I am attempting to set up the TrackStudio web application, and have this error:

Invalid trackstudio.encoding parameter
Please press Back and try again.If you want to suggest any features or report bugs just post in the forum.

I tried UTF-8 as well. Anyway, here is my .properties file:

Code: Select all

# Set yes to include debug information
trackstudio.debug yes

# Set character encoding, such as Windows-1252 or UTF-8
trackstudio.encoding ISO-8859-1


I run on Tomcat 4.x, using MySql 4.x. I dropped the 3 config files in the WEB-INF like the docs said....
Any suggestions?

What version do you use (2.5SP2 or 2.7Beta2) ?

The source of problem - TrackStudio can't find config file. Please try to use -Dtrackstudio.Home

Please try 2.7Beta2, its quite stable now.
Also, please try to use -Ftrackstudio.Home with 2.5SP2.

Still no go -

Malformed \uxxxx encoding.

under 2.7Beta2. Either I am missing something, or the web app doesn't work under a standard tomcat config...

I tried setting the -Dtrackstudio.Home with version 2.7, and still couldn't get it to work. It always fails over on that encoding property. I know it finds the property files in the WEB-INF directory, because if I yank them out and start tomcat, it reports the ever ambigous "null" error message when I try to login.

So I downloaded the sman.exe swing program, and started up it's Jetty engine. Again, even though the encoding is set my a Swing drop down, it failed and gave me the same error message. Database config checked out, I just can't get past this encoding error!

I search the google and find following:

It looks like it's complaining about a line in the properties file you
are loading. The usual Java rules about needing to use a double
backslash to represent a backslash apply inside the properties file. If
you have a line like:

someprop=c:\users\me

you need to change it to:

someprop=c:\\users\\me

Does it help you ? If does not - please send me debug logs.
