Thank you for a try.

As stated on the readme, Civilizer works on JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 7 or later.
The exception you've got usually indicates that you are trying to run Civilizer with incompatible Java virtual machine on your system.
I guess your JVM might be 6 or earlier. Is that correct? if not, please, tell me more about your system (OS, JVM, other info.)
If your JVM is earlier than 7, please, install the latest JRE. And then try it one more time.
https://java.com/en/download/

If you still have problems, let me know, I'll help you anytime.

If it's web based it would be cool to have a demo site to gain an idea of the product without installing anything.

I've thought of that. It's pending currently due to of funding or other issues.
A cool website for Civilizer will be constructed in the future with its dedicated runtime demo...

Thanks,

from civilizer.

I have JRE6, JRE7, 4 versions of Java, I'm not going to install one more now that it comes with toolbars attached.

I modified the script to run the java.exe directly, changed the classpath accordingly, same.

Waiting for the online demo ...

from civilizer.

Sorry for your inconvenience.
I experimented on my own and found out my mistake...
I've rebuilt the binary and reloaded it.

Would you replace your downloaded Civilizer with a new one and retry it?
I'll really appreciate that...

Before running it, please, run the following command from the command prompt to confirm your java version.

java -version

• If you see something like "java version "1.7.0_xx"", that's totally OK.
  • You don't have to modify the script.
• Or if you see "java version 1.6.xx", you need to edit the script to execute java.exe under JRE7.
  • Or alternatively, Change the system path so that JRE7 is the default JRE on your system.

And I guess the new binary will run...

I'm not going to install one more now that it comes with toolbars attached.

Well, as Oracle claims, this might not be a good idea.
Oracle have blocked their JRE7 download page. Only logged users can download JRE7 now. Anonymous users can't download it from Oracle site any more.
In my opinion, that means the version has some [security] issues...
So I recommend you to install the latest JRE...

Waiting for the online demo ...

I'll work on it.

Thanks,

from civilizer.

Yes i did that already, I modified the script, the PATH and the CLASSPATH
i've never been a fan of java but IMHO it prefigure the end of java as an end user installable solution.

from civilizer.

Yes i did that already, I modified the script, the PATH and the CLASSPATH

Well, that's not my point.

_I've rebuilt the binary and uploaded it._
My point was "would you download Civilizer again and retry it."

You mean even if you tried the new Civilizer, you still have the same problem?
Then, let me know that.

from civilizer.

Well, I replaced the binary a few hours ago at
https://github.com/suewonjp/civilizer/releases/download/v0.9.0.RC2/civilizer.0.9.0.RC2.zip

The old one,which is gone now, would not run even if your system JRE is version 7.
But new binary will run. I tested it on Windows 8.1 machine.

Sorry for the inconvenience...
I know It is a hassle, but if you retry it one more time, I'll really appreciate that.

from civilizer.

Nope
Tried on many ports

When I open a browser at http://localhost:1245/civilizer/app/home

I get

HTTP ERROR: 503

Problem accessing /civilizer/app/home. Reason:

from civilizer.

Thank you for reporting...

I found out 2 facts from the log.

1. Civilizer cannot create a directory on your file system.
2. Civilizer cannot copy a default configuration file from its package to where it is supposed to be copied on your file system

As far as the log tells me, I guess the user privilege with which Cvz ran was very limited.

Cvz needs to create a directory [User directory]/.civilizer folder to store application options and user database and files.
So privilege to access user file system is necessary. ( administrator privilege is not necessary, though )

I can't disregard possibility of another issue, but it's my assumption for now.

Could you tell me what kind of user privilege was that?
Or did you run Cvz inside a sandbox system like some antivirus applications provide?

from civilizer.

I tested with a local user which is a more limited privilege on my Windows machine.
It worked OK.

Also I tested with a path similar to your case like 'CDBuffer\ToSort\civilizer.0.9.0.RC2 (1)' on a different drive than C:
It worked OK.

I think some issue might be out there, but currently not reproducible...

from civilizer.

User is mine, full administrator (I shouldn't, I know). I trusted you :)

The directory is created, but empty.

IMHO if your program is not running in it's directory it should have a setup program.

Waiting for your sandbox demo

from civilizer.

Mysterious, but interesting issue... :)

Please, would you stick to this issue a little bit more? (I know you're a lot busy, sorry...)

I see the following line from your log;

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Source >'F:\CDBuffer\ToSort\civilizer.0.9.0.RC2%20(1)\civilizer\civilizer\WEB-INF\classes\app-option
s.properties' does not exist

Can you see the file at the path?

I first thought Cvz couldn't find the file for some privilege problem...
Now that privilege doesn't seem its cause...so I come curious the file is really there.

_Also I've confirmed the file has been included in the zip file of the release..._

from civilizer.

IMHO if your program is not running in it's directory it should have a setup program.

I agree. It's already in my todo list, though...

from civilizer.

i think your problem is clear :) i'm sorry i won't go further after this. I suggest you show me on your computer via screen sharing, let's continue by DM on twitter

dir "F:\CDBuffer\ToSort\civilizer.0.9.0.RC2%20(1)\civilizer\civilizer\WEB-INF\classes\app-options
.properties"
The system cannot find the path specified.

Dir "F:\CDBuffer\ToSort\civilizer.0.9.0.RC2 (1)\civilizer\civilizer\WEB-INF\classes\app-options.p
roperties"

10/31/2015 10:42 AM 114 app-options.properties
1 File(s) 114 bytes

from civilizer.

The original issue which was caused by my mistake when building the package has been fixed.

And another issue that prevents from running Civilizer on Bruno's machine is not reproducible on all of my environments. (Windows, Mac, Linux anywhere)

And unfortunately, he is too busy to give me more clues about it.

So let me close this issue.
