Unable to Login to SAC Now?

[BigBirdy]

For some reasons I can no longer log in to the SAC console. I get the login box, I can type in the corrent id and password and then it just sits there with "Attempting to login" and thats where it stays?

Output from caa.log:

I hope this is not the result to my post from yesterday?

[BigBirdy]

I didnt see the post, but I have now resolved the problem. Had upgraded to jdk 1.5, and so reverted back to 1.42 and this solved it.

[aaronjstanley]

So, what is the definitive answer as to the required version of the JDK?

In the release notes for the Scalix C.E. it repeats the warning from the Fedora Core 4 release notes:
Fedora Core 4 users are advised not to use the Java RPM provided by Sun. It contains Provides that conflict with names used in packages provided as part of Fedora Core 4. Because of this, Sun Java might disappear from an installed system during package upgrade operations.
Fedora Core 4 users should use either the RPM from jpackage.org or manually install the Sun Java tarball into /opt. Sun Java 1.5+ is recommended for stability purposes.

However, I have tried to install Scalix with JDK1.5.0_5 and can not open the SAC page.
I read on this site that it absolutely requires a 1.4 version of the java sdk.

Is that so?

What versions of Java are people successfully using? What method are the using to install java on FC4? JPackage? RPM? Manually copying and linking?

Thank you..

i usually use 1.4.2_09, sdk, downloaded from java.sun.com as a rpm and that has always worked.

starting with the next release of scalix, we'll be supporting 1.5.

Success!
I have a successful Scalix deployment on RHEL 3 with the lates RHN patches applied.
I had to install the Sun J2SDK manually, instead of the RPM version.
The RPM version gets overwriten when you do an update from the RHN.
I followed the instructions on the Fedora Forums site for installing java on Fedora Core 4.

Thank you all for your help.
