Hello list

I'm trying to install apache Roller 4.0 on my system. My system is an
OpenSUSE 10.3 Linux installation with apache tomcat 5.5 and Java 1.5 patch
13.

With the installation guide [1] I wasn't able to get Roller running. I've
put derby.jar into the /srv/www/tomcat55/base/webapps/roller/WEB-INF/lib
folder. After that I've created
webapps/roller/WEB-INF/classes/roller-custom.properties with the following
content:

-- 8< --
installation.type=auto
database.configurationType=jdbc
database.jdbc.driverClass=org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
database.jdbc.connectionURL=jdbc:derby:/srv/www/tomcat55/base/rollerdb;creat
e=true
mail.configurationType=properties
mail.hostname=localhost
-- >8 --

When I point my web-browser to the roller directory I'm getting 404 Errors.
The directory /srv/www/tomcat55/base/rollerdb was created by tomcat.

This information I've found in the catalina.out:

-- 8< --

WARNING: Failed to register in JMX: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not

Roller Weblogger: Successfully loaded custom properties file from classpath
Jan 24, 2008 6:07:29 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
-- >8 --

I think I've got a misconfigured roller-custom.properties. Could anyone
provide a working Roller + Derby example?

Greetings
-luca.
