[Anthill] Pagelets not installed?

[Dan Crow]

Varban, yes that was my first thought as well. I deleted the pagelets 
directory after switching from JVM 1.5.0 back to 1.4.2 - which is the 
version I want to standardize on.

Just to check, I shutdown Tomcat, deleted the pagelets directory and 
restarted Tomcat. The pagelets directory gets recreated and the same 
error occurs. Most baffling. I checked the process that is running 
Tomcat and its using the correct JVM: 1.4.2_09

Has anyone run into this problem before? Any suggestions for a fix 
gratefully received.

Thanks,

Dan
