I am very new to Linux so excuse my ignorance! I am having a nightmare trying to get jive messenger server running on a Mandriva machine. I keep getting the following:

Jive Messenger Set-up

Error: Can not proceed with Jive Messenger Setup.

Your current installation fails to meet minimum Jive Messenger requirements - please see the check-list below:

At least JDK 1.5

Servlet 2.3 Support

JSP 1.2 Support

Jive Messenger Classes

Home not found. Define system property “messengerHome” or create and add the messenger_init.xml file to the classpath

Please read the installation documentation and try setting up your environment again. After making changes, restart your appserver and load this page again.

I have looked at the other posts that report this problem but they have not helped much!

Any help would be greatly received.

Thanks…

Got it working now - not sure what I did! Problem I have now is that I cannot access the admin console. When I put it the server IP and port into the browser it just reports that setup has already run and to log onto the Jive admin console here (has a hyperlink) - but when I click the link it just takes me back to the same page!

Got past this problem by just stopping and starting the server a couple of times! Its an xfile I guess! Thanks for your reply
