Hello y=E2=80=99all,

I=E2=80=99m trying to install the latest version of Roller on Tomcat =
11.0.8 and getting the following error at startup:

09-Jun-2025 20:42:00.658 INFO [main] java.util.ArrayList.forEach Name =3D =
rollerdb Ignoring unknown property: value of "jdbc/roller" for =
"mappedName=E2=80=9D property

Does Roller work with the latest version of Tomcat? I=E2=80=99m using =
Java 17 on macOS Sequoia. I created a roller-custom.properties in =
WEB-INF/classes. The guide never seems to specify where this file should =
go, but ChatGPT helped me out. Do I need to add a JDBC driver to =
WEB-INF/lib as well?=20

I also noticed that the install guide has back ticks in the MySQL =
commands when it should have single quotes.=20

mysql> grant all on rollerdb.* to scott@`%' identified by `tiger';

mysql> grant all on rollerdb.* to scott@localhost identified by `tiger';
=
https://github.com/apache/roller/blob/roller-6.0.x/docs/roller-install-gui=
de.adoc#51-create-a-database-for-roller

I=E2=80=99m using MySQL 9.3.0 and I had to use the following command for =
things to work.=20

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rollerdb.* TO 'scott'@'localhost=E2=80=99;

Cheers,

Matt=
