I feel your pain about configuring Mifos! The path is neither straight
nor free of trapdoors.

That page only applies to versions 1.3.x (and later, including trunk
builds). I added a disclaimer.

Which one?

All Mifos v1.2.x customization via file-based configuration should be
done by placing files on the application server classpath. This
includes:
* database connection
  * deploymifosDB.properties
  * placed in root of classpath
* application-wide configuration file
  * applicationConfiguration.custom.properties
  * placed in root of classpath
* logging
  * loggerconfiguration.xml
  * placed in <CLASSPATH>/org/mifos/framework/util/resources

You're correct that CATALINA_HOME/lib is on the Tomcat application
server classpath by default for Tomcat v5.x and v6.x.

For Mifos 1.3.x (and later, including trunk builds)
"deploymifosDB.properties" should now be called "local.properties". Any
of local.properties, applicationConfiguration.custom.properties, and
loggerconfiguration.xml that are used should be placed in one of the
MifosConfigurationLocations. For me, "~/.mifos" is my directory for
custom Mifos configuration, but if you want to run multiple instances on
the same machine with the same user, set the MIFOS_CONF environment
variable to each instance's directory containing custom configuration
files.

If you still see an error after reviewing your configuration, would you
please paste the error in a reply to this email or on IRC?

Good luck!
