Turn off IIS, use only Tomcat on same server?

Currently, we have IIS 6.0 and Tomcat installed on the same web server. How do I disable IIS and go 100% Tomcat?

Hi,

I see you online and have a hunch that you can help me so I am hijacking your thread.
Please if you can help me I would be highly indebted.

I have a multiple server installation.

Number of Servers : 4

Number of CMS : 2

Application tier on 2 servers.

Web tier on 2 servers.

The problem is when i login my .NET infoview works fine but my Java infoview doesn’t.

I found the error that the CCM doesn’t have Tomcat Apache Server.
So my guess is thats the reason why the java infoview is not working.
I am attaching a screenshot of the CCM.

Please help how to add the Apache to the CCM.

Regards
Sid

Humm… I’d first try a modified re-installation of tomcat - either through the setup or as a direct download from java…

Thanks for the reply

i did not get you .

Is it you are referring to custom installation of BOxi3.1. The tomcat is running already on my webtiers. I just need to add or link them to my BOset up .


siddhr007 (BOB member since 2009-05-15)

Not sure on the multiple servers as I have not worked on that type of config, however, what has worked for me is to do the custom reinstallation (again) and that should add tomcat to the ccm - you can only add (that I’m aware of) an additonal or new SIA to the CCM, not a webapp.

My commandline for tomcat is “\server\C$\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\bin\tomcat5.exe” //RS//BOE120Tomcat

do you have this path?


MichaelB :us: (BOB member since 2008-11-19)

true we can only add SIA in the CCM and no webapps.
Regarding reinstallation my webtier just has BO the tomcat is not there.
So I am really confused as to how to go ahead. When I try to go for a modify installation option i am choosing this option.
screenshot attached
I will keep you posted on further developments.
Thanks again for helping me

if you want both - .NET (WACS) and Tomcat, I’d simply select “everything”. That way you can use whatever platform you want. It worked for me!

if you only select what you have in your screen shot, you will only have “whats in your screen shot”

Good Afternoon BOBUJ

Sorry for the late reply.
I used all the options and now I have everything but there is this new problem

Now I have to use both IIS and Tomcat . If I stop IIS then I am not able to login.

can you tell me how you set it up.

This may be a stupid question…but you are trying to access the tomcat server (usually port 8080 by default), rather than the IIS server/port (usually 80), after you’ve shut down IIS?

Hi Cashworth ,

Yeah the problem is half way solved. I added an extra line in the server .xml.

Now

http://bobdev..com:8080/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp is working fine for me
but when I type teh generic URL

http://bobdev..com it is redirecting me to the default Tomcat home page.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Sid

Hi ,

Just wanted to let you know. It is working now.
I created an idex.html file in the ROOT folder of tomcat with a tag

Your Page Title Optional page text here.

Then I restarted the tomcat and it is now working.
I also went ahead and changed the default port of IIS from 80 to 81 and conditioned the default website page in the IIS manager.

Thanks for all your help and responses.

Regards
Sid

Go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services then right click ‘World Wide Web Publishing’ selecting ‘stop’.

After stopping, right click on the service again then properties and set the startup type to manual.
