[opencms-dev] Installation on OSX - fun and joy!

[Sam Easterby-Smith]

Hi there.

I am utterly new to Tomcat and OpenCms, and am attempting to get it  
running on Mac OSX Server
(mainly to see if it's any cop ;-)

So i've upgraded Tomcat from the pre-installed v3.something to a fresh  
copy of v4.1.24

And low, the server works, the examples work, the opencms package is in  
the right place and I get as far as ocsetup (choosing standard or  
advanced) and then hang my head in shame as I get the torrent of errors  
given below. (on the content_encoding.jsp page)

What else might help?

java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-39)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-14, mixed mode)

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Sam
