Problem: The RevoDeployR Management Console returns a 404 error?

A likely cause of this is a problem with hostname resolution on the DeployR server. Verify that the server has a static ip address and that it properly resolves both forward and backward to the server's hostname. An entry for this ip address and hostname should be in the system hosts file.

There may be a port conflict with another application or service on the server machine. To resolve this problem, change the Tomcat port numbers. 

On Windows:

1. In the Tomcat 7.0 directory, open the file server.xml and make two changes:

   • Find the port=”8080” and change to a new port number such as port=”8090”

   • Find the port=”8008” and change to a new port number such as port=”8010”

2. Save the file.

3. In the Apache2.2/extra/ root directory, open the file httpd-vhosts.conf.

4. In the following line from httpd-vhosts.conf, update the port number with the one you used to replace 8008, which in our example is 8010:

   ProxyPass /deployr ajp://localhost:8008/deployr timeout=1800

5. Restart Tomcat and then restart Apache HTTPD for the change to take effect.

   net stop tomcat7 
   net start tomcat7 
   
   net stop Apache2.2 
   net start Apache2.2
   

On Linux: 

Note: If you added lines to iptables during installation, you may need to change the port numbers listed there as well.

1. Edit the file /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/server.xml and make two changes: Find the port=”8080” in the lines: 
   Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
   connectionTimeout="20000" 
   redirectPort="8443" /> 
   and change to a new port number, such as port=”8090”. 
   Find the port=”8008” in the line: 
   Connector port="8008" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" / 
   and change to a new port number, such as port=”8010” 
   Save and exit the file.

2. Edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf to update the Connector AJP port number in the following line with the one you used to replace 8008, which in our example is 8010:

   ProxyPass /deployr ajp://localhost:8008/deployr timeout=1800

3. Restart Tomcat and then restart Apache HTTPD for the changes to take effect.

   /etc/init.d/tomcat7 stop 
   /etc/init.d/tomcat7 start 
   /etc/init.d/httpd stop 
   /etc/init.d/httpd start

4. Verify that the port changes are working as expected. At the prompt, type:

   netstat -p --listening --numeric-ports --numeric-hosts | grep -i java
