Problems installing roller on Tomcat 5.0.27
Hi,
I already have a working tomcat installation and mysql database on Linux
for another application. For some reason I dont have the Manager
application so I ve done the following
Unzipped the apache-roller-4.0.zip
Copied contents of webapp into jakarta-tomcat/webapps
Create roller-custom.properties in jakarta-tomcat/common/classes
Shutdown and restarted tomcat
A blogger.log gets created in jakarta-tomcat/logs with the following
content (Ive blanked out details) and there are no errors. I didnt
haven't permission to create a new database so I just amended the
details to point to the existing database I have which I do
have permission to to modiy.
INFO 2008-04-29 03:30:36,984 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - SUCCESS:
Got parameters. Using configuration type JDBC_PROPERTIES
INFO 2008-04-29 03:30:36,996 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - -- Using
JDBC driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
INFO 2008-04-29 03:30:36,999 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - -- Using
JDBC connection URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/***?autoReconnect=true

JDBC username: ***
INFO 2008-04-29 03:30:37,005 DatabaseProvider:successMessage - -- Using
JDBC password: [hidden]
but when I try to navigate to the roller webpage
htttp://www.company.name/roller
I just get 404 error, I can navigate to my other web apps ok.
Im completely stuck with this, anyone have any ideas thanks Paul

Any errors in your tomcat logs?
You could also try adding some debug messages to the logs by adding this to roller-custom.properties:
log4j.category.org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering=DEBUG
I'm not sure if that's the best subsystem to start add debugging messages to, maybe someone with more expertise can help you out with that.

The requested resource (/roller/)

Is it a Tomcat 404 or is it from Roller? The way roller is mapped on my shared tomcat install, if I don't include the trailing slash:
htttp://www.company.name/roller/
Then tomcat handles the request instead of roller.
I'm not really an expert on this stuff, but it might be worth a try.
