[opencms-dev] Installation problem on Redhat Fedora Core 4 x86_64

[Joe Desbonnet]

Don't use the Java VM that comes with FC4. Use the Sun Java (1.4.2 or
1.5). Also if you do that use the official Tomcat distribution. I use
Tomcat 5.5.9 with JDK 1.5.0.

You can get the Java VM as RPMs from jpackage.org  but I havn't tried
that. I prefer to unpack the official Sun distribution in
/opt/java  and put the bin subdirectory of the JavaVM in your PATH.
Also set JAVA_HOME env variable for Tomcat. I usually put the Tomcat
engine in /opt/tomcat


I think the Fedora java system is at least a year away from being
fully compatible with the official Java (too many bugs and incomplete
APIs).

Joe.
