Why does RPE 2.1 rpeng bring up strange GUI?
I've installed RPE 2.1 remote services on a RHEL 7 server, Tomcat and Derby, but, when I hit the website (/rpeng), I do not get the expected GU that appears in the documentation. Instead, I seem to be getting some kind of administrative GUI, but none of the actions on that page seem to be responding.
What have I done wrong? |
One answer
Can you verify if the webpage is completely loaded? Which browser are you using? Is it Internet Explorer (with Compatibility View)? If so, please try after unchecking / disabling Compatibility View.

Getting this error on both FireFox and Chrome. I brought up Developer Tools, and it looks like there are 404 errors loading resources from css_ and js_ directories. I checked for the folders under tomcat/webaps/rpeng, and these directories do not exist. Instead, they are named css_20160518_1159 and js_20160518_1159. Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks, Kumar. I will install IFIX001.

I installed IFIX001 and redeployed the RPE WAR files but that did not help.
The java version on my RHEL 7.2 machine is:
openjdk version "1.8.0_101"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
I checked the system requirements, and it looks like I need to install IBM Runtime Environment, Java Technology Edition. I will try that next.

Kumar provided me with the answer in his comment above. I needed to install the IBM JRE. Once I did that and set the JRE_HOME environment variable, everything worked perfectly.
I did not see this step in the RPE installation instructions (although I now see that it was in the System Requirements).
Thanks,
Robert
