[opencms-dev] opencms6 beta1 : installation problem

[Frans Postma]

As far as I know those errors are to be expected since initially the database IS empty. It will be populated around line 1200 or
so. Try looking for a file named setup.log it has all the logging of the setup procedure (which doesn't fit in the outbox).

If you see a CmsConfigurationException or something like it in the logfile you probably have an old/incorrect-filled database
causing trouble. Try removing $TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/opencms AND remove the opencms.war if it's still in the webapps dir (you should
unpack it and then remove it, don't leave it around under webapps!). Next drop the 'opencms' database from mysql yourself, to be
sure.

Steps:
1. stop tomcat, ensure it has stopped (ps -ef|grep java)
2. rm -rf $TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/opencms $TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/opencms.war
3. unpack the war to webapps, which should create a directory webapps/opencms. 
4. stop/start mysql if you can (to be sure)
5. start tomcat
6. try setup again

I had the same problem when the first install failed, tried it again without cleaning like above and it pretended to succeed only
to result in 30% of the workplace being installed.
