Tomcat: VoyantServer demo data (Shakespeare and Austen) does not exist. #35

Closed PieterLabuschagne closed 4 years ago

Good day,

Please assist with Tomcat configuration for data not loading.

Server specifications: CentOS 7.5 Java 1.8.0_152 Tomcat 9.0.1 VoyantServer 2.4 (M36)

VoyantServer Setup: Copied _app to /opt/tomcat/webapps and renamed to voyant. Can access via: http://v-sdlr-lnx3.nwu.ac.za:8080/voyant/

When I select Open and choose a corpus: Error: Failed attempt to create a Corpus A corpus was specified but does not exist, could not be migrated and could not be recreated: shakespeare ... more.

Where must I put the data folder or how can I configure the data_directory? Since I'm not starting the VoyantServer from the .jar file the server-settings.txt is not used. Is there a way to set server-settings for Tomca? I would like the data folder to be located at /data/voyant on my server.

Thank you.

You need to determine (or set) where your temporary Tomcat data directory is and then copy the contents of "data" from the original zip folder to that location – that will allow your Voyant to find and migrate the built-in Shakespeare and Austen directories. Please let me know how it goes.

Hi sgsinclair,

Thank you for your help. It's working now. My mistake was I copied the whole "data" folder to the temp Tomcat folder instead of its contents.

Kind regards Pieter
