thanks again for the help.
Best
Nason
I had this problem, not on xmlui but on oai. I found the following on the web
and tried it, and it worked.
Check Inside the Following Directory for the jar file el-api.jar
:C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.39\lib\el-api.jar if it exists then in this
directory of your web application WEB-INF\lib\el-api.jar the jar
should be removed
What I did is find the file, and moved it, then the app started without issues.
This was on a development machine. I then tried it on the production machine
and my oai would still not start. I had other issues in my catalina.out which
pointed to the web.xml file in tomcats conf directory which had <!-- comments
within a comment, which I also removed, and then production worked as well.

Hi, Nason, did you ever configure Tomcat to run as the DSpace user? What are
you using for a service init script?

Hi,
I am still having the same problem. I have made sure dspace is the owner of all
files and I am also using dspace user to build the DSpace. I am running Debian
Wheezy.
This is how Tomcat was installed
=========================
- downloaded, copied Tomact 7 files into /usr/local, created a symbolic link
mv /home/dspace/Downloads/apache-tomcat-7.0.54 /usr/local
unlink tomcat
ln -s apache-tomcat-7.0.54 tomcat
- made sure that tomcat folder is owned by the dspace user
cd /usr/local
chown -R dspace:dspace apache-tomcat-7.0.54
- restarted tomcat
/etc/init.d/tomcat restart
- checked if tomcat is running and is running ok
http://localhost:8080
This the change I made to the top level POM as advised by Bram by adding scope
tag
===============================================================
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artfactId>servlet-api</artfactID>
<version>2.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Regards
Nason

Peter is right, you can ignore the info line. You probably have a permission
issue. How did you install and start Tomcat? What OS are you using?

Hmm, I don't know what's wrong in this case. Check your logs further back for a
line that starts with ERROR, the INFO line might not be too much to worry about.
When you built the DSpace 4 code, I would try mvn -U clean package.
Also, double check that your tomcat/dspace user is the owner of all the files.

Hello,
I have upgraded the dspace from 3.1 to 4.2 but when I try to access XMLUI
webapp I get a 404. Checking the Tomcat manager shows that xmlui webapp is not
running but the rest are, that is oai and solr. When I try to start the webapp
in Tomcat manager I get a FAIL error (FAIL - Application at contect path /xmlui
could not be started).
The dspace logs to not show any errors but the catalina out shows the
following...
Aug 29, 2014 2:16:01 PM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader
validateJarFile
INFO:
validateJarFile(/usr/local/dspace/webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/lib/jsp-api-2.1.jar) -
jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 3.0, section 10.7.2. Offending class:
javax/el/Expression.class
Aug 29, 2014 2:16:12 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Aug 29, 2014 2:16:12 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
SEVERE: Context [/xmlui] startup failed due to previous errors
The platform I am using has: -
OS: Debian Wheezy
Java: 1.7.0_65 (OpenJDK)
Tomcat: 7.0.54
Maven: 3.2.1
Has anyone encountered this problem or does anyone know a solution or where I
am going wrong?
Thanks
Nason
