Myron, It looks like you sent/attached only screenshots of the logs directory. I'll need the actual log files themselves. You can run this command to get a "tar" file containing all the log files: tar cvf logs.tar /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/logs The output of the command will be a file named "logs.tar" which you can then email me. -Richard ________________________________________ From: myron rodrigues <rod.myron@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2017 12:18 AM To: Richard Millet Subject: Re: [Talk] start up error this is one more attachment with regard to the PID file On 12 October 2017 at 10:34, myron rodrigues <rod.myron@gmail.com<mailto:rod.myron@gmail.com>> wrote: hi Richard, Sorry for the delayed response.

The log files at /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/logs may contain some error messages and could help resolve the problem. Feel free to respond to this email with a copy of your log files and I'll take a quick look to see if I can help. You can "tar" the entire logs directory in a single file using the following command: tar cvf logs.tar /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/logs -Richard ________________________________________ From: Talk <talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org<mailto:talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org>> on behalf of myron rodrigues <rod.myron@gmail.com<mailto:rod.myron@gmail.com>> Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2017 5:09 AM To: talk@lists.collectionspace.org<mailto:talk@lists.collectionspace.org> Subject: [Talk] start up error Dear Sir/Madam, I have completed all the steps indicated to install collection space on my Linode VPS. i am getting a final error when i try to test if the the installation was successfull. the error is as follows: root@localhost:~# sudo su - cspace cspace@localhost:~$ $CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME/bin/startup.sh Setting NUXEO_HOME Setting JAVA_OPTS Using JAVA_OPTS= -Dslf4j.detectLoggerNameMismatch=true -Dlog4j.debug=true -Dnuxeo.home.dir=/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/nxserver -Dnuxeo.log.dir=/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/nxserver/log -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m to launch Tomcat Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/ Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/bin/tomcat-juli.jar Using CATALINA_PID: /usr/local/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.64/bin/tomcat.pid Existing PID file found during start.
