[GIS] How to can I run the OpenGeo Suite Community Edition under Apache Tomcat on Windows server 2003

boundless-suitetomcat

I have installed opengeo suite community edition on ubunutu 10.10 and it is working with apache tomcat and it all works great. So I decide to do the same on a Windows 2003 server at work.

Note: On the windows 2003 server machine I already have apache tomcat installed and working correctly on port 8080

So what I did was download the opengeo suite community edition for windows from opengeo.org and run the installer. I change the default port to 8081 and everything works fine! However it installs using a different web server (JBOSS?? or J something?), and this server only seems to operate when I am logged onto the the machine which is undesirable. For example I can't access geoexplorer from a remote machine unless I am also logged onto the server.

Has anyone got the openGeo suite community edition running with Tomcat? and how did you do it?

Thanks
Ando

OpenGeo products are released with Jetty webserver ( http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/ ). In your case, if you want to use tomcat, basically all web application modules in \webapps need to installed to tomcat webapps folder. I used to work with GeoServer as war file.

[GIS] Installation issue with OpenGeo-Suite

Smaran - here's how I managed to get this done. As jdeolive points out, this is unsupported, and I cannot vouch for how the heck I got this to work. I haven't done a ton of troubleshooting, so it's not really ready for primetime.

I'm making the assumption that you're trying to run the latest versions of various software, like Postgres & PostGIS, etc. Key note: just because you can get all of these packages to install happily together doesn't necessarily mean they've been tested or will work well together.

Steps

Install Postgres 9.1 & PostGIS 2.0 on this page: trac dot osgeo dot org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1204
Install the latest version of geonode following instructions at: geonode dot org
Follow the steps below to set up an equivs package for libgdal.
Add the opengeo repository info to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opengeo-suite

Equivs Setup

The lone dependency breaking opengeo-suite right now appears to be libgdal. Ubuntu and Debian have typically called this libgdal1, for whatever reason. So, you need to trick apt into thinking libgdal is already installed. You can do this using something called equivs.

# sudo apt-get install equivs
# equivs-control libgdal

then, edit the file 'libgdal' to look something like this: http://pastebin.com/bGUa5BiP

# sudo equivs-build libgdal
# sudo dpkg -i libgdal_1.9.1_amd64.deb

Like I mentioned... there are a few items I've skipped here, like adding java support for PostGIS and /usr/lib/gdal.jar, etc., but I think you may be able to figure those out. Please add what info you can here.

The Suite 3.0.2 Ubuntu Packages don't work with Ubuntu 13.04. Officially they are for Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 and they seem to work on 12.04 without trouble, but they break on 13.04.
