[opencms-dev] Problem with too long pathnames onWindows (xmlcontent-demo)

[Mariano Barcia]

Hello Sebastian, Daniel,

Moving Tomcat is not easy task, so we added "links" to the Windows
server ... check out this 

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?ntfslink 

In particular, Tomcat 4.1.18 has a bug with ANY long pathname, so it is
useful most of the time to have it installed.

HTH,

hello sebastion,

I had the same problem and so I moved the tomcat to c:\tomcat55. I think

this is the only possible workaround.
