Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: Re: Intel mac - LAMS fails startup.

Hi Matt,

Downgrading your JAVA might not be a good idea, given that the LAMS v2.0 beta is coming out at the end of this month!

If you give me a day or two, I can check whether I can get java 1.4.2 and java 1.5 to coexist in a mac without causing major pain.

Thanks,

Ernie

Matt,

Can you have a look at this directory on your mac and let me know what versions are listed:

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/

I have a powerbook (PowerPC) and it seems that I have both 1.4.2 and 1.5 living together. However, I haven't run my LAMS 1.0.x in it for a long time, but it seems that it might be possible if I ensure that my LAMS 1.0.x is running java from the correct version 1.4.2.

Let me run some tests and get back to you.

Ernie

BTW, this is what I have in my /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions

Ernie,

cheers on the speedy communication. Great stuff.

my results are not dissimilar

drwxr-xr-x 8 root wheel 272 Apr 8 07:40 1.5.0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Jun 6 23:57 A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Jun 6 23:54 Current -> A
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Jun 6 23:54 CurrentJDK -> 1.5.0

given the symlinks, currentJDK aliases 1.5.0

maybe if currentJDK were to alias 1.4.2 but unsure i want to go there just yet given other dependencies.

cheers,
Matt

Changing symlink (ln -sf 1.4.2 currentJDK) made no difference to startup of LAMS. No worries - no need for speed. Looking forward to getting more involved as time goes on.

thanks for the help. If you have any other ideas happy to hear them, but am perfectly happy to wait a little for v2 beta as you suggest.

I think it will take a bit more than just the ln -sf, as the JAVA_HOME paths might be different. Let me have a poke with it to see if I can get this to work. It should be possible to add a few variables to the LAMS 1.0.x start script to declare the JAVA_* variables to be the 1.4.2 ones... let me play with it and see how I go. Give me a few days as we are going mad with getting LAMS 2.0 beta out of the door by the end of next week.

Cheers,

Ernie

Ernie,

greatly appreciated but please no need. I fully appreciate what it's like getting software out the door. Knowing that v2.0 is imminent I am more than happy to wait.

Matt,

On the Mac OSX Java FAQ page, I found out this:

2: Does Mac OS X support multiple J2SE versions on a single OS installation?

Mac OS X Tiger currently supports three major JDK versions (1.3.1, 1.4.2, 1.5.0). The standard command-line commands such as java and javac typically use the latest available version (1.5 in the case of Mac OS X Tiger). Apple developer tools such as Jar Bundler and Xcode both allow you to request a minimum or specific Java version for double-clickable apps to use. Please see the Java 1.4 Info.plist Dictionary Keys documentation for details on how this is done. End users can specify which version of Java should be used for applications and Applets using the Java Preferences Application located at /Applications/Utilities/Java/J2SE 5.0/Java Preferences.app.

That should do the trick. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Ernie

I set the Java Applet Runtime Settings and the Java Application Runtime Settings to use 1.4.2 but still no luck.
