Alex,

Please do NOT post a request for help to this list until you have searched 
the list's archives. Furthermore, when requesting help, always supply the 
information below. You are more likely to get help if we do not have to 
prod you for information!!

A. The most recent contents of these log files:

         1. opencms.log
         2. catalina.out -- if you are using Tomcat
         3. The MySQL log file -- on Debian Linux, it is <hostname>.log

B. Your environment and configuration:

-- OpenCMS (OC) version number, for example (e.g.), ver. 5 or ver. 6.
-- Servlet container and its version number, e.g., Tomcat (ver. 4 or 5.x), 
Jetty, or Resin.
-- RDBMS and its version number, e.g., MySQL (ver 3.2x or 4.x), Oracle, or 
MS SQL Server.
-- JDK, including both: (a) compiler and its version (e.g., Sun, Blackdown, 
IBM's Jikes, or GCJ), and (b) JVM and its version, e.g., Kaffe.
-- Operating system and its version, and, if using Linux, the distribution 
and its version number, too. For example:

                 -- Red Hat Enterprise Linux, ver. 3
                 -- SuSe Linux, ver. 9
                 -- Debian Woody or Debian Sarge ("Testing")

-- If you are using Linux, state whether you installed the software 
packages above using a package management system (e.g., RPM, dpkg, Stow, 
emerge, or "Apt for RPM") or manually instead.
-- The version of the JDBC driver is probably not necessary unless you have 
replaced the JDBC driver that the OC setup wizard installs during the OC 
installation.
