I am attempting to configure google's 'Gerrit' code review web app on a Windows server 2008 virtual machine on our internal network.

We are using Apache Tomcat (6.0.36) to host the web app and have deployed the gerrit.war to tomcats webapp folder, setup the context.xml, web.xml etc for the web app correctly i believe.

However when i startup Tomcat using the $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.bat i get the following message in the tomcat logs:


*Dec 07, 2012 1:03:54 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class >com.google.gerrit.httpd.WebAppInitializer com.google.inject.CreationException: Guice creation errors:*

1) No SSH keys under C:\Gerrit\config\etc while locating com.google.gerrit.sshd.HostKeyProvider at com.google.gerrit.sshd.SshModule.configure(SshModule.java:90)


I have created a is_rsa.pub SSH key and placed it in the specified directory to no avail. I have been googling this for about a week now and can't seem to find any information about the file or format it is expecting... documentation on setting gerrit up on windows seems hard to come by!

Can anyone provide useful information about how to correctly configure a host SSH key in this context?
