[opencms-dev] Registry missing?

[Markus Klink]

Hi All,

I try to install opencms 4.1.36, but face a couple of problems.

The documentation on the web and in the config folder of the zip file 
seem to refer to opencms 4.1.30, and although the installation went 
smooth at first, I hit the wall, when it comes to invoking the shell. 
Here I get the following error:

[root at mkl opencms_4.1.36]# java com.opencms.core.CmsShell 
config/opencms.properties < config/cmssetup.txt
[OpenCms] creating first cms-object

and so on. The shell will not start up.

The registry file (or what I think it is config/registry.xml) does not 
seem to be found.

My classpath includes all the jar files (esp. xerces), and I am unable 
to find the error.

Can someone help me please?

P.S. Is there a searchable mailinglist archive somewhere?
