Re: [xwiki-users] New install problem: 404 from Tomcat

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.
