Jira deployment dependency errors

Question

Trying to install my first Jira-5.0 on Debian Linux with Tomcat6.  The following is the start of a dependency error stream in catalina.out.  Any suggestions on what's missing and how to fix it?

Thanks for the tip on memory.  I found out swap hadn't been initialized or mounted.  So I was trying to load Jira in 8meg.  I'm surprised it got so far.  I'll try again after correcting the problem when I get home.  Thank you so much for responding -- it helps a great deal even if the answer isn't included (though this time it certainly was).

Hi,

Not that nobody cares, probably more that people haven't come across this error before. There was a similar problem posted at https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/18327/unzipped-jira-stand-alone-initial-application-start-plugins-setup-errors-results-in-lock and that seemed to be down to not enough resources for JIRA to start properly. How much RAM is on the machine running JIRA and how much is allocated to the JVM - http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Increasing+JIRA+Memory ?

Does that help?

Any other errors in the logs?

Andrew.

Hmm, can someone please help me?  I'm a bit lost here.  Is there more information that needs to be provided, or just nobody cares?
