Hi,

I have Pentaho Demo- preconfigured installation with MySQL installed (Windows as OS). When i start ‘Start-Pentaho.bat’, it opens only one command prompt. I run Mysql manually.

I understand for hypersonic database based installation, two commmand prompts are invoked, and the hypersonic database is started when running ‘Start-Pentaho.bat’ itself.

How do i configure to run MySQL also when starting Pentaho?

Thank you.

Maybe it was just the version. I had to go back to an older version and not the latest release candidate to get the demo to install correctly as well.

For the demo I would just use the embedded database to start and once that works then try getting Pentaho using a MySQL database.

Have Fun

Paul

Hi,

I am new to this blog, but found a few intersting postings.

I have worked for about 9 months now with selling and implementing Open Source BI projects. I have often been looking for information and often searched info on forums. I have now created a non commercial wiki for adding tips and tricks, guides etc about open source bi, If anyone is interested please help me and other wiki members with adding material.

Cheers!

What Nicholas tell was right. Shutdown tomcat (or any utility that holds 8080 port) and try it. It works really fine.

try it

The solution Nicholas proposed did it for me!

Thanks a lot

I was able to run it with no problems on windows (host OS) and linux (guest OS). If it’s running on a virtual machine and you’re in your host operating system and try to type “localhost” into your browser that’s probably not going to work… try the browser on the guest OS.

Have you sorted it? That start-pentaho.bat is really solid; I mean like 99.99% no issues.

a) do a start -> run -> cmd and run the bat file from the command line, so it will show you on screen any issues.
b) you mentioned a tomcat appliance virtual image. tomcat often comes preconfigured at port 8080. If you have issues, consider shutting down tomcat and start the Pentaho demo again.

Happy Trails!
