Hi gang, <newbie alert> I'm trying to install Cocoon v2.0.2 with Tomcat v4.0.3 on Mac OSX v10.1.3 and I'm having some problems. I'm sure the main problem is that I'm new at all this but I had to start somewhere so I've simply leapt in.
I have Tomcat installed and working and I was told by someone on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list that all I had to do was put the cocoon.war file in the tomcat/webapps directory, restart tomcat and that was it. Seemed too easy and naturally it didn't work for me. I was wondering if I still had to follow some of the other install steps listed at http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html? Such as replacing the xalan-XXX.jar, xercesImpl-XXX.jar and xml-apis.jar files in the Tomcat installed files with the ones from the Cocoon package and also editing the cocoon/src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file? The Cocoon package I started with was "cocoon-2.0.2-bin.tar.gz" Also I'm wondering, with the cocoon.war file in place, exactly where should the Cocoon directory should go? Or does the cocoon.war file cover it all? I've installed Tomcat in ... /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps/cocoon.war Maybe I should put the cocoon directory in ... /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/cocoon/ One last question just to confirm my rookie status ... do I need the JDK and ANT installed for any of this? If so, what versions do I need with OSX? I'm probably putting the horse before the carriage but I was hoping I could get XML transforming without having to do all the clean builds etc. and get up to speed with everything else as I go along. I should probably asking for the name of a good book to get me going. I hope Matthew and Carsten are dedicating several chapters to installing Cocoon! </newbie alert> Many thanks in advance, Randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
