Unable to install Omero Server

[Vamsree]

Hi,

I am trying to install omero server on my Windows XP machine using the steps in windows installation guide(omera-beta4.1.1) but ended up getting an error

C:\omero_dist> bin\omero admin start
No descriptor given. Using etc\grid\windefault.xml
[SC] StartService FAILED 2:

The system cannot find the file specified.


Waiting on startup. Use CTRL-C to exit
.............................Failed to startup after 5 minutes

I was successful in executing the steps till initializing the database in psql Shell script and the next step gives me an error as mentioned above.

Can anyone help me how to resolve this . I am adding the URL I followed for omero web servers installation for reference.

Hi Vamsree,

Could you give us the output of bin\omero admin diagnostics? You can read more about it here:

I have the same problem. As you can see on the first picture my server failed to starup after 5 minutes.
My server diagnostics are on the second picture.
The difference are
1) there isn´t a path for the java -version. I have jdk installed, but how can I change the path, so that it is registred?
2) The psql version is not found. I don´t know why.
3) the blitz-O etc don´t work.
How can I fix it?
Thank you for your help

1) there isn´t a path for the java -version. I have jdk installed, but how can I change the path, so that it is registred?

The fact that the version is detected probably means that it will work fine.

2) The psql version is not found. I don´t know why.

This is due to the PostgreSQL\8.3\bin directory not being on your path. When you execute the "psql console" command from the "Start" mention, it gets set for you. Nothing to worry about.

3) the blitz-O etc don´t work.

That's the major problem. Can you perhaps send us your log files?

I´m not sure, which log file you want. So I send you multiple. Should I send you via mail? Because I cannot upload the log file (is not allowed) and the textfile is too large

[jmoore]

You can send via mail, sure.

I have send it to ome-users@lists.openmicroscopy.org.uk. Ok that doesn´t work. I don´t have the permission to mail to that list.

it looks like your database connection configuration is not yet working. You're using the database owner "me". Is that user configured in your pg_hba.conf file? If not, you may want to take a look at the HBA-configuration section of our "OMERO and PostgreSQL" instructions.

It works!
Thank you very much.
It is necessary to install omero.web on Apache, when I use omero for browse the image collection of microscoy experiments and visualise multi-channel 3D time series?
Because windowsw in´t the preferred platform for web servers and so I have difficulties to install it.
The description is only for linux, I think. For example I can´t use the command -u apache_user and so on.
