I believe the problem may be associated with some incompatibility with the xerces xml libraries and Java 6 with Tomcat 6.

Our standard installation uses Tomcat 5.5 and Java 5 (JRE or JDK 1.5.12).

I would try installing this combination and see if the problem resolves.

Please keep us posted on how you go.

Hi I have downloaded openvpms to show it to a friend who is looking for a software for her Veterinary Practice in South Africa. I have however not been able to run it localy.

Tried instalation on Windows XP SP 2 virtual machine, Mysql 5.0, JDK 6ud6, tomcat 6.0, openvpms 1.1 Kubuntu 7.10, mysql 5 , java and tomcat of update site Ubuntu 8.04, mysql, tomcat and java off update site

The instalation I have managed to achieve without error mesages, although the shell scripts for linux did give some hassles, I eventualy ran the comands dirrectly from the prompt

I have attached the error message I get when I try and access the site from my Browser. The messages look the smae in all 3 systems although I have not been through them line by line

Any hints? I presume I am leaving some crucial small step out of the instalation
