Stash Tomcat not running on 7990

[Philip Smith]

Hello,

I am attempting to run an evaluation version of Stash 3.5.1 on a Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS VM.  I have followed the installation instructions as per https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/STASH0212/Installing+Stash+on+Linux+and+Mac, after amending the <stash_install_dir>/bin/setenv.sh file to point to the stash_home dir that I have created and then running $ sudo bin/start-stash.sh I get the encouraging output:

Tomcat started.

Success! You can now use Stash at the following address:

http://localhost:7990/

However, nothing seems to be listening on port 7990 and I cannot access Stash.  Running $ netstat -a also confirms that nothing is listening on that port.  What have I missed?

Thanks.

Just to close this off:

I deleted the files I had extracted from the tarball distribution of Stash and took the latest linux installer atlassian-stash-3.6.0-x64.bin and started again. 

I also uninstalled the OpenJDK that I was using (path of least resistance) and replaced it with the Oracle JDK 7.71.

Stash is running just fine now following use of the installer rather than the version I unpacked and attempted to configure myself.

Thanks for the tip David.  I have looked in the \logs directory and the only line of interest that I can see is in catalina.out:

12-Jan-2015 12:57:59.193 WARNING [main] org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory.validateFile Problem with directory [/home/ubuntu/stash_home/lib], exists: [false], isDirectory: [false], canRead: [false]

/home/ubuntu/stash_home is a directory I created when I extracted the tar.gz.  I extracted atlassian-stash-3.5.1 into /home/ubuntu/stash_install from wherein I ran start-stash.sh after updating the setenv.sh pointing the stash_home variable to /home/ubuntu/stash_home

There is nothing yet in that home directory.  Is that what was expected?

Hi Phillip,
Try checking the Stash logs to see if anything interesting comes up after the start. These logs should be in

<Stash installation directory>\logs

by default.
