I don't succeed in configuring/starting up the RC server
I just installed the Requirements Composer Server and I need to configure it.
So I already followed this steps: 1. Click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Requirements Composer Server 2.0 > Start IBM Rational Requirements Composer 2.0 Server. The Tomcat command window appears. Wait for the message "INFO: Server startup in # ms". This step should take about 1 minute to complete. 2. Open your Web browser and disable pop-up blockers. Internet Explorer: Click Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn Off Pop-up Blocker Firefox: Click Tools > Options. In the Content tab, uncheck the box next to Block pop-up windows. Click OK. 3. After disabling pop-up blockers, point your Web browser to the following URL: https://:9443/rdm/setup What is ?: If you installed the server on a local machine that you will not share with others: will be localhost and the URL will be https://localhost:9443/rdm/setup If you installed the server on a machine that you will share with others: will be the IP address or host name of the machine. Remember to use the fully qualified domain name in this case. When I try the third step I don't succeed to open the setup page. I installed the server locally, so this should be te right url: https://localhost:9443/rdm/setup But the browser is not able to find it. In fact I am not sure if the server even starts. I placed a pause statement at the end of the startup batch, to be able to monitor it. This are the only lines that are displayed: Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\tomcat\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\jre Can anybody help please ? |

Normally a second Tomcat window opens if the server starts successfully.
My best guess to what's happening is that you have insufficent memory. While I don't recommend running this way, what you could at least try is the following: - edit the file C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\server.startup.bat - locate the line which sets JAVA_OPTS - lower the value for the argument -xmx(to something like 700M) Again, I do NOT recommend running the server in a constrained memory environment, but this might at least indicate if that's the problem. |

Thank you so much!
This resolved the problem. I got the server running. I will see if I can get a computer with more memory later on to install the server properly. |
I get the following error

As you have read above I am very new to this myself, but this looks familiar to me.
Because the setup page cannot be accessed, it seems that the server simply didn't start. Starting the server really takes some time. If the server window opens and closes quickly something went wrong. Maybe you have the same problem as me: not enough free memory. I suggest that you try the same thing as Stef recommended above: - edit the file C:\Program Files\IBM\RRCS20\server\server.startup.bat - locate the line which sets JAVA_OPTS - lower the value for the argument -xmx(to something like 700M) Note that this is not a permanent solution. If this makes a difference, the best solution is to upgrade your memory. |

Yeah, the xmx value is already set to 700 M. And the server is running successfully as well. The problem is that while running the configuration , it cannot detect the folder rdm\setup.
Maybe I am doing something wrong here Thanks |

It sounds more like something is missing. You might want to review the Installation Manager logs to make sure the installation was actually successful or even uninstall and reinstall.

I have the same problem (404 error trying to launch the setup). I have already uninstalled and reinstalled once. Has anyone figured out the issue here? My server has been started apparently successfully as I see the

I looked in the Tomcat server startup log and do notice this SEVERE error:
SEVERE: Catalina.start: LifecycleException: service.getName(): "Catalina"; Protocol handler start failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: NET_Bind:9080 What is the cause of this and how do I fix it? Could it be the reason why I get the 404 error trying to launch the rdm/setup? |

I just saw this issue documented for RRC related to port conflicts when RTC is already installed (or in my case RAM which has a Jazz server also): http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3499&context=SSWMEQ&q1=rrc+server+port&uid=swg21410385&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en. I followed the instructions here and can now start my Tomcat server without errors and view the rdm/setup.
