Hello,

please use Tomcat 7 as stated in the documentation, as I know that some people already had major problems with Tomcat 6 (don't know about the specifics, but only way to get it to work was using Tomcat 7). With regards to MySQL, I'd advice to use MySQL 5.5, but don't know for sure wether 5.1 isn't still supported.

Regards
Axel

I agree with the advice to stick with the tested versions.

However, I'm running 4.2 on tomcat 6 without problems. What 4.2 requires is Java 7, that bit is non negotiable. Likewise the version of MySql should not matter.
