> 1. Check that user you use to launch tomcat can read jars: > chmod 666 $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/* > > Or even: chmod -R 666 $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cocoon All files/folders are owned by tomcat.dev. I left the permissions alone (for now). > 2. Check that your java can read these jars: > java -cp $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/cocoon-2.0.3.jar:... I think it should be: ".../WEB-INF/lib/coc...." > org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon > > If all is ok, should say: > > Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main > > Repeat same for org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver.
