[opencms-dev] Problems installing Opencms 4.2

[Lewis Foti]

Hi

When installing Opencms 4.2 on Redhat 6.2/Intel, Java 1.3, JSDK 2.0
everything worked until the first attempt to access the system via a browser
as described in step 8.

Using the URL
http://<servername>/servlets/opencms/system/workplace/action/login.html
resulted in strange dialog with very little text and two buttons, one of
which is opens a scrolling text field containing further information. Theis
contains a message to the effect the DATABLOCK details cannot be found.
Looking in the opencms.log file reveals the following;

[18.03.2001 12:15:51] <opencms_info> [1984/322/1662][CmsResponseHttpServlet]
JSDK 1 detected.

Any help would be most appreciated.
