Slight mods to my list... I have rescinded on point 8... slide.properties is the way to go I feel..
1) Standard install Tomcat 4.1.24 (latest of the 4's; I have tried it with v5.0.5 and the way I know doesn't work, I presume there have been some critical modifications) 2) Copy slide.war, slide-admin.war and slide-doc.war to CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ 3) Start Tomcat using services > start (sorry, I am windows at the mo) - this is important, as for some reason it is the only way I could get slide to Tomcat to start the logger before it falls over on problematic startup. At least then you can see the error messages in CATALINA_HOME/logs/ 4) Stop Tomcat. 5) Delete all your log files. 6) DO NOT copy any JAR files from your slide download! The reason you are having trouble is PURELY because of duplicated JAR files, and following the instructions to do so (e.g. in Tomcat HOWTO on apache Jakarta site) actually made my setup fail! 7) Remove all the JARs from CATALINA_HOME/webapps/slide/lib and put them in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/ so that the admin webapp can share them. If you don't do this then you will be able to run slide but not slide-admin, and you will get the SlideToken problem. Leave ALL the JARs in Slide-admin webapp exactly where they are! 8) Inside CATALINA_HOME/common/classes/ create the following directory structure >>> org/apache/slide and then inside that, create a file called slide.properties and insert the following into it (replacing your precise path details, and remembering to switch your slashes around); you do not need quotes, even for paths with spaces (bizarrely enough): org.apache.slide.domain=G:/Program Files/Apache Group/Tomcat 4.1/webapps/slide/domain.xml [This is all one path, ignore the fact that has wrapped around to 2 lines...] NB - If the system insists that it cannot locate the Domain.xml file on startup, but you have checked the slide.properties file, and it is ok... delete this file and re-create it. I don't know why, but this worked once for me! 9) Start Tomcat and observe the startup window for weirdness (there should be none) 10) Check the logs to confirm, but I reckon it should all be sweet ;o) You may now mess with CATALINA_HOME/webapps/slide/WEB-INF/web.xml (e.g. uncomment the security-constraint bit to get authentication) and CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml (e.g. to change the authentication type). Please feel free to edit the list and publish it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
