Hi all,
I’m having trouble working out how to see any useful pages in the pentaho webapp. Basically if I go to http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/pentaho I can log in as one of the demo users, then a blank page loads with the (window) title “Pentaho BI Platform”. Subsequent request to this URL take me straight to the blank page. Page source:
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html >
<head>
<title>Pentaho BI Platform</title>
<meta http-equiv=“refresh” content=“0;URL=/pentaho”>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If I point my browser at port 80 on the appliance, i see the ICE32 appliance welcome page ok, and http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/pentaho/welcome/welcome.html works just fine (but the JS links don’t work), and http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8099 gives me the pentaho management console, which seem to work fine. These suggest tomcat is up and running ok.
Set up: clean appliance (downloaded today) with the following changes only (as in README):
Updated web.xml/base-url with my appliance’s IP
Updated /etc/hosts with my appliance’s IP
sudo /etc/init.d/pentaho stop
sudo /etc/init.d/pentaho start
I’ve not done anything with shared folders, as I saw the message “initial install is using small internal local disk;
for larger data sets, you need to use shared/data and shared/cache…” and thought i’d get things working first without worrying about big data sets. Should this be a problem?
I’ve checked the logs in /usr/local/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/logs, but not much shows up other than the fact the server has started.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Ben
