trouble creating tcserver instance

[javadood]

Hi All,

I'm getting started using tcserver to host some spring web apps that will provide a compact graphic of some hyperic stats. Unfortunately, I'm running into some problems creating a server instance. When I run tc_runtime_instance.sh, I get a java stack dump stemming from an UnknownHostException (although it does have the right name for my machine). I see a lot of back & forth between tc_runtime_instance and groovy classes; I'm not sure if this could point me to the right solution.

Any assistance here would be appreciated - has anyone else encountered this error? Google reports very few (and unrelated) results for the exception and some contextual information.

Note: actual hostname has been changed, but it does report the same string as the 'hostname' command.

Are you running tc Server version 2.1?

Syntax doesn't look right for that version.

Doc Here: http://static.springsource.com/proje...tml/index.html

example:

prompt$ ./tcruntime-instance.sh create hyperic_portal

Thanks for the quick reply.

According to the usage information all i need is a -c (which is a default option). adding it changes nothing in the output/stackdump.


springsource-tc-server-node]# ./tcruntime-instance.sh -h
usage: tcruntime-instance -h for help
-c,--create create an instance [default]
-d,--tcruntimedir <arg> location of installation [default: location of
this script]
-f,--force force creation of instance, even if it already
exists
-h,--help usage information
-i,--interactive query for Port numbers
-j,--javahome <arg> specify JAVA_HOME [default: $JAVA_HOME]
-l,--list <arg> list all known instances located in instancedir
-m,--modifyver change the Tomcat version of an instance
-n,--instancedir <arg> location of instance directory [default:
current working directory]
-p,--ports <arg> specify ports: shutdown:http:ajp:jmx:https [0
means default]
-r,--jrehome <arg> specify JRE_HOME [default: $JRE_HOME]
-s,--server <arg> name of new instance
-t,--template <arg> location of instance template
-v,--tomcatver <arg> Tomcat version for create/modify

I'm using version 2.0.4.RELEASE

You may need to create a hosts file and define your hostname there. I have not unfortunately seen your error before.
