Installation Problem existing tomcat

stuf
When I'm trying to install alfresco on my existing tomcat installation, it won't work. (Gentoo linux)

This is what I did:
- Copied the alfresco.war file to the webapps folder of my tomcat
- Copied the mysql-connecter from the libs directory to the libs of my tomcat
- Used the tomcat manager to deploy the war file
- installed the mysql database

When I try to start the webapp, tomcat tells me that he couldn't start it.

And when I surf to the alfresco url http://localhost:8080/alfresco I get a 404 page.

Does somebody know where the problem is?

Could you provide error messages or logs please - that will help diagnosis. Thanks.

Ok, suddenly it seems to work :?

But now I have another problem.

I was following the manual that is shipped with the installation.
I created the two spaces (user and projects), but they don't appear when I want to add a new user. I can only chose Company Home …

NVM: SOLVED

Hey all,

As with 'stuf' I have installed alfresco into an existing tomcat5 installation. When I try and start the application from the tomcat manager application it fails with the following log file is created in the tomcat logs:

Do I need to install the Spring Framework (et al) in order to have it work?

Any help would be apreciated… alfresco looks very cool.
