Hi!

I migrated my jforum (2.1.4) on a new server (tomcat5, mysql 4.1.15) and now get following exception when trying access anything ...

javax.servlet.ServletException
org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.execute(SecurityUtil.java:290)
org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege(SecurityUtil.java:161)
org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege(SecurityUtil.java:114)

(...)

root cause

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
net.jforum.JForumBaseServlet.init(JForumBaseServlet.java:97)
net.jforum.JForum.init(JForum.java:87)
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

(...)

--> everything else works fine (including other pages using servlets) ... any idea what could cause this?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Was my first guess too, but i double checked and everything looks fine ...

Is it possible that using tomcat5 i have to set some security-related entries in the policy files?

Greets,
Alex

Looks like you missed some classes when migrating.

None that I'm aware of. Have you tried copying the files again? it could some some corrupted class, for example.

Yes, I have done two completly independent tar-copy-untar runs ... on my old server everything works fine, on the new it keeps throwing this exception ...

Hmm ... strange ... ok, i guess i will try to delete all files (except for the config files) and reinstall the forum with a freshly downloaded version sometime this weekend, but somehow i doubt this will help ...

I'll keep you posted if i find out what the reason is/was ...

Greets,
Alex

org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil.doAsPrivilege(SecurityUtil.java:161)

Daaamn.. is it your local machine, or a hosted server?

Its a remote server, but im hosting it (so im root).

But i think i got it, give me a few minutes :idea: ...

Looks like its really a security problem with tomcat.

A.

/edit: ok, it was. Migrating from tomcat4 to tomcat5 got us (apparently) some more restrictive policy-defaults, I had to add



to the tomcat-policy file.

Strange that I was the first one to have this problem, as we are using the default tomcat5-installation using securitymanager.

So you know at least the solution if someone else has this problem

Thanks anyway for your effort (and the forum ;)),
Greets,
Alex
