[opencms-dev] please help installation problems

[Joel Thompson]

My platform:

# uname -a
Linux tr-50 2.4.21-4.EL #1 Fri Oct 3 18:13:58 EDT 2003 i686 athlon i386 
GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 3 (Taroon)

tried Tomcat-4.1.31 (webapps dir)
and tried jboss-4.0.1 (server/all and server/default)

I've turned on all the debugging to get any incling of a hint as to the 
problem.(as set in opencms.properties)

In either case, (tomcat  directly, or jboss) I get the same problems... 
the workspace doesn't get created properly upon running: 
http://localhost:8090/opencms/ocsetup
it complains about files not found in the VFS directories...
typical:

10221:    com.opencms.core.CmsException: 2 Not found. Detailed error: 
[com.opencms.file.mySql.CmsDbAccess] /default/vfs/index.html.
10220:     ( 1 / 1 )    !!! Exception com.opencms.core.CmsException: 
[com.opencms.file.mySql.CmsDbAccess] /default/vfs/index.html
...
1380:    com.opencms.core.CmsException: 2 Not found. Detailed error: 
[com.opencms.file.mySql.CmsDbAccess] /default/vfs/release/upgrade_5.0.html.

(there are a few hundred of these types of errors, all the same format)


I have confirmed that the tables are installed into MYSQL correctly (by 
the way version mysql  Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.9, for pc-linux-gnu (i686)) 
with java connector: mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar.

After the workplace seems to load up OK yet with some "Missing files" 
errors. when I go to startup the opencms with: 
http://localhost:8090/opencms/opencms  I get a 404, with description: 
"The requested resource () is not available."  - I check all the logs 
for opencms.log and for tomcat, and there is NO CLUE as to what is wrong.

Please help.. thx.
