I won't disagree with you there, the lack of a point and click installer is not helping their adoption rate. Even a simple web or tomcat based installer would help.

You make it sound very easy, but the truth is that unless you have some basic knowledge about programming, this action can be a very difficult task.

As long as you can install Tomcat, there shouldn't be an issue. Get tomcat running, then follow the directions, but use 'Existing Tomcat' when the installer asks

Hi, I have a question…

Can I install fedora commons on my web server through cpanel, or am I missing something?

Everything you have looks fine, one thing, did you create the database before running the script? (it won't create it for you, only access it via the parameters you gave) Basically you'd bring up psql:

psql -d postgres

then create an empty database 'fedora' with user/passwd being the default 'fedoraAdmin' with:

CREATE ROLE "fedoraAdmin" LOGIN PASSWORD 'fedoraAdmin';
CREATE DATABASE "fedora" WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER="fedoraAdmin";

If that's not it, I think there was a way to run the installer in debug that might give further clues - let me know if that doesn't get you any further.

One more thing…the database name is fedora now not fedora32, I posted an older error message. Error is the same using fedora or fedora32.

I am trying to modify this script for a postgres database, but I get the error:
ERROR: Bad value for 'database': Not a valid value: fedora32

Here's the script:
# example install.properties
ri.enabled=true
messaging.enabled=true
apia.auth.required=false
database.jdbcDriverClass=com.postgresql.jdbc.Driver
ssl.available=false
database.jdbcURL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/fedora?useUnicode=true&char$
messaging.uri=vm:(broker:(tcp://localhost:61616))
database.password=********

tomcat.http.port=8080
fedora.serverHost=localhost
