Inviting Team Members broken?

All,

Having successfully installed Team Elements< I am attempting to create a Test Project which I can invite people to participate in (I couldn't find a way to create users myself, so I assume inviting them is the way to go).

I have created a new project and gone straight to the Team Tab and invited some people via email. However the next pages comes straight back with a blank error.

Checking catalina.out, the issue is:

ConnectionPool-> Removed: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/elements (avail=1, busy=0, max=10)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: .../elements/1/templates/invite_subject.txt (No such file or directory)

How do I go about creating that file? Is this something I should have done as part of installation? Or within the Web interface? I can't find anywhere obvious and the Getting Started documentation doesn't mention it.

Cheers,
David

The path listed in the exception looks strange: .../elements/1/templates/invite_subject.txt (No such file or directory)

Typically the path listed is an absolute path to the file library.

You could either copy the missing files into that path, or it seems that other things could be problematic if the path isn't ultimately fixed -- like uploading and download documents, etc.

Matt,

thanks for that. This pointed me in the right direction. During installation there was a question asking me for a Storage Path which I set to /full/path/elements on the tomcat server. (my previous message, I didn't give the full path, hence the confusion - sorry about that).

This however did not copy over the required files during the installation. Looking for invite_subject.tct and invite_message.html (can't think why I couldn't find these yesterday) I found them in

/path/to//tomcat/webapps/team/WEB-INF/setup/

I then manually copied them over to the directory that the catalina.out pointed me to and it then started working.

However, what should I have used? Should I have used the tomcat folder? The reason I ask was that the error message wanted the file located in /full/path/elements/1/templates and I that structure was not duplicated in the WEB-INF/setup folder that the files were in.

Is there anything else that will be broken as a result of this?

Thanks for the quick response btw - very helpful.

Cheers,
David
