2.5.1 - installed today - register does not work on RHFC4 and tomcat5

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Well I re-installed tonight .

I still have 2 errors.

1. When testing the email on config - no email gets delivered even with a test successful.
2. When I try and register I get the following:-

An error has occurred.

For detailed error information, please see the HTML source code, and contact the forum Administrator.

net.jforum.util.Captcha


Forum Index.

I decided to use the default database as mysql 4.1.12 would not install either.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Kevin

For the Capcha error, you'll want to pass -Djava.awt.headless=true on the command that runs Java. In Tomcat, one way to do this is to modify $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh to have:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true"
export CATALINA_OPTS

at the beginning on their own lines somewhere after the "#!/bin/sh".

For email you're going to have to look in your mail server's error log - JForum will tell you what it knows but a single email message may go through several processes before it makes it out of your machine.

This is what my tomcat5.conf file looks like

# tomcat5 service configuration file

# you could also override JAVA_HOME here
# Where your java installation lives
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java"

# You can pass some parameters to java
# here if you wish to
#JAVA_OPTS="-Xminf0.1 -Xmaxf0.3"

# Where your tomcat installation lives
# That change from previous RPM where TOMCAT_HOME 
# used to be /var/tomcat.
# Now /var/tomcat will be the base for webapps only
CATALINA_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5"
JASPER_HOME="/usr/share/tomcat5"
CATALINA_TMPDIR="/usr/share/tomcat5/temp"
JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS="/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed"

# What user should run tomcat
TOMCAT_USER="tomcat"

# You can change your tomcat locale here
#LANG=en_US

# Time to wait in seconds, before killing process
SHUTDOWN_WAIT=30

# Set the TOMCAT_PID location
CATALINA_PID=/var/run/tomcat5.pid

# If you wish to further customize your tomcat environment,
# put your own definitions here
# (i.e. LD_LIBRARY_PATH for some jdbc drivers)
# Just do not forget to export them :)
CATALINA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true"
export CATALINA_OPTS

I'd appreciate any help.

Can you post the full stack trace? This should be somewhere in your tomcat logs directory. That would help determine what the issue really is.

it looks like the same reason jive was crashing - something with the java compiler.

What do you think - this is a standard RHFC4 install with the exception of the TOMCAT update posted previuosly.

What do you think?

Thanks again.

Ha, that's the problem.

You should switch to Sun's 1.4.x VM, or any other decent implementation (ibm, bea etc)

OK thanks I'll change it and let you know.

Why do that pack RHFC with that then?

It is a bit of a religious debate. Some Linux folks don't like that Java does not have an open source license that they think is the right one. Therefore they package inferior software that matches the license that they feel is right, quality be damned.
