Problem to install Stash 1.3.0

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I'm running on Tomcat6, JRE6, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have problems with installing stash 1.3.0, I got the following error when I go to the page http://37.59.59.205:8080/stash/unavailable :

A fatal error has occurred

The following problem occurred which prevents Atlassian Stash from starting correctly:

The Spring WebApplicationContext could not be started

(cf. log)

Thanks for your help :)

Huy,

As discussed on your support.atlassian.com ticket, this is caused by having Log4J in the classpath for Stash. Stash uses Logback and SLF4J, and it uses log4j-over-slf4j to support frameworks which have coded explicitly to Log4J's API. Because it uses log4j-over-slf4j, Log4J itself must not be in the classpath.

If you are deploying Stash into a Tomcat which is hosting Confluence or JIRA (or any other Atlassian webapp), you must separate it. The Tomcats for those webapps include Log4J in their lib/ directories, as they have not converted to Logback, and will cause the Stash webapp to fail.

Hope this helps!

That stinks! I just encountered this problem and came across this post (I guess this explains the stack overflow error in catalina.out that gets thrown for the two jar files: log4j and slf4j). I think it is bizarre that the Atlassian suite of products does not share code base for stuff like logging, and thus make their products not play nicely together. I REALLY want to run everything in the same Tomcat stack for ease of management, but alas...

I am running stash on its own Centos 6.3. Should I remove Log4j completely? How do I remove it from the classpath?
