Hi folks,
with due thanks to Hugh, Ross,Scott and Paul I've got a working Wookie install
and deployed widgets on Ubuntu 9 series (actually
Linux Mint). The journey has highlighted a couple of issues Paul has taken on
board, and I have said I will put the method
together in a doc for the community to follow. I guess some of the issues will
get cleared up, but here's a brief breakdown.
a) I had a conflict with the servlet-api.2.5.jar and Tomcat's own equivalent,
solved by ditching the one in the ~/WEB-INF
directory
b) ant deploys the wrong copy of
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/wookie/WEB-INF/classes/hibernate.cfg.xml for a MySQL
based install -
using the Derby copy of the script rather than the mysql copy found at
scripts\mysql\hibernate.cfg.xml.
c) I was installing Wookie as ROOT, and of course ant is thereby deploying
stuff as root into a directory structure owned by
root, but to which Tomcat requires write access. Sorting the access out on the
Upload and a couple of other directories cleared
the problem I had of missing Widgets.
Again, thanks all, I will write up a step by step that can be used for Ubuntu 9
users.
best wishes
