OMERO.web server

[Lipplab]

Hi everybody,
when screening the forum and regarding the installation of OMERO via homebrew on MAC OS X it seems the web deployment is not a "standard" for macintosh based systems (the latest posts are three years old and the web deployment on mac has two lines of code for a development server). Has anybody here have some experience with that, especially with OME5 web deployment on a Mavericks (OSX 10.9) system? Nevertheless this is just one part of my question. The other part concerns the possibility to host the web service on a windows machine while the omero sever itself is situated on a mac. Can this be realised, is this just a theoretical possibility or is this impossible.

Best regards and thanks for your answers.

Hi Benjamin

The instructions for setting up OMERO.web are the same for OS X and Linux, see:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... l-web.html

It's possible to run OMERO on one server and OMERO.web on another including Windows, see:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... stallation
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... l-web.html

Note we don't generally test OMERO.web on Windows, so if you can suggest any improvements to our documentation we'd be grateful for them.

Best wishes

Thanks for your reply Simon,
I'll have a look into it. If I run into some problems which I cannot solve myself, I'll post another reply.

Best regards

Hi,
so i followed the Windows steps to get the web deployment running in Windows. The problem is when i do
>>omero web iis
it says
<<0 static files copied, 818 unmodified.
<<Configured virtual directory: /omero
<<Configured virtual directory: /static
<<Installation complete.
but if then i add
>>omero web status
i get
<<OMERO.web status... NOT STARTED
Development Server starts and does connect to omero.server, even to the omero.server hosted on a diffrent machine. The clients do connect. Nevertheless when I try to load the website I just get HTTP error 500. The web.log does show any to me obvious error.

Best regards

Hi Benjamin,
I'm at a similar point in the IIS OMERO.web deployment. What happens when you execute the code

Code: Select all

bin\omero web start

?

Hi Kyle,
the server asks me wether I really want to do this and that i should not be using omero web start on windows.
Then some errors from omero.util.TempFileManager concerning tmp file in the local user directories.

OK, then we are having the same issue then at the exact same place in the OMERO.web deployment. I also get the Error 500-Internal server error when I try to access OMERO.web from a browser.

I'm not sure if the omero web start command is required on IIS, but I also get a similar output when I run that command. See my previous post: http://www.openmicroscopy.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7486

Let me know if you find out anything!

Ok to add some more detail,
the fast-cgi-tcp server with iis tells me there is a problem with _omero_web_iis.dll but does not specify this.
Any idea?

At Kyle,
I saw your thread but somehow I was not able to make this connection we had the same error. Sorry

Best
Benjamin

EDIT: So the Error displayed 800700c1 would tell in windows that the application is not a valid win32 application. Since I'm running everything in win7 64Bit and enabled the 32Bit support I do not get the message.

EDIT2 I disabled 32 Bit support now website is hosted but i cannot login
EDIT3 I removed the omero.web.session_engine now it works.

[kmdouglass]

Hi Benjamin,
I also disabled 32 bit support. Specifically, I went to Start -> Administrator Tools -> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. I clicked my server in the left-hand pane, then selected "Application Pools" beneath it. I right-clicked DefaultAppPool and selected "Advanced Settings..." from the menu. In the new menu, I disabled the 32 bit support.

As a result, I can see the OMERO.web login page now as well. I can log in via the web interface as 'root' or as a user I created.

It's really strange, but thanks for finding a solution!

Dear all,

I just updated our omero web server (win7 64 bit) from 5.0.2 to 5.1.4.
I enabled the 32 bit application in IIS and I did all the steps from here:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... #using-iis
and here:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... l-web.html
http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/supp ... grade.html

I tried to get the web server started but i still give some error message.
So, i don't have any clue how to get the web server running again.
