I’ve deployed the sonar 3.3 warfile with the proper DB config to a working Tomcat 6 on my MacOS server:

System Version: Mac OS X 10.7.5 (11G63)
Kernel Version: Darwin 11.4.2

When it tries to deploy the war I get this:

[pool-2-thread-1] ERROR jruby.rack - Error: application initialization failed

I have no clue what’s wrong, this is my first time working with OS X. Same WAR deployed on a Windows 7 with no issues. Any ideas?

    found a solution here

    you need to point the SONAR_HOME env variable to the directory where you unpacked and build the sonar war

    Example:

    download sonar distribution

    wget "http://dist.sonar.codehaus.org/sonar-3.2.zip"

    build the sonar.war, Note: the sonar.war will be bound to the directory where it has bean build

    unzip sonar-3.2.zip -d ~/temp/sonar
mkdir /home/ubuntu/.sonar
mv ~/temp/sonar/sonar-3.2/* ~/.sonar
cd ~/.sonar/war/
./build-war.sh
cd ~

    deploy sonar to tomcat
    mv ~/.sonar/war/sonar.war ~/java/servers/sonar-tomcat-6.0.35/webapps/sonar.war

    cleanup – but do not delete the ~/.sonar/ cause that is the sonar_home

    mv sonar-3.2.zip ~/java/utils/zip/
rm -rf ~/temp/sonar

    configure tomcat for running sonar see mkyong

    printf 'CATALINA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"\n' | tee ~/java/servers/sonar-tomcat-6.0.35/bin/setenv.sh
printf 'SONAR_HOME="~/.sonar"\n' | tee ~/java/servers/sonar-tomcat-6.0.35/bin/setenv.sh
