Paul Hill,

         Well, if it was not the version of MySQL that caused the 
installation failure, perhaps it was the version of the JDBC driver that 
you were using. After all, what else could have caused the installation to 
fail? I think that we had already determined that OpenCms (OC) ver. 5.0.1 
works on your versions of the JDK and (I think) Tomcat.

         Have you had a chance to try to install OC 5.0.1 on MySQL ver. 
4.x? If so, I am curious as to which versions of the MySQL JDBC driver work 
and which do not.
