Hello y’all,

I’m trying to install the latest version of Roller on Tomcat 11.0.8 and getting 
the following error at startup:

09-Jun-2025 20:42:00.658 INFO [main] java.util.ArrayList.forEach Name = 
rollerdb Ignoring unknown property: value of "jdbc/roller" for "mappedName” 
property

Does Roller work with the latest version of Tomcat? I’m using Java 17 on macOS 
Sequoia. I created a roller-custom.properties in WEB-INF/classes. The guide 
never seems to specify where this file should go, but ChatGPT helped me out. Do 
I need to add a JDBC driver to WEB-INF/lib as well? 

I also noticed that the install guide has back ticks in the MySQL commands when 
it should have single quotes. 

mysql> grant all on rollerdb.* to scott@`%' identified by `tiger';

mysql> grant all on rollerdb.* to scott@localhost identified by `tiger';
https://github.com/apache/roller/blob/roller-6.0.x/docs/roller-install-guide.adoc#51-create-a-database-for-roller

I’m using MySQL 9.3.0 and I had to use the following command for things to 
work. 

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rollerdb.* TO 'scott'@'localhost’;

Cheers,

Matt
