[opencms-dev] Installation Opencms vers. 5.0

[Jan Creemers]

Bettina,

Tomcat must be configured to unpack the opencms.war.
This is explaned in the install.html of OpenCms.

Important: OpenCms requires that it's *.war file is unpacked. OpenCms can
not be deployed as war file only. Make sure Tomcat does unpack the war file
and creates the CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opencms/ directory, placing the
OpenCms files in this directory. The default configuration for your Servlet
containers / environment could be to not unpack the deployed *.war file. If
this is so you must unpack the opencms.war file manually. Use an unzip tool
for this, *.war files are just *.zip files with a different extension. The
OpenCms setup wizard will display a warning and not allow you to continue if
you did not unpack the  *.war file.

rgrds,

Jan

> Hi !

> Currently we're trying to install opencms vers. 5.0.
> Every needed component is installed (mysql, tomcat, apache).
> We also unpacked the opencms.war - file in the folder "webapps" (tomcat).
>
> We start "../opencms/ocsetup/" and the setup wizard appears - but the
wizard is stopped because "the opencms.war - file has not been unpacked"
etc.

> We have already worked with opencms vers. 4.7.7 and there occures no
problem at the installtion. But it was installed on a standalone system. Now
it is not a standalone system, several virtual hosts are using the same
tomcat - there exits also a virtual hosts for the opencms application (the
document roots and the environment variables are alright - the other virtual
hosts are working fine).
