Stuck at "Loading..." screen


Sterling Bates (2311612) | asked Feb 12 '10, 1:01 p.m.
I recently installed Jazz+Tomcat on a machine that has to be locked down for IBM's business rules compliance. Installing them as root works fine, but then I changed ownership & group to a non-root user. I can log in just fine, but as soon as I do the server stops at the "Loading..." screen.

The database connection looks fine, and the logs are not showing any errors, either Catalina or Jazz. The /setup URL works fine, and I can pass that without issues. I'm not sure what to do next to troubleshoot the problem.

I'm unable to find any debugging helps from Google or this site. I tried setting ".level=ALL" in the JRE's logging.properties file, but that hasn't done anything at all.

What else can I do to troubleshoot or attempt to diagnose the problem?

Well, I finally saw the log4j.properties file in server/conf/jazz, set this property:

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, file

and the log file contained this:

-----------
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing content service. The content temporary directory '/tmp/versionedcontentservice' is read-only.
at com.ibm.team.scm.service.internal.content.VersionedContentService.canWriteInDirectory(VersionedContentService.java:1055)
-----------

It would be very helpful if this exception was logged at the WARN level, because the error for a readonly /tmp/contentservice is logged.

Anyway, I hope this helps others who want to debug Jazz.
