I'm trying to use Openshift to host my java webapps. The problem I am running into is every time I go to my application "http://omniticketmvc-leviliester.rhcloud.com/" it takes me to a "Welcome to your JBossEWS (Apache/Tomcat) application on OpenShift".
I thought maybe it was because my project had some sort of default .war that was being deployed instead of the one I wanted. To try to confirm that I followed this guide made by to deploy a pre-compiled War file. https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applications-war-and-ear-files-onto-your-openshift-gear .
As you can imagine that did not work. The guide implies that I should be able to find my webapp running at app-domain.rhcloud.com/mywebsite with "mywebsite" being the name of the war file my project created. In this scenario my Application war file is name "OmniTicket". I can find that war file on the server using ssh but the directory hierarchy is confusing to me.
I also tried looking in logs on the server but I don't see any errors to indicate a malfunction in spring or database connections. Any help would be appreciated. Specifically when I deploy my application to the Jboss Server without any obvious errors, why can't I get to the application root?
I should also mention it is a SpringMVC restful service application that works locally.
Try following steps:
Rename your war name to ROOT.war
Delete the src and pom.xml. If pom.xml is present then OpenShift would try to build the maven project
Place the war in deployments folder under your application root folder
Commit the war and push changes to application Git repository.
Check the logs using rhc tail command

I am (finally) upgrading from JBoss5.1 to Wildfly 9.0.2.Final (standalone). I am trying to learn how to redeploy a zipped EAR via scp, hoping to have it picked up by the deployment scanner. Per the documentation, all I have to do is set auto-deploy-zipped="true" in standalone.xml (in the deployment descriptor), then copy the .ear into the deployments folder. However, when I do so the scanner places a 'failed' file in the deployments folder with this message:
"There is already a deployment called EAR with the same runtime name EAR.ear"
It sounds like it will not automatically redeploy. I tried adding a signal file named Ear.ear.dodeploy to deployments, but this made no change.
I am able to deploy the EAR via the administration console, but I'm hoping to 'save time' with this scp approach. Hasn't saved time yet! :)
Thanks for any help.

I figured this out. It turns out that the auto-deploy scheme won't work if you originally deployed the .ear via the administration console. The fix was simply to remove the .ear via the administration console, then take the steps indicated above. Now it deploys and redeploys as expected.
I've got a project called CodeProjects that I've made in eclipse and want to upload it to my remote server, the problem is I need to configure it run in the ROOT folder so I can access the site via domain.com/ but tomcat unpacks the .war file and configures it to run as domain.com/CodeProjects/ how do I change this? Thanks.
I am trying to deploy a war file in a WildFly gear through a SFTP client.
I have followed the directions described here:
https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applications-war-and-ear-files-onto-your-openshift-gear but can't find anything about WildFly.
More specifically I was hoping to find app-root/dependencies/wildfly/deployments but as fas as I can tell there is no such directory.
Is there something I am missing or should I only use the git way for wildfly war deployement?
Thank you in advance
If you just want to easily deploy a war file, I would suggest using rhc port-forward (as shown here in the README https://github.com/openshift-cartridges/openshift-wildfly-cartridge/blob/master/README.md) and use the web interface to deploy it. I wrote that article and it does need to have WildFly added, I'll try to get it updated this week. From what I can see right off, you should put your war file into ~/wildfly/standalone/deployments to deploy it via SFTP. If you run this command find . -name "*deployed" when you ssh into your gear, you will see the ROOT.war.deployed in that directory.
I have developed an web application using HTML, Java Servlet and all. While developing I was using Tomcat to deploy it in order to test it.
Now my development is done and I want to make it live. For that we have live server but as I am new to all this I dont know how to deploy my java web application on live server?
So please help me if you know to answer?

I am also using MySql so what I have to about it..
You will have to build a WAR of the project.
You can do this
in eclipse: right click on the project, Click "Export", and choose war file in the dialog (and mention, the destination, name and all)
via ant using the war task
The ant option is better because when you have multiple developers on the project and the code is in version control, it is easier to get the project automatically (using ant) and build a war. (you have version control, don't you?)
But this is more of an operational difference (albeit an important one) but the war created in either way are same
Deploy the war to the server
You can manually copy the war file to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory (See the "Creating and Deploying a WAR File" section on this article)
You can use the Tomcat 6 "Manager" application.
Update
You said that you are using MySql also. MySql should be installed on a server (it can be on the same server) and the configuration should be changed (username, password, server details) so that the application connects to the same database (I am sure you are not hard coding database details and credentials in your application and reading them from some configuration, this is the configuration that has to be changed)
For that we have live server but as I am new to all this I dont know how to deploy my java web application on live server?
I assume by this you meant , you have a public IP assigned to a server. Now you can install tomcat into this server and open the tomcat port for public and you will be able to access.
Now build a war file of your webapplication and put it into web-apps dir of the tomcat and start the server
Making a few assumptions here. You need
A tomcat instance running on your production server
Permissions to make changes to the tomcat instance
A war file that bundles your application
If you have both, then you need to navigate to the Tomcat manager page and follow the instructions to upload your war file.
Deploy the war to the server
You can manually copy the war file to the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory.
You can use the Tomcat 6 "Manager" application.
I have created myProj.ear file and copied it into the deploy folder of the JBoss server.. How to run my project after starting the jBoss server?
I have been using war file and
deploying it in Tomcat till now to run
my project.... I am having a new
requirement to run the project in
JBoss. So, I converted my war file
into an ear file using the command Jar
-cvf myProj.ear ., Should I change anything in my project to run
the application in JBoss or just
copying my .ear file in to the jBoss
deploy folder is enough?
JBoss normally support hot deployment - meaning that if your application was deployed correctly (watch the console), it can be accessed via the browser (if you have a UI) or via web services, managed beans or any other interface you have provided.You can see the status of your application on the JBoss Admin Console. You can reach it by typing the URL of your JBoss installation. If you run your vanilla JBoss locally, you should be able to find the console under http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console
To reiterate: there is no explicit startup necessary, JBoss handles it for you.
Deploying an application in JBoss is pretty straightforward. You just have to copy the EAR file to the deploy directory in the 'server configuration' directory of your choice. Most people deploy it to the 'default' configuration, by copying the EAR file to the JBOSS_DIR/jboss-as/server/default/deploy directory.
Once copied, just run run.sh from bin, you can use the following params to bind it to an ip (-b) or binding it to anything other port (-Djboss.service.binding.set)
./run.sh -b 9.xxx.xxx.xxx -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01
Once you run it, Look at the console for error message. If everything goes fine you'd see "Started J2EE application" after couple of seconds.
If there are any errors or exceptions, make a note of the error message. Check that the EAR is complete and inspect the WAR file and the EJB jar files to make sure they contain all the necessary components (classes, descriptors,
jboss-deployment-structure.xml etc.).
You can safely redeploy the application if it is already deployed. To undeploy it you just have to remove the archive from the deploy directory. There’s no need to restart the server in either case. If everything seems to have gone OK, then point your browser at the application URL.
