[opencms-dev] Re: OpenCms won't start any more:CmsVfsResourceNotFoundException

Chris -
 
1.  I wonder if having installed Eclipse you're now running under the
Eclipse JRE or Sun JDK rather than whatever comes with the Mac.
 
2.  The presence of a process calling itself
org.apache.catalina.Startup.Bootstrap just means that's how it was started,
not that it is currently bootstrapping - so in other words it's just an
ordinary running instance of Tomcat, which is generally kicked off by
...Bootstrap and which is needed during any install.
 
3.  I don't know where you're seeing the exception, but have you looked at
webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/logs/opencms.log?
 
But this is probably teaching you to suck eggs!

Hi folks, 


I've had no response from anyone else on this but I've done a lot of
research myself. 


After re-installing OpenCms 6.0.2 a few times on my G4 PowerMac I now have a
definite and consistent failure condition. It's the same as the one already
quoted above (CmsVfsResourceNotFoundException) but it's absolutely
consistent now. 


Then I installed OpenCms 6.0.2 on my PowerBook and it worked fine! 


But I noticed two things: 


- the number of lines generated by step_8_import_modules.jsp was only 4394
on my G4 but was 11216 on my PB (no errors in either case) 


- during the install on the PB a java application is run and appears as a
Finder application - org.apache.catalina.Startup.Bootstrap. I presume this
is Tomcat being restarted during the install (can a webapp do that,
though?). NOTE this does NOT happen on the G4. They are both running OS X
10.4.3 with the same version of Java 5.0 (the latest from Apple). 


So I tarred up and dumped the OpenCms install on the PowerBook and moved it
to the G4. 


Started Tomcat and got exactly the same failure condition. 


Even though on the G4 only a fraction of the import appears to be happening
this is not the cause of the failure - it's something else! 


Now this is a longshot but there is one factor: between OpenCms working and
it not working I installed Eclipse. I do NOT have Eclipse installed on the
PowerBook. 


But this can't have caused the problem surely? What would Eclipse install
that could interfere with OpenCms working? 


BTW I have also repeated the exercise with OpenCms 6.0.3 now that it is out
but it still fails. 


Any help from anyone is most appreciated! 

Thanks in advance - yours in desperation and two major websites to deliver!
