Just to let you know:
I just tried it with CentOS 5 too, without any success.
I tried it again with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no success (I spent over 12
hours, installing the whole server more than 5 times from scratch, searching
for infos, etc.)
Switched back, again, to Debian Etch, 30 min. later everything is up and
running.
Boy, freaking distro bunglers...

I would try to remove tomcat and install it from

virtualbox) with Debian Etch...
Sorry lacking in better ideas...

Hi all,
Thanks for your ideas. I'm using 'postgresql-jdbc3.jar', which shipped
with CentOS 5, in the /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib
directory. It has the correct permissions and ownership (the same as
all the other tomcat libs).
I just tried switching to using MySQL with the MySQL/j connector
instead - this gave the same result. So I'm thinking it's a Tomcat
problem.
I've also tried deleting the Xwiki webapp folder, and letting Tomcat
re-unpack it. Same result.
I can't see anything unusual in the Tomcat logs at all, unfortunately.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

The owner is varying from distribution to
distribution...sometimes
it's
tomcat55:nogroup (debian+ubuntu) or if you install tomcat from source,
whatever you have defined...
But Jean-Vincent is right, that could be an issue too.
