[opencms-dev] tomcat error: FAIL - Application at context path /opencms could not be started

[David Boyle]

Is there someone I can hire to get OpenCms installed on Webfaction? It's
really not worth my time.

I got version 9.51 almost installed, as only java 6 is easily available.
But deploying opencms makes tomcat unstable omy shared webhost and after
a few minutes it stops and my ssh connection gets closed by the remote host.

I login on ssh, start tomcat, and start the setup pages in the browser.
I can create a database and tables. Then I get to installing modules and
after a of couple minutes it halts. It's a race against time that I
always lose.

Anyone know a reliable host with a painless install?
