I replicated a pentaho installation on new virtual machines (1 Tomcat server with pentaho 5.2 and 1 postgresql 9.3).
Everything works, we can login, work, etc... except admin UI who can get XML response of the user list, it's an empty XML list... the API URL call by UI is : https://domain.name/pentaho/api/userroledao/users
Can you help me to find the next step to resolve the problem ? Thanks

I set up a Neo4j database on Azure following this guide. The set-up process went fine. The issue I'm having is that the database is not asking for a username or password when I access it though the public port. In other words, anyone can access and edit the database by simply navigating to the URL. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to set up authentication?
First: That's a fairly old walkthrough, with the v1.8 version of Neo4j running on the preview of Virtual Machines. And that image had a pre-set username and password. Look closely at the login box:
"The server says neo4j graphdb"
Those two will be your username and password.
Note: This is not the case if you use the latest 2.0x image in VM Depot.
I was able to get this working by modifying the /conf/neo4j-server.properties file and following the instructions at the github repo.
# Basic Auth-Filter-Extension
# See docs here: https://github.com/neo4j-contrib/authentication-extension
org.neo4j.server.credentials=your_user_name:your_password
org.neo4j.server.thirdparty_jaxrs_classes=org.neo4j.server.extension.auth=/auth
I was deploy pentaho bi server on my running tomcat server ref from here.
Now I want to create JNDI bases datasource so I login through pentaho administration console but in that web page nothing to shows users lists, user role. After googling some times I was found that change console.xml then I was changed my console.xml file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<console>
<solution-path>/home/pc-name/pentaho-solutions</solution-path>
<war-path>/home/pc-name/apache-tomcat-7.0.47/webapps/pentaho</war-path>
<platform-username>joe</platform-username>
<biserver-status-check-period-millis>30000</biserver-status-check-period-millis>
<homepage-url>http://www.pentaho.com/console_home</homepage-url>
<homepage-timeout-millis>15000</homepage-timeout-millis>
<!-- comma separated list of roles (no spaces) -->
<default-roles>Authenticated</default-roles>
<default-server-dir>biserver-ce</default-server-dir>
</console>
then I was stopped administration console and then again start but still it not shows me any user lists, role lists. After that I hard coded start-pac.sh as below
DIR_REL=`dirname $0`
cd $DIR_REL
DIR=`/home/pc-name/apache-tomcat-7.0.47`
cd -
. "$DIR/set-pentaho-env.sh"
setPentahoEnv "$DIR/../biserver-ce/jre"
but running at start-pac.sh it shows set-pentaho-env.sh not found but in my first steps deploying pentaho bi server on existing tomcat it not mentioned anything about set-pentaho-env.sh where to copy or set. Can any one knows how to solve this problem?
Short answer: Pentaho 5.0 doesn't have an admin console because both user roles and database connections are easily configured in the user console. It seems you just started to deploy your biserver so I suggest you upgrade to the new version and leave admin console behind. Trust me. You will like it.
Long answer: If you still wish to stay with 4.8 for some strange reason:
Don't change anything in Pac-start.bat, revert to the original version before your changes. If you need to change the default URL or port, then
find biserver-ce\tomcat\conf\server.xml
the default for pentaho user console is 8080, and the default admin console port is 8443. Change those to your preference. Once done,
find biserver-ce\tomcat\webapps\pentaho\WEB-INF\web.xml
change here:
<context-param>
<param-name>fully-qualified-server-url</param-name>
<param-value>http://localhost:8080/pentaho/</param-value>
</context-param>
then find the list of trusted Ip's and add additional trusted IP's here (this is somewhere around line 133)
<param-name>TrustedIpAddrs</param-name>
<param-value>127.0.0.1,0\:0\:0\:0\:0\:0\:0\:1(%.+)*$</param-value>
<description>Comma separated list of IP addresses of a trusted hosts.</description>
(Also covered in this article: http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/ServerDoc2x/Setting+up+trust+between+Administration+Console+and+BI+Server)
Make sure when you start the admin console, pentaho biserver is running already. Admin console will not work if the biserver is not running.
Make sure you use the correct JDK, because a wrong java configuration, or wrong java_home_path can also cause admin console to not stand up.
Really, just go with Pentaho 5.0.1.
I'm working on Java Pos and I'm a newbie. I need (kettle) Pentaho Data Integration in order to integrate the Java POS' database with the database in the ERP. I followed the following manual
"http://www.scribd.com/doc/19583351/Install-Guide-for-Pentaho-Business-Intelligence-BI-Suite-CE"
and I'm stuck at Part 3- Step 1. When I type localhost address in the browser, instead of getting pentaho login page i'm getting a "HTTP Status 404" error.
Do I've to change the tomcat server port or anything else? Please, help me find out the glitch in this program?
Check your server.xml to see what port is listening on. I assume when you started tomcat it started successfully? ( check the log for errors )
Use google.
Finally, if you want to use ETL/Kettle then you need to start off looking at the Spoon tool - this is the UI for building ETL. So look at that first perhaps.
(you dotn even need the BI server if all you're doing is ETL.)
The problem is I have full access to the server where the Sharepoint site is hosted etc, however all i've ever done is maintained the site. I didn't set it up.
There is now an issue where Sharepoint can't connect to the Config or Content databases. I don't know which of our servers run these, so is there anyway I can find out, maybe from a config file or anything which server/database I need to check.
Other websites on the web server are still running fine, I know the database isn't on that same server because i've checked.
Any ideas?
I normally find the easiest way is to look at the site collections settings in Central Administration (which you should be able to access if you have root access to the server WSS 3.0 runs on)
Take the following steps once in the Central Administration site:
Go into Application Management
Go into Content Databases
Select your web application using the selector which is orange in the top right of the main content of the page
Click the name of the database displayed
Once you are at the final point you should see at the top information for Database Server and SQL Server Database Name. Hopefully this should point you in the right direction of where your database is being stored.
If your access to the database content database is cut due to incorrect login details to the SQL server (i.e. the SA account's password has changed), the SQL credentials can be updated here too for the selected content database.
Hope this helps.

I am having an issue embedding my report into an aspx page.
Here's my setup:
1 Server running SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
1 Workstation running XP and VS 2005
The server is not on a domain.
Reporting Services is a default installation.
I have one report called TestMe in a folder called TestReports using a shared datasource.
If I view the report in Report Manager, it renders fine. If I view the report using the http ://myserver/reportserver url it renders fine. If I view the report using the http ://myserver/reportserver?/TestReports/TestMe it renders fine. If I try to view the report using http ://myserver/reportserver/TestReports/TestMe, it just goes to the folder navigation page of the home directory.
My web application is impersonating somebody specific to get around the server not being on a domain. When I call the report from the report viewer using http ://myserver/reportserver as the server and /TestReports/TestMe as the path I get this error:
For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the ProhibitDtd property on XmlReaderSettings to false and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.
When I change the server to http ://myserver/reportserver? I get this error when I run the report:
Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response.
I have been searching for a while and haven't found anything that fixes my issue. Please let me know if there is more information needed.
Thanks in advance,
Kendra
There are two virtual directories of interest with SSRS.
http://myserver/reportserver is where the web services are.
http://myserver/reports is where the Report Manager interface is.
http ://myserver/reportserver?/TestReports/TestMe works because you're going to the web services and passing in a parameter of the 'address' of the report you want. Notice the ? in there, indicating that the rest is a querystring parameter
http ://myserver/reportserver/TestReports/TestMe is trying to go a subdirectory of the virtual directory, which doesn't really exist.
To get your system working using anonymous access, you'll need to tell IIS to be running your website's application pool as a known user, which has sufficient permission to view the report. You can set this up in Report Manager (http://myserver/reports).
See how you go - good luck.
