subsonic 404 error

[rlefig]

I am running ubuntu with tomcat5 using Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11

Tomcat seems to load fine see http://ww2.lefig.net:8180/, I have copied subsonic.war to /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps and it does create a subsonic directory with tomcat5 as the owner. But when i go to :8180/subsonic i get the following error

Status report

message /subsonic/

description The requested resource (/subsonic/) is not available.

Here is some output from /var/lib/tomcat5/logs/catalina_2007-10-03.log

But when I try and start it i get

FAIL - Application at context path /subsonic could not be started

tomcat_security = no resolves the issue

I run it on fc7 and after loading it about 4 times have now finally figured what issues are encountered with java/subsonic and permissions.

First you have to play with the variables that point to which java is used. Your error you're seeing is typically caused because the jdk is actually picking up and using an environment variable pointing to 1.4 and not the 1.5 you installed and configured. FC7 uses the debian based alternatives to source system links to java and that is where my issues were at. the jdk_home variable was pointing to 1.4 and when I used alternatives commands to add the 1.5 jdk folder and then pointed alternatives there it all works.

You must also make sure that 777 is set on the /var/subsonic folder as well. Never played with ubuntu as I learned the redhat system and got my rhce and just stick with what I know now. I tried debian and its too purist and difficult to install and navigate for me. I can dabble in any of the distros that broke off redhat like mandriva, suse, and such and get by but the debians throw me hard.

i get 404 subsonic/index.view not available.
turning security off didn't help, altiernatives
and JAVA_HOME both checked.

any ideas?


debian testing
subsonic 3.2 stable
tomcat 5.5
java 6 update 3
