Re: [Archive-access-discuss] error starting Wayback: "Error filterStart"

[Ko, L. <Lau...@un...>]

Hi Nicholas,
Since I didn't see any responses to you on the list, I will respond even though I don't have a solution. I tried your wayback-1.6.0 configuration below, and did not get that error. Though my environment isn't exactly the same:
Ubuntu 10.04
jdk1.6.0_07
apache-tomcat-6.0.35

Did you check to see if Wayback would run before you made the configuration changes? Was there anything else of interest in catalina.out before the filterStart error? I will say that though wayback-1.6.0 will launch for me, when running it in a non-Root context as you are, this version of Wayback hasn't worked well for me. Here are some messages about it http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27425763.

Subject: [Archive-access-discuss] error starting Wayback: "Error filterStart"

Hello archive-access-discussers, I installed Wayback based on minor
modifications to the instructions here:
https://webarchive.jira.com/wiki/display/wayback/Wayback+Installation+and+Configuration+Guide
but Tomcat reports "Error filterStart" when I try to start it. I'm
hoping it's a simple configuration error that someone more experienced
with Wayback and/or Tomcat could help me figure out.

Environment:
Ubuntu 9.10
Java 1.6.0_24-b07
Tomcat 6.0.20

Tomcat is running and I've been trying to start Wayback from the
Tomcat Manager. Wayback is installed in the "wayback-1.6.0" context.

I made the following edits to wayback.xml:

wayback.basedir=/home/sansforensics/wayback/indexes/
wayback.urlprefix=http://localhost:8080/wayback-1.6.0/

Changed the bean named "8080:wayback" to "8080:test"

Changed the four instances of "${wayback.urlprefix}/" in that bean to
"${wayback.urlprefix}test/"

I made the following changes to BDBcollection.xml:

In the bean with id "datadirs"
<property name="name" value="warcfiles" />
<property name="prefix" value="/home/sansforensics/wayback/warcs/" />

Both dirs:
/home/sansforensics/wayback/indexes/
/home/sansforensics/wayback/warcs/
exist, are empty, and have 777 permissions.

Here is sample output from a catalina.<datestamp>.log:
Jul 1, 2012 6:28:17 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
Jul 1, 2012 6:28:17 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/wayback-1.6.0] startup failed due to previous errors
Jul 1, 2012 6:28:21 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
Jul 1, 2012 6:28:21 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/wayback-1.6.0] startup failed due to previous errors

Any ideas?
