[ome-users] - install on Red Hat Linux desktop - question on install of ICE 3.3.1

Ken,

Guess this is my lucky day - I just got the Linux version up and running, in addition to the copy of OMERO on my MacBook.

Turns out that there was a problem with the Postgres postmaster.pid file. Deleted it, did a hard reboot, restarted Postgres and the OMERO server, and everything now runs fine using ICE 3.3.1. I can get into the Insight and Importer clients, and I've been able to start the OMERO WEB server via ICE, and access the admin and user web pages, again being able to login to them OK.

So - I think I can start playing around with some images. Thanks for all the help.

 Ron

Can you attach the log files from your server's log directory and send them to us/me?  It would be a lot easier to debug this problem with them.

Thanks,
-Ken

Subject: RE: [ome-users] - install on Red Hat Linux desktop - question on install of ICE 3.3.1 - I appear to have regressed and now can't invoke the server

 
Hello Chris and other OMERO developers and users,

In addition to my attempt to install OMERO on my MacBook (described in a separate email sent earlier today), I am continuing to try to install OMERO on my Red Hat Linux desktop. I've been told to backtrack to using ICE 3.3.1, rather than the ver 3.4.0 that I had installed (see emails at bottom).

So - I just tried this. Unfortunately, I still need help.

Here's what happened:

1) using Ken Arcieri's instructions for doing an ICE 3.3.1 install (shown on pp 6-7 of his Mac OS install manual) as a template (those being the most detailed instructions that I could find), I deleted the 3.4.0 rel and reinstalled ICE using 3.3.1 into
   /sid/Omero/Ice/Ice-3.3.1
 on my Linux desktop, sidney.pnl.gov.

As best I as can determine from the "make" screen output, things went OK.

I changed my .mycshrc file to use 3.3.1 in four places:

I added /sid/Omero/Ice/Ice-3.3.1/bin to PATH I added /sid/Omero/Ice/Ice-3.3.1/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH I added /sid/Omero/Ice/Ice-3.3.1/python to PYTHONPATH I set ICE_HOME to /sid/Omero/Ice/Ice-3.3.1

I did not alter anything else in .mycshrc. 

I did not alter anything else in the Omero set of directories - that is, I only re-installed the Ice code. With one exception: I had to install an RPM that contained "db.jar" for the BerkeleyDB. Apparently the RPM that was installed previously on sidney for the basic BerkeleyDB package lacked the java parts. Don't know why this this lack did not produce errors the earlier Ice 3.4.0 install, but the previously missing "db.jar" is now in /usr/share/java/db.jar and the "make install" in the Ice subdir ./java appeared to run OK today.

I rebooted sidney.

I then tried to invoke the server:

sidney26% omero admin start
No descriptor given. Using etc/grid/default.xml
icegridnode: failure occurred in daemon
sidney27% 

So - something is going wrong, involving icegridnode. Any suggestions as to what to try?

Do I need to reinstall anything else now that I've changed the release of Ice? Is there something I need to add to CLASSPATH in my .mycshrc file? Do any of the *.jar files in the ../omero_dist/lib/server directory have to be manually added to the CLASSPATH?

One minor note: the versions of the jgoodies.forms and jgoodies.looks that I downloaded and used in the java part of the ICE install are
   forms-1.3.0.jar
   looks-2.3.1.jar

Those *.jar files are the files I named in 
   /sid/Omero/Ice_install/Ice-3.3.1/java/config/build_properties for the "make" run

As in the continuing saga of my Mac install, any help for this Linux install would be much appreciated.
Ron

Chris,

OK - I will backtrack to using the earlier version of ICE for my install under Linux.

There isn't a connection here but I don't think that really has much to do with your connectivity problems.

The server appears to have started up correctly so I don't see a problem there.

I plan to try that tomorrow, before leaving on a trip. However, if Josh and anybody else who has a moment could check the log files and see if the contents indicate that the problem is indeed the version of ICE used - or if the problem may be something else, I would very much appreciate it.

That's definitely the first place to start. ICE 3.4.0 is not going to work with the clients at all.
