[opencms-dev] openCMS installation exception?

[Mike Bachrynowski]

Assuming Windows:-
In development I have installed Apache as a service but I like to choose
which Tomcat JK2 connects to.  But I usually test on Tomcat standalone
first.  For the Tomcat side of the Apache/Tomcat on my Windows XP
workstation.  I set up variants of the following:-
-----------------
startup.bat
-----------------
rem  STARTUP.bat Tomcat start - 29 October 2003
c:
cd \progs\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19
set JAVA_HOME=\java\j2sdk1.4.2_02
set JSEE_HOME=\java\j2eesdk1.4_beta2
set CATALINA_HOME=\progs\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19
set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
rem Start Tomcat
bin\startup
-------------------
shutdown.bat
-------------------
rem  SHUTDOWN.bat Tomcat shutdown - 29 October 2003
c:
cd \progs\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19
set JAVA_HOME=\java\j2sdk1.4.2_02
set JSEE_HOME=\java\j2eesdk1.4_beta2
set CATALINA_HOME=\progs\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19
set CATALINA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=ISO-8859-1
rem Shutdown Tomcat
bin\shutdown
---------------------
I think the -Dfile.encoding is now fixed to be UTF-8 and so I don't
think I need the CATALINA_OPTS overide any more.

I dropped opencms.war in %CATALINE_HOME%/webapps started Tomcat then
connected to http://localhost:8080/opencms/setup/. ... All fine.

The OpenCMS "install.html" instructions has worked for me on various
Windows servers and various versions of mySQL and Tomcat.  

I would check that your Windows environment variables; echo %PATH%; echo
%CLASSPATH% are set OK. 

You do need administrator privileges for this work. 

Regards

Mike

>From first inspection it looks like you haven't set a JAVA_HOME
environment variable on your system to point to the base directory of
where you installed java.  This means that when Tomcat wants to compile
your jsp into a servlet it can't find the java compiler (javac) to do
the job.

Dear OpenCms and Java specialists,
I tried installation of OpenCMS 5.0 on two PC. I got the Java, I got the
Tomcat 5.0 and I have SQL.
The last part of unzipping the opencms.war also worked fine ...except
when one wants to proceed with the last part by accessing 
http://localhost:8080/opencms/ocsetup/
<BLOCKED::http://localhost:8080/opencms/ocsetup/> 
here is what happens ... and that's there regardless of reinstalling
Java, reinstalling Tomcat.
Now, the only thing I did not try yet is to uninstall MySQL ... which I
had on my machine before the rest of it.
 
General advice, I think the server installation is not detail enough and
while I am sure it works on new box, my two old boxes that had different
versions of Java and Tomcat before plus other things do not seem to like
it.
I explored already Zope and Mango and tell you that if it was not
because at work I was assigned to make the webcam work, I would toss it
in the corner and never look at it again.
 
Here is the mistake I get,
I would appreciate a lot any help anyone can give me with this
 
Thanks,
