[opencms-dev] Installation problems with OpenCMS 6.0 Alpha 2

I am attempting to install OpenCMS for the first (well, second) time.
First attempt was with OpenCMS 5.0.1 and the install failed with an
error message at almost the first screen. I found some postings in
the mailing list which described the same error upon installation,
but no followups to explain the error. Some kind of security problem,
and when I tried to investigate it seemed to be a problem in a Bean.

SO I gave up on 5.0.1 and am now trying 6.0 Alpha 2. This
installation has gone a lot further but it's real frustrating to
get an error and see nothing other than a Tomcat page with a huge
java traceback yet containing very very little information about
what the application was trying to do at the time of the error. I'm
not a java programmer so I can't debug the script.

Can anybody suggest a fix?

Here's what worked:

  - accepting the license agreement

  - component tests: (all checked okay)
    - JDK version: 1.4.2-rc1
    - Servlet engine: Apache Tomcat/4.1
    - Operating System: Linux 2.4.25-bf2.4
    - XML Parser: Xerces-J 2.6.2
    - Unpacked WAR file: yes
    - Default Encoding: UTF-8

  - select database (Mysql 3.x-4.0)
    - database specific settings

  - creating database, creating tables

  - modules available for installation (all 6 checked)

I completed the following form, and then the error appeared:

  OpenCms settings
    Enter your server's ethernet (MAC) address (12:34:56:12:34:56)
    Enter the URL of your OpenCms site    (http://example.com:8180/opencms)
    Enter a name for your OpenCms server  (OpenCms Server)
  Workplace import
    Do you want to import the workplace?  (yes)

Here is the error page I received:
