ubuntu 6.10 (edgy) + roller 3.0
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?

This is sort of a late answer, but I ran into this problem, and it
seems that the problem came Tomcat's Security manager.
Proper IOAccess needs to be granted to Roller in the tomcat.policy
files. With these changes made, Roller runs just fine with the
packaged tomcat (provided you installed sun's version of java of
course).

I would like to see that too. Wouldn't it be cool to "apt-get install roller"

Hi Dave--
I installed the sun-java* packages and made sure they were the
defaults (they were), and verified that tomcat5.5 was starting with
that version of the JVM. (export JAVA_HOME=/usr, for instance,
before starting, or editing /etc/defaults/tomcat).
No go.
However (and I've un-installed the whole thing since then), I wonder
if the packaged tomcat relied on gcj style jars somewhere along the
line, and that broke it?
Well, no matter, at this point.
I would love to see roller using embedded tomcat. Actually, I think
that would be easy to do, up to a point. Then, we could just
download the tarball, uncompress, cd /bin, and go! ;)

If the stock Tomcat runs off of Kaffe and not Sun Java, and based on
the deps I see in the Synaptic package manager -- it does, then you
probably won't have much luck.
