Anyone able to get Mingle to run on solaris 10/x86?

I get an enormous JRuby stack trace about not being able to bring up rails (also get a nohup logging message echoed to my console which seems weird.)

javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not load Rails. See the logs for more details. at org.jruby.webapp.RailsFactory.makeObject(RailsFactory.java:144) at org.jruby.webapp.util.CustomObjectPool.addObject(CustomObjectPool.java:92) at org.jruby.webapp.util.CustomObjectPool$PoolSizeManager.run(CustomObjectPool.java:160) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

Are there additional log files being dumped somewhere, beyond the std-err, std-out, and production ones in logs?

hi jayshao -

the problem is with the solaris tar utility. the solaris version of tar is not compatible with our installer. this is a fairly well-known problem with the solaris tar utility and many other packages, such as MySQL, suffer from the same problems. we have used the gnu version of tar to pack the installer for maximum portability. to fix the problem in the short-term you need to do one of:
  • install gtar and use that to unpack the installer
  • unpack the installer on another platform and then move it to solaris

we will keep you posted on what we can do to supply an installer that is more compatible with solaris.

if you are interested in installing gtar, check out http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistintel10.html#tar
