WebGoat 5.0 on Ubuntu

Some days I love Ubuntu, some I friggin hate it. today I hate it.

WebGoat comes with a nifty little .sh script to check to make sure you have sun java 1.5x installed.

well, after installing sun java 1.5.x with synaptic finding the nifty directory its in "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun" then pasting that in the script it still took a dump giving me

Please set JAVA_HOME to a Java 1.5 JDK install or JVM Is not 1.5 errors.

so I just deleted all that check code, put export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/ at the top of the script and it now works...

cg@segfault:~/Desktop/WebGoat-5.0$ sudo ./webgoat.sh start80
Using CATALINA_BASE: ./tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME: ./tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: ./tomcat/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/

Open http://127.0.0.1/WebGoat/attack

Or try http://guest:guest@127.0.0.1/WebGoat/attack

Here is my new startup script

export CATALINA_HOME PATH
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/
