10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

Created new XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 compliant Theme

You're looking at it right now! Click on the W3C icons on the bottom right to verify compliance.

Roller installed successfully!

I finally got this application installed at my ISP (kgbinternet.com). As an FYI, here are the issues I experienced while installing.

  1. I had to copy WEB-INF/lib/jaxrpc.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib.
  2. I was getting the following error on Linux/Tomcat 4.0.3:

    2002-07-31 13:28:12 ROLLER> PersistenceException getting database connection
    [org.exolab.castor.jdo.DatabaseNotFoundException: The JNDI
    name java:comp/env/jdbc/rollerdb does not map to a JDBC DataSource]
    
    ... and since I was able to reproduce this on WinXP/Tomcat 4.0.3, I upgraded to 4.0.4 at my ISP. BTW, they let ME do this - very cool ;-)
  3. Then I was getting the following error:

    TyrexDataSourceFactory:  Cannot create DataSource, Exception
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hsql.jdbcDriver
    
    ... so I sent a message to the Keith at kgbinternet - a couple of hours ago - and I don't know if he did anything, but I'm posting on the working app as we speak!
