[GeoNetwork-users] Osgeo live - Geonetwork install issues

I have a machine running OSGEOLIVE 6

Geoserver and most packages work without any issues but I can't get Geonetwork to run.

The ApplicationsGeoserversGeonetworkStart seems to work fine but then I get an unable to connect on localhost:8880/geonetworks/srv/en/main.home

The Geoserver is on localhost:8082 and I can login to it but can not get to the geonetwork home page.

Osgeo seems to have also installed tomcat in localhost8080 -i don't need this.

I tried the following as well

Install Geonetwork2.8 beta (same issue with login to the home page). When I try sh start-geonetwork.sh I get a rm/mv error (see http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/50093/osgeo-live-geonetwork-install-issues)

Install 2.4 using git clone instructions from geonetwork-opensource.org/download.html but I can't run the final command. See above link.

From this forum I tried the suggestions in http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=CAGt6bQ6PCZbO%3Ds4Y1Z4GGQY6GN0hXRXZ89LQBUC%2BUWqNWabFeQ%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=geonetwork-users to try the process in http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToRunUnderTomcat . I got stuck at editing the xml files in Catalina -the geonetwork etc .xml files are not in the folder. I only see hostmanager.xml, manager.xml, petascope.xml, ROOT.xml and wss.xml

Any ideas? I just want to open geoserver and geonetwork (also postgis)

George,

Try stopping tomcat before using geonetwork:
sudo service tomcat6 stop
Depending on how much ram you have this could be the issue.

On OSGeo-Live, Geonetwork is installed with Jetty on 8880. I believe we
verified that Geonetwork was working before shipping. I have just tested
and it is working on OSGeoLive 6.5 beta2 (new release should be ready in
a week or two).

Geoserver is installed under it's own jetty on 8082. This geoserver
install is unrelated to geonetwork.

Tomcat is on it's default port of 8080 and is used by several other java
apps.

The reason all of these are on different ports/java servers is so that
you don't end up running them all at the same time which would cripple a
live-dvd, usb or low powered virtual machine.

If the goal is to get this working on OSGeo-Live I invite you to join
our mailing list http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/live-demo
You may have found a bug that we can fix.

Thanks,

Hi George

Not familiar to the OSGEOLIVE 6, can't help too much about this. But at
least, what I see when you try to build GeoNetwork from sources from your
post in
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/50093/osgeo-live-geonetwork-install-issues,
is that your system complains about not having
maven installed and you should execute this command to install it:

$ sudo apt-get install maven2

but seem you're issuing this command instead:

$ sudo apt-get install

The method described in http://geonetwork-opensource.org/downloads.html allows
to build GeoNetwork from source code, getting master version that is quite
different from next 2.8.x version that should be released next monday.

Previous method I think is only is interesting if you're going to develop
in GeoNetwork. Otherwise, I would suggest instead to *try a nightly
build*either of 2.8.x (
http://nightlybuild.geonetwork-opensource.org/28branch/) or master if
you're interested in this version (
http://nightlybuild.geonetwork-opensource.org/trunk/). Nightly builds are
available in 2 formats: war file and installer. If you're running Ubuntu
without UI probably more interested in war file.

Regards,
Jose García
