I've gotten Orion setup on OSX and there are definately some nuances to it because of Apple's wacky implementation of things.
On the tools.jar - you'll need to symlink the apple version of the tools.jar into the Orion directory. THough I can't remeber what apple called the file, I know this worked fine when I found the file (it might be classes.zip?). On the permission denied - its definately because you are trying to access a priveledged port (e.g. port 80). The change you made to the configuration file will work if you make sure to follow standard XML syntax and put the value in quotes (port="8080"). -----Original Message----- From: Pauline McNamara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2001 5:57 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Orion on Macintosh OSX setup Patience with a newbie please... I'm setting up Orion on a Mac with OSX 10.1 (so J2SE 1.3.1) and have come upon 2 stumbling blocks. Any advice is much appreciated. First: According to the installation instructions, the JDK's tools.jar file should be copied into the Orion directory. On the OSX the JDK is structured differently and the tools in the form of a .jar file are not to be found. Any hints? Second: I went ahead and started orion with <java -jar orion.jar> and get the following error message: "Error starting HTTP-Server: Permission denied Orion/1.5.2 initialized" I understand that I can't access port 80 when not logged in at the root, and that I probably have to alter the web.xml file to change the port (to a port over 1024). I tried adding this: <web-site host="localhost" port=8080> </web-site> but got the same message. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
