open-xchange-admin.log.0 not created

[schade]

hi,
following the installation guide for opensuse, I tried to install open-xchange.
It stopped at "createcontext ...", saying:
context 1 could not be created;
Server response:
Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorEx ception (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled).
In another thread I found this message as saying that rights for the database ox.. were missing.
In my mysql, a database with "ox" does not exist at all.
I suppose it should have been created by "createcontext".
Like in the other forum, I wanted to see the exact error message in "/var/log/open-xchange/open-xchange-admin.log.0", but this file does also not exist.
I uninstalled all "open-xchange..log4j...rpm"-packages with yast and started apache2 and open-xchange-groupware again.
Afterwords, "createcontext" delivers the same error message, and open-xchange-admin.log.0 or any similar file would still not be created.
Can anybody tell me how to approach the problem(s)?
Thanks in advance, Gerald Schade

Hi Gerald,

could you try to use a supported Java VM? Either SUN or IBM Java 1.5 or 1.6

Greetings

[Carsten Hoeger]

Please remove the log4j bundles:

bundlename: org.apache.commons.logging.log4j status: RESOLVED

[schade]

solved

hi Martin,
I tried to install the last SUN-Java from "...tar.gz" but didn't find if and where to put the "CLASSPATH"-variable for open-xchange?,

hi Carsten,
I thought I already had put away all log4j-bundles by uninstalling them with rpm, and thought "RESOLVED" meant they were not working?,

but: I found my main mistake seemed to be trying to install open-xchange without opening my pre-existing mysql, instead manually creating the user "openexchange" and its rights, apparently faulty.
So after a complete uninstall of open-xchange, temporarily zeroing "root" 's password in mysql, a new install worked and the missing admin-log-File did no longer bother me.
Later on, at another small error, the file was suddenly created!

Thany You very much for Your help and efforts, Gerald
