Hi John, Not sure if you figured this out yet or not, but the OpenBD admin is on the same port as Tomcat. The actual port that Tomcat uses doesn't really matter as long as it run. The Tomcat admin will be at http://localhost:8080/index.jsp and the OpenBD admin will be at http://localhost:8080/bluedragon/administrator.
As for the "Unknown error executing action", I decided to try the same thing you did and uninstall it from the VM. After uninstalling and reinstalling, I got an error, but mine was just that it couldn't start the service. I then uninstalled it again and restarted the VM. When I ran it this time, it worked just fine. Why don't you try that and let's see what happens. As for "Access is denied. Unable to open the service 'OpenBD'", this is due to UAC in Windows 7/Vista. I ran into the same thing on my VM. You can edit the shortcut and have it run as Administrator under the Compatablility tab and that will fix this issue. **Jordan: *Is there a way that we can have this set by default? Would that be possible/practical?* Jordan will need to fix the issue with the Tomcat Service Monitor. :) Also Jordan, I did figure out my problem on my laptop. I think that it is a two fold issue. 1) I had environment variables already for CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME. I'm thinking that they were causing part of the problem. 2) When I tried to run the service.bat script from the command prompt, It was failing saying that it couldn't find Tomcat7.exe. After looking at the script, I realized that I was running from another directory then the tomcat/bin folder. Once I ran it from this folder, it worked just fine. I noticed that the JRE_HOME variable is hardcoded into the service.bat file. What about having the installer hardcode the CATALINA_HOME and the JDK_HOME variable as well, based on where they chose to install OpenBD? Maybe just completely modifying the this script file or making another that is a little more precise to what the installer is doing?? Thanks for this great tool!
