I have successfully configured these services before with prior version of 
IBM's CLM.  The difference in those previous versions was that Tomcat came 
bundled with t heir product.  For this latest IBM version, Tomcat was not 
bundled and they provided instructions for downloading it from Apache and 
instructions for where to install it.

I have escalated the issue with IBM's support and since they are providing the JVM, it is 
probably their issue but wanted to put it out to the larger community to see if anyone 
has ever had this issue before.  A user on the user forums said that the memory error in 
the Tomcat log file is a red herring and that it is giving that memory allocation error 
because the JVM didn't actually start.  So, the issue seems more connected to the error 
in the Windows Event viewer ("cannot open file").


Hi, Becky-

Have you tried the Tomcat Windows Service Installer available on the download 
page (http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi)?  In my experience, it makes it 
much easier to get Tomcat up and running as a Windows service.  In addition, a 
configuration app is included which further simplifies the process.

With your current setup, I'd start by checking the Log On settings of the 
service and the permissions of the Tomcat files and folders.

This is straight forward java programming that you should be able to 
handle yourself.  It could be done in one line, though I personally 
wouldn't do it that way.

Re: Tomcat - Multiple sites and SSL

[Olaf Kock]

Please clarify your intent:

By default, tomcat has a /commented/ connector on 8443, which you can
configure You can activate as many connectors on as many ports
as you like. But if you have all applications on the same application
server anyways (and are using the same hostnames): Why bother?

This could be a question about SNI (Server Name Indication) to have
multiple domain names on a single IP (but you're mentioning only one
domain name).
This could also be a question about how to map tomcat's ports to 80 or,
in your case more likely 443.
Or it could be a question on how to set up https in general. Why do you
want to listen on several ports? Wouldn't you - in the end - want them
all to come in through https on the standard port?

Re: Tomcat - Multiple sites and SSL

[Ari Luoma]

Hi,

Try following. I can't guarantee it works with Jira and Confluence but this
could work.

Set up the cert in Apache and create AJP proxies between Apache and Tomcats
(if running one Tomcat for jira and one for confluence). I have similar
setup with other applications.

Tomcat - Multiple sites and SSL

[Jeff Jennings]

I will have two applications running on my tomcat server

Jira on port 8080 and confluence on port 8090

I'm going to get an ssl cert for the server which I'll call something like
test.mysite.com

Once I get my ssl cert for test.mysite.com how do I go about setting up the
configuration file for tomcat so that both sites can share the cert.

I've been using regular apache for years and know how to do it with virtual
hosts in httpd.conf and ssl.conf but tomcat is new to me.

any pointers would be appreciated.

I'm thinking I'd like to map 8080 to something like test.mysite.com/jira
and 8090 to test.mysite.com/confluence

but I'm open to all ideas.

I see tomcat want to use port 8443 for ssl

I have read this page:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html but am unsure how
to handle multiple apps on the same server that listen on different ports.

thanks

jeff

Although you can't use multiple Atlassian products in a single Tomcat
instance (boo!), the configuration would have been easy:

Just configure the same certificate on the connectors for both ports.
In fact, there's no reason to use separate ports for each application:
you can use a single connector with separately-named web applications
(e.g. /jira versus /other-product) or virtual hosting if both of them
must run as ROOT application (again, boo!).

Thanks - I understand your questionw. but unfortunately based on further
investigation I've discovered that I cannot run both of my apps on the same
server.

I don't have a test-case in front of my, but I'm fairly confident that
Tomcat allows file uploads of greater than 2GiB. I suspect the problem
is another component.

Are you using Servlet 3.0-based file upload, or are you allowing
Struts to handle the file-upload for you? If you use Servlet-3.0
file-upload, then you'll have code that deals with Multipart classes
and configuration in web.xml. If you are using Struts's file-upload,
then you'll mostly just be calling getFile or getInputStream or
however Struts 2 does things (I can't remember how it all works off
the top of my head).

The point is, if you are using Struts, then Tomcat will not touch the
request and Struts is handling the whole thing. If Struts is the
problem, you'll need to talk to the Struts team[1].

If you are using Servlet-3.0 file-upload, then Struts is just a red
herring and this is the right place to get your issue solved.

So far, you have posted some configuration for Struts and some JSP
tablib-filled code, plus some Java code for a Filter. You didn't say
where the Filter was in the filter chain (before or after Struts
filter).  You also mentioned that the form is actually posted using
XMLHttpRequest and not through a standard form, but you didn't explain
what component is doing that or how it actually works.

There isn't enough information here to make any sense of the
situation. Can you please address all of the questions I've posed
above and maybe we can then help you?

Are you sure the request is even made to the server in these cases?
What if the Javascript upload component is failing before it even starts
?
