[opencms-dev] Re: opencms-dev digest, Vol 1 #695 - 4 msgs

[Michael Goodwin]

I'm a new user trying to install opencms:
system:
      win 2000 server
      MS SQL server
      tomcat 5.0

Having overcome all the problems listed below (with solutions) the setup
completes and points to ..../index.jsp,  which doesn't seem to exist.

 It's been a little bit of a nightmare so far (this is probably familiar to
some)
1.fix character encoding ,
- under startmenu Tomcat->configure->JVM tag add in line
"-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1"
2.get microsoft jdbc driver (from ms website)
 -put the 3 jars in %tomcat%\webapps\web-inf\lib
 -modify all occurances merant in the opencms.properties file , like below.
      "merant.datadirect"->"microsoft"
               "merant"->"microsoft"
3.change lost 'sa' password.
      a) logon as local admin
      b) open a cmd promt
      c) osql -E -Q "sp_password NULL,password,sa"
4.stop/start everything lots of times/ faf around in the SQL Server
enterprise manager/reimport, reinstall...
