Andrew,

When you get a moment, can you add a thing to our CAS User Manual's trouble
shooting section on deploying CAS to RHEL 5?  This will help us later if
other people have similar issues (we can point them to the page).

Thanks!

Good morning Rob,

I have setup CAS 3.0.7 on a RHEL 5 box recently (past month) and
experienced the same issues.  The problem is that gcj is the only Java
compiler that Redhat supports and uses it to compile (among other
things) Tomcat 5.5.  If you want to use RHEL 5, which I prefer, then you
need to do the following:

1. Remove the yum installed Apache Tomcat 5.5
2. Download and install necessary Sun Java rpm/binary
3. Download the Apache Tomcat 5.5 binaries and unzip/tar them;
   /usr/local/tomcat-5.5.x.x with a sym link to /usr/local/tomcat
4. Download and install Apache Ant;
   /usr/local/ant-1.x.x with a sym link to /usr/local/ant
5. Setup the necessary environment variables in /etc/profile
   JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, ANT_HOME
6. Download CAS and follow instructions on deploy WAR as necessary

As far as our current environment, I have two CAS boxes on RHEL 4 & 5
virtual machines on VMware.  Granted this is still a test environment as
I am still trying to get cluster/replication setup between the two
boxes. =P

Anyone have a checklist for dummies on configuring firewalls for
multicasting?

Hope this helps,

Well, I've been trying for several weeks to get CAS running on RedHat
Enterprise 5 without success, mainly due to incompatibilities with java
-- even the latest RC can't be built with Maven because of IBM/GNU Java
issues.

At this point, I'm getting a bit desperate -- before I recommend a
different solution to the college, I'd like to make one last-ditch
effort by taking the RedHat distribution out of the equation.  If any
one could kindly answer a few questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate
the time:

- What distribution has the greatest chance of successfully compiling
and deploying Maven/CAS?

- Are there any recommendations on pre-built packages/RPMs for these
distributions that would facilitate this?  Ideally, they'd be available
with the distribution itself.

- Have any pre-configured distributions been compiled into an ISO or
even something along the lines of a VMWare appliance been released from
which we can use as a base starting or reference point?

Thank you,
RHW
