Folks--
I've successfully installed roller on ubuntu using the 3.0 tarball and a
tarball of tomcat 6.x. I then wanted to see if I could get it to work using
the stock ubuntu packaged tomcat5.5. I couldn't.
Had to add in log4j to the /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/libs directory, but
even so, I can't get roller to write to a log file with FULL permissions
(we're talking chmod 777 on the full path). I did adjust the path using the
roller log4j.properties, no go.
The default install creates a tomcat5 user, but no group.
I get this initially:
SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor roller.xml
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:103)
at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory.getInstance(
Log4jFactory.java:114)
...
It seems as if there's a problem with roller.xml, but I can't every figure
out what that problem is because of the log4j problem. The same file worked
for tomcat 6.x (which I just downloaded and ran from a command line).
SO! Question is, has anyone gotten roller working with stock ubuntu
tomcat5.5?
Keith
