<p>Following the installation instructions at <a href="https://www.jbilling.com/documentation/users/installation/mac-linux">https://www.jbilling.com/documentation/users/installation/mac-linux</a> started the first issue. "startup.sh" failed due to no JAVA_HOME path. Nowhere did it say Java JDK needed to be installed and JAVA_HOME configured as a prerequisite.</p>
<p>So, did that then ran "startup.sh" again, next issue. Could not write logs as directory didn't exist. Again easy fix (create it) but this should all be done and ready.</p>
<p>Ran "startup.sh" and this time got "Tomcat started". Great I thought this was the end of my issues but oh no!</p>
<p>It was binding only to IPv6 so again had to create a "setenv.sh" file and populate with a JAVAOPTS line to get Tomcat to preference IPv4. Killed the java process and ran "startup.sh" again and this time got the Tomcat page.</p>
<p>Alas /jbilling uri produced a 404 error so not the end of my issues! :(</p>
<p>Managed to access the Tomcat manager page (after configuring a user in the tomcat-users xml) and found the jBilling app was not started. Clicking start produced a "FAIL - Application at context path /jbilling could not be started" error message.</p>
<p>Having a bit of a Google I came across this post: <a href="https://jbilling.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/884-can-not-install-jbilling-community-411">https://jbilling.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/884-can-not-ins...</a></p>
<p>Applying the 'fix' on that post made no difference. I am therefore left with about 3 hours wasted time and a non working jBilling installation with little to no documentation. It doesn't bode well for the product!</p>
<p>Any help from the jBilling team would be appreciated to see if I can get this installation up and running and commence my POC.</p></div>Luketag:jbilling.tenderapp.com,2012-10-15:Comment/474783272021-07-10T12:56:14Z2021-07-10T12:56:16Zjbilling-community-4.1.1 just doesn't work<div><p>You can build from source using this tutorial<br>
