[opencms-dev] Problems setting up OpenCMS

[Christian Steinert]

Hi Gregor

if you get this message in the log, then most of the installation seems 
to have run through.
I don't know why the setup wizard won't let you continue, but if your 
logs contain messages saying that modules were imported (judging from 
the line number 18467 or the last messages, quite a few imports seem to 
have happened), then just try to edit your opencms.properties and set 
the wizard.enabled property to false and restart opencms through your 
servlet container.

After that it should be possible to just start opencms. The default 
login url is 
http://<servername>:<serverport>/opencms/opencms/system/login/index.html

After importing all your modules, the only thing left that the wizard 
does is to let you know that it's finished and to disable the setup 
wizard so that normal opencms operations can take over, so hopefully 
this workaround should give you a complete and working installation.

Best Regards
Christian
