[Sergiu Dumitriu (JIRA)]

Sergiu Dumitriu closed XE-144.
------------------------------

      Assignee: Sergiu Dumitriu
    Resolution: Won't Fix

This is caused by the default java vm installed in Fedora. Just replacing a symlink does not mean switching to the Sun JDK.

>                 Key: XE-144
>                 URL: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-144
>             Project: XWiki Enterprise
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Build & Packaging
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.2
>         Environment: - Fedora 7 (Linux version 2.6.22.9-91.fc7)
> - java 5 
>   - jre-1.5.0_14-fcs from Sun
>   - I overwrote the /etc/alternatives/java softlink to point to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_14/bin/java
>   - JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_14/
> - tomcat5 5.5.23 
>   - yum install tomcat5
> - mysql 5.0.45
>   - yum install mysql mysql-server

> Steps taken
> - extracted xwiki-web-standard-1.1.2.war in /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/xwiki
> - http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationTomcat mentions an issue with the java security manager.  I searched all files in $CATALINA_HOME and /etc, but none of them contained a string TOMCAT5_SECURITY
> I found Stefan's suggestion on http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-348, and as there isn't a /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/ directory, I edited  /etc/tomcat5/catalina.policy and added these lines at the bottom:
> // These permissions apply to xwiki
> grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/xwiki/-" {
>         permission java.security.AllPermission;
> };
> - found the remark stating that "If you are installing in a linux/unix environment you have to setup the xwiki.upload.tempdir parameter as explained in the JIRA entry (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-530) before importing anything into XWiki.", but I couldn't find *where* I should define this parameter.  As it only comes into play when you need to upload larger files, I decided to go ahead for the time being
> - set up mysql as per http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL
> - the mysql database tests ok
> - connector file = http://www.mysql.com/products/connector/j/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5.tar.gz
> - WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml already had an entry for mysql that could be uncommented, and I started off with that one.
> - verified that xwiki.cfg has a xwiki.store.hibernate.path=/WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml entry
> when I start tomcat, catalina.out reports:
> 15-Nov-07 12:14:55 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
> SEVERE: Error in dependencyCheck
