Re: AW: Windows Installation: System error

Hi Felix,

the anthill.registry file should not be empty. Try populating it with the 
content bellow and try starting tomcat again:

################################################################################
# Configuration of the Log4j module
################################################################################
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.class = 
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapters.Log4jAdapter
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.configurator = PropertyConfigurator
com.urbancode.lib.butler.adapter.log4j.propertyFile = log4j.configuration
# default anthill url
anthill.server = http://localhost:8080/anthill/
anthill.lock.version.file = on

anthill.ant.home = lib/ant1.6.2
anthill.repository.adapter = 
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.CVSRepositoryAdapter

anthill.mail.host = 192.168.2.203
anthill.mail.from = anthill@localhost
anthill.version.adapter = 
com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.UrbanCodeVersionAdapter
anthill.work.dir = work
anthill.projects.dir = projects
anthill.publish.dir.default = publishDir
anthill.dependency.target = dependency
anthill.dependency.artifact.property = dependency.artifact.dir



Also make sure that the permissions on the file allow the user running tomcat 
to read it. 

Regards,
Varban
