Hi all, i've spent quite some time trying to understand how to deploy jackrabbit 2.1.1 on a default tomcat installed via apt in debian/ubuntu. May be the following tips help others to avoid my mistakes:
* When deployed, everything seems to run fine. But creating a new repository with the wizard (e.g. with the name "myrepo") results in a website telling me "Content Repository Exists". Logs don't help either. Well, the problem is that the installer wants to create the repository in /var/lib/tomcat6, which is not writeable. Changing the owner to user "tomcat6" helps. Or specify an absolute path to a writeable directory. * You also have to copy the library "jcr-2.0.jar" to "/usr/share/tomcat6/lib" (not jcr-1.0.jar, like the docs say). * You can specify an absolute path in the wizard (e.g. /srv/jcr/myrepo). best, Patrick -- Patrick Maué http://ifgi.uni-muenster.de/~pajoma/
