Installation of OpenEMM 6.2 Vs OpenEMM 2011

[mokarram]

Good evening,

I have spent a good 40 hours this week installing and evaluating openemm and the best platform to run. So far the best choice of OS for me has been Centos 6.2 (After I tried Ubuntu/Fedora/Windows) to run the system on. My problem is that I found that OpenEMM 6.2 was much more stable to install and configure. I installed Tomcat 6 on one installation and 7 on another just to be sure that the newer version was not a problem and found that all worked untill I copied the OpenEMM 2011 files and ran the start up. Things like:

java.net.BindException: Address already in use <null>:8080

I checked for another instance of Tomcat or even resin, but nothing.... I am running localhost and made the changes to Mysql and checked emm.properties and cms.properties and its all good to go.

I can install OpenEMM 6.2 on the same machine without any major problems (in about 30 minutes) - I am really frustrated about why I have spent over 20 hours just trying to get OpenEMM 2011 without any progress.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The error message says that another service is already using port 8080. You probably tried to run Resin and Tomcat at the same time.

I am a very happy man tonight

I managed to install OpenEMM 2011 on Centos 6.2 after a good few tries!

The trick in installing (at least the web interface) was the following - I went through all of the steps as outlined in the 2011 install guide (english) but instead of installing tomcat when i was supposed i decided to be a bad boy and didnt listen. I did the OpenEMM installation THEN downloaded 6.0.35 and installed/configured it. This time EUREEEKAAAA

OK, but I am far from the end. Please let me know if there is a way of telling OpeneEMM and/or SENDMAIL that I just want to use another machine as mailer with authetification and port 26 to send. Could I do this with 2011?

Thanks in advance.
