[opencms-dev] opencms/setup will not start, 404 error

[Padric Daugherty]

Joe,

I found the real cause by searching the entire directory structure 
under apapche-tomcat.  The was a log file, opencms_init.log in the bin
directory that contained the following:

20 Nov 2006 11:12:46,846 ERROR [.catalina.core.StandardContext:3714] Error configuring application listener of class org.open
cms.main.OpenCmsListener
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/opencms/main/OpenCmsListener (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) 

It did not take long after that to figure out I needed JRE 1.5 instead of 1.4.
So, now my server status shows the following:

Apache Tomcat/5.5.20 1.5.0_09-b03 Sun Microsystems Inc. Linux 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp i386 

Opencms setup worked fine.

Thanks for the input.

Padric

Padric,
     I had this problem. For me, it occurred when the tomcat 
installation directory (/usr/share/tomcat5.5) had a symbolic link to the 
webapps directory (/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps). I originally got the 
tomcat app via the Ubuntu (Linux) installer. Although I'm sure there's a 
tomcat config file that resolves the symbolic link problem, I ended up 
downloading, compiling and installing the tomcat from the apache website 
(after first un-installing the other version).
Hope this helps!
