Re: [Makumba-user] Installation problems

[Gwenael A. <gw...@gm...>]

Buna Vlad,

Nice to see your interest! I hope that you will soon be able to see
the beautiful power of makumba in action.

Back to your troubles my first guess is that if you downloaded a
recent makumba jar, then running it with Tomcat5 (which brings you
JSP2.0 and Expression Language) is a step in the right direction.
Indeed requirements could maybe be better documented. From the
changelog.txt (* see below for the link):
      0.5.12; 27 aug 2004 cristi
      first version that only works with JSP 2.0
So if you really want to use tomcat 4, then you should use a makumba
version earlier than this one. On the other side Expression Language
and other continous improvements make the latest makumba even more
powerful.

I hope it helps a bit. I'm sure others will contribute if they have
other ideas and/or if you still face troubles. Good luck!

Regards,
Gwen

PS: probably unrelated, another requirement maybe not so well
documented is to use InnoDB tables when having MySQL as DB engine and
using Makumba post 0.5.10.4 (transactions added)
