[Geonetwork-devel] Re: Installation problems

I am seeing this issue on a FC4 with j2sdk1.4.2_01 and a FC3 with j2sdk1.4.2_10.
But I do have a FC4 machine with j2sdk1.4.2_05 that does install and run fine.

I can even tarball the install from the working machine and extract it on either the broken FC3 or FC4 machines and get a working install.

The failed machines have the following in web/WEB-INF/db/log/debug.log

which is clearly the cause of APP.Users fault.

poking at firewall issues now....

I am unable to successfully install geonetwork. I've tried java 1.4.2_10 and mysql 5.0 on win2k as well as various permutations with mckoi, jetty, tomcat 4.1, tomcat 5, java 1.5 (just in case). I tried on Linux FC3 as well. Can someone give me the exact versions that are known to work together? What is the recommended setup that is least prone to install problems?

Version 2.0.1 did not install the samples, and the login functionality was not working (I was getting the APP.Users error).
Version 2.0.0 gives the declaration of Metadata element error.

Thanks

Do you get errors during the installation stage or when executing it?
Can you provide more info (i.e. the logs). During the installation there
is a log inside the setup directory while during execution there is a log
inside web/log/. I think you have to edit the web/WEB-INF/config.xml file and enable debug to have the latter log.

Regarding the platform, I use a debian testing with kernel 2.6.12 and
jdk 1.4.2, with provided jetty and mckoi as servlet engine and dbms.
You can use windows 2000/xp with jdk 1.4.2 from sun. Remember that
jdk 1.5 doesn't work and jvm not from sun have not been tested.
