[jira] Resolved: (JS2-447) Documentation for using Installer doesn't work, and I can't find any installation procedures that do work.
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-447?page=all ]
Scott T Weaver resolved JS2-447:
--------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
It must be your browser converting the extension to .zip (I have seen this happen in IE before) . Just change the extension back to ".jar" and follow the instructions.

> Key: JS2-447
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-447
> Project: Jetspeed 2
> Type: Bug
> Components: Installer
> Versions: 2.0-FINAL
> Environment: Windows XP SP2, with Tomcat
> Reporter: Wayne Babich
> Priority: Critical
>
> I am attempting to install Jetspeed-2 using the installer, not building from source.
> The instructions at http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started-installer.html seem to have no relationship to the actual software, and I can find no install procedures that work.
> For example:
> -- The instructions say that I can download Jetspeed2.0-derby-install.jar. But the actual download is a zip file that does not include any jar by that name. I can find no installer.
> -- If I unpack the downloaded zip file, I find an installpack.zip. However, this appears to be a tomcat directory, not installation tools. Also, the README and RELEASE-NOTES talk about JGOODIES, not jetspeed or tomcat., and provide no guidance.
> -- The installpack.zip contains two files called "zipsucks", one of which is in webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\deploy, which interferes with the execution of JetSpeed's war file under Tomcat.
> -- If I unpack the installpack.zip and try to use it as a tomcat installation, startup.bat fails because it uses my pre-existing CATALINA_HOME (from a tomcat installation already running on my machine)
> -- If I fix the above problems and startup tomcat, Jetspeed fails at Tomcat startup due to SQLException: "No suitable driver". This cascades into a springframework.beans.factory.Bean CreationException: Error creating bean with name "jetspeedDS'. Presumably, this is happening because there is no JDBC connection information to point to the pre-installed database (is it Derby or Hypersonic?), and I can find no documentation on how to provide this connection information.
> Is there an intention that it should be possible to run JetSpeed 2 without building it, or is it expected that everyone will build?
