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

Nick,

I guess: your problem with 5.0.1 installation could be the encoding
problem or the version of your xerces xml-parser.
Try to use iso-8859-1 as default encoding of your jvm: to do that set
JAVA_OPT=-Dfile.encoding="ISO-8859-1"
And probably after the installation you have to copy the
xerces-1_4_4.jar from opencms/WEB-INF/lib to
$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed directory.

In the case of opencms 6 alpha 2 installation, It seems that the jasper
jsp-compiler of your tomcat 4.1.x (x=?) could be old, try to use tomcat
5.0.29 (or latest) and the latest SUN jdk 1.4.2 (It didn't work for me
with IBM and BEA jrockit compiler). For production / development use of
opencms take the latest HEAD from cvs and build it from source, it's
very easy.

Best Regards
Arash

Subject: [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:
