Folks--

I've successfully installed roller on ubuntu using the 3.0 tarball and a
tarball of tomcat 6.x.  I then wanted to see if I could get it to work using
the stock ubuntu packaged tomcat5.5.  I couldn't.

Had to add in log4j to the /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/libs directory, but
even so, I can't get roller to write to a log file with FULL permissions
(we're talking chmod 777 on the full path).  I did adjust the path using the
roller log4j.properties, no go.

The default install creates a tomcat5 user, but no group.

I get this initially:

SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor roller.xml
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
        at org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:103)
        at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4jFactory.getInstance(
Log4jFactory.java:114)
        ...

It seems as if there's a problem with roller.xml, but I can't every figure
out what that problem is because of the log4j problem.  The same file worked
for tomcat 6.x (which I just downloaded and ran from a command line).

SO!  Question is, has anyone gotten roller working with stock ubuntu
tomcat5.5?

If the stock Tomcat runs off of Kaffe and not Sun Java, and based on
the deps I see in the Synaptic package manager -- it does, then you
probably won't have much luck.
