Re: help with LAS 6.0 installation

[Jonathan Callahan <callahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

The "Can't drop database" warning should not be a problem if this your
initial installation.

Taking a look at line 1187 from configure.pl:

if (system(qq{cd las_servlet && rm -rf WEB-INF && mkdir -p
WEB-INF/classes/ && cp src/las. properties WEB-INF/classes/ && $jar uf
las.war WEB-INF/classes/las.properties && rm -rf WEB-INF})){
    die "Error in updating las.war with las.properties";
}

I would suggest that you try issuing these commands one at a time,
replacing $jar with something like "/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java/jar". 
You can find out what java repository should be used from the
config.results file.  Look for $LasConfig{java}.

cd las_servlet
rm -rf WEB-INF
mkdir -p WEB-INF/classes/
cp src/las. properties WEB-INF/classes/
$jar uf las.war WEB-INF/classes/las.properties
rm -rf WEB-INF

This will tell you where things are failing which could point to
permission problems or something with java.

That's my best suggestion for the moment.
