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

[Nicholas T. <ta...@gm...>]

Hi Lauren, thanks for the suggestions. I had checked to see whether 
Wayback would run before I modified the configuration (didn't make any 
difference), and the catalina.<datestamp>.log didn't provide any more 
descriptive information before the "Error filterStart" entry.

I tried a few other strategies but was still unable to get it to work:

1) Set wayback.basedir=/home/sansforensics/wayback/indexes (removed the 
trailing slash since the places where the variable is used elsewhere 
didn't expect there to be one). Didn't make any difference.

2) Installed Brad's updated Wayback 1.6.1 to a non-ROOT context and 
tried running it without modifying the configuration. Tomcat Manager 
still says the application failed to start and the 
catalina.<datestamp>.log reports "Error filterStart".

3) Updated Wayback 1.6.1 with the configuration I laid out in my 
previous e-mail. Same errors.

4) Installed Wayback 1.6.1 to the ROOT context and tried to get it to 
run both with and without having modified the configuration. Same errors.

At this point, all I can think of to do is to upgrade Tomcat 6 to a more 
recent version or just try running Wayback on Windows via Cygwin. I 
still feel like I must be missing something simple and fundamental, but 
I'm perplexed as to what it could be.
