Linux + Apache Tomcat + JForum

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

What's the trick for getting JForum to work with Tomcat 5.5.16? I'm writing a book on Open Source for Business and want to include JForum. I used to have it working last year on a Windows box but haven't ever got it up on the Linux box. Can someone tell me a configuration which works?

Thanks,
TimJowers

Here's what I have:
JForum 1.6 (latest as of March 2006)
Tomcat 5.5.16
[root@localhost logs]# java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)
[root@localhost logs]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-22.EL #1 Sat Oct 8 17:48:27 CDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
postgres=# SELECT version();

Tomcat 5.5.16 has bugs .. try an earlier or later version.

Sorry for the late reply but GatorBait3 is 100% correct. 5.5.16 has a really nasty bug that got me too. I've been using 5.5.15 and 5.5.17 with no problems.
