Installing Alfresco War File

[wcameron]

I am trying to install the alfresco war file using the tomcat deploy and web app start tasks.

I can get the alfresco war file successfully deployed but i cannot get the alfresco web application to start up successfully.

My configuration is:
Tomcat 5.5.17 (From liferay)
JDK 1.5
Liferay 4.1.13
PostgreSQL

I have modified the extension files appropriately.

Can anyone provide advice on how i can install this properly.

The first exception i get is: (there are loads more after this one)
