jforum / oracle manual install - error

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

I couldn't get the installation wizard to run, so I did a manual installation.

We're running on port 8888

Browsing to http://my.server.name:8888/jforum produces the following:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet jforum threw exception

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Well, oddly enough. After rereading all of the pertinent doc, and deciding again that we had done everything properly, I simply went back and tried to access the URL again (unchanged) and now it's working just fine.

Weird.
