problem installing on tomcat 5

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

HELP!! Installing using the war. Seems to unpack OK. I created the database in mysql. When I run the install.jsp the images are not displayed (even though the images directory seems to have all the right stuff) and when I finish filling out the first page and hit next, the browser redirects to

http://www.myURL.com/jforum-2.1.8/install/install.page

There is no /install/install.page in the directory structure..and I am not sure what install.page is supposed to be.

I just tried a test install of 2.1.8 on Tomcat 5.5.26 (Linux server) and after filling out the install page (http://SERVERNAME:8080/jforum/install.jsp), I get forwarded to the validation page, http://SERVERNAME:8080/jforum/install/install.page;jsessionid=F42D8DDE244929F8C82432EF36468067 with no errors.

There is some servlet mapping in the xml file for the redirection locations, which is why you don't see an "install" directory.

I also had no problems seeing any images - have you verified permissions?
