problems getting setup
Hi,
I am trying to update the cocoon website, following roughly the
instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonWebsiteUpdate. I've
got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly.
When doing "forrest" from the root site directory i get :
d:\src\cocoon-site>forrest
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options
Buildfile: d:\tools\apache-forrest-0.6\src\core\forrest.build.xml

Any pointers ?

Would you try this test please: cd somewhere mkdir my-test; cd my-test forrest seed forrest ... that will determine that your forrest installation is okay. -David

All i did was unzip forrest-0.6, set FORREST_HOME, added FORREST_HOME/bin to the path. I can't even run forrest -projecthelp, keep getting the same error. d:\temp\testforrest>forrest seed Apache Forrest.

Re: directory listing & batch file invocation
OK, after looking at the examples and the Coccon wiki page for the DirectoryGenerator, I got my directory listing to somewhat work. Here is the my basic sitemap.xmap entry: The xsl is basically the stylesheet from the Cocoon wiki. It converts the directory listings to html tags. The problems I am having with it are: 1. The raw html tags are being displayed. I thought I saw a FAQ on this somewhere, but I could not find it again. I also tried the html serializer, but I got a DTD error. 2. I am losing the rest of the Forrest site (tabs, menus, etc.). I think I have to aggregate this, correct? Any pointers? Also, I'm still working on implementing the full Jetty server.

That last 1.5 lines are remnants of the forrest.bat shell script that invokes forrest. I wonder if the parameters for the call are getting corrupted on your system. Sorry, someone else might have ideas. Now i just tried building cocoon-site using forrest-0.7 and it does work. I had expected that customisations would be required. The only trouble is when you commit the generated site, there will be more changes than were expected. Subsequent updates would be fine. We can update the wiki page to say to use 0.7 to build cocoon-site. However, i don't know what is happening with the cocoon-2.1 docs anymore. If it is important to publish those, then i could try to investigate. -David
Re: directory listing & batch file invocation
Just an update. I got the html serializer working (the html was malformed) and the html now renders. I believe the rest of the issues relate to my not understanding xmaps. Now on to understanding aggregates... -Lou [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/09/2005 12:14:42 PM: > > OK, after looking at the examples and the Coccon wiki page for the > DirectoryGenerator, I got my directory listing to somewhat work. > Here is the my basic sitemap.xmap entry: > > > > > > > > stylesheets}/dir2html.xsl" /> > > > > > The xsl is basically the stylesheet from the Cocoon wiki.

Sorry, someone else might have ideas. > I just found out what was wrong : i had FORREST_HOME set to d:\tools\forrest\scr\core\ , removing the trailing backslash made everything work. I've been bitten by trailing slashes in env variables a few times before, it always amazes me how they are able to completely wreck good software and make it display errors nobody has ever seen before. oh well :( Jorg
