Hmm - I don't know much about aliases, I'm a UNIX head that just happened to
have helped a friend get Orion running under OSX. :)
Glad to know that works for ya!

Thanks Aaron, just got a bunch of practice with symlinks along the way
to
getting Orion set up ;)
Not quite sure that what I did is actually the key, nor if I did it
exactly
right, but here's the
story in case others might benefit from it:
Located in the orion directory, I used the ln -s command like this:
ln -s
System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVMFramework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Classes/cl
asses.jar tools.jar
This created not a file, but an alias folder named tools.jar in the
orion
directory. In the OS's
Finder program, double clicking on the folder gave an error message
stating
that it couldn't be
opened because the original item could not be found. I put this folder
in the
trash. Afterwards
Orion worked, but it may have been for other reasons.
Could it be that the symlink still exists, even if there isn't an alias
for it?
Thanks for the tips, it's encouraging just to know that these kinds of
things
are being done
successfully with OSX (didn't have to go out and buy a PC, yet).
Regards,
Pauline

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).

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 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:
but got the same message.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Pauline
