Hi there,
Not sure if you and I have had the same problem but I've just discovered a
major pain as far as I am concerned. I migrated geonetwork to tomcat 6 on a
solaris server. I was having problems with intermap, catalina.out was
highlighting a temp dir exception. The problem I had was that the the
application is using relative paths, but relying on what directory the
servlet engine was started from. For example:
I have tomcat under /home/msmall/local/tomcat6, geonetwork is
under /home/msmall/local/geonetwork. I started tomcat from some arbitrary
directory and got errors, while if I start tomcat
from /home/msmall/local/geonetwork/web then it works fine. In the intermap
config.xml file there is a line for the temp dir with a value
of ../web/intermap/tmp this is the reason for the exception (in my case).
The relative path is from where the servlet engine is started from.
I also had a problem that was sorted for me by Fabien, where the
mapServers.xml file needs amending to point to the correct server url (see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=14192373.post%40talk.nabble.com).
None of this is in any of the documentation I could find but seems pretty
crucial to me. In my opinion all I want is a war file that I can put into
whatever servlet engine I choose and some sql files to build the dbase and
insert some content. the McKoi dbase, jetty etc are just a pain when you
want a production level app.

Hi:
I also have been installing geonetowork 2.1 in a linux fedora server and
I have faced similar problems. I agree with you, it will be great to have
a war file an sql script to create the database and a install file showing
what lines should be changed in order to get geonetwork running.
Also I had problems with mysql database creation, I created manually
and I always get an error when trying to connect as admin, this problem
was solved until I run gast to create it.

Hi Mark and Godofredo,
I can see your frustration and the desire to have a war file. Unfortunately such installer development is quite expensive and as such not within my reach. We have an installer that works for many, and definitely works for us, so no justification to change that from my perspective.
On the documentation, please provide updated documentation or Howto's when you have them written up. We can include them or have them on the site. You are welcome to add them to the site yourself directly too. We see these kind of issues discussed on a regular basis, but do not have enough dedicated capacity to integrate all of that. Direct contribution is the most effective in that respect (Godofredo, I have seen your other contributions, thanks for those!).
Thanks for your feedback!
Ciao,
Jeroen
