David,

OK, here is what I have found. I checked the Tomcat5.5 webapp/magnolia folder and found that all the files are there. The war file is totally unzipped there.

In TomCat5.5 manager, Magnolia is listed as an installed application but it is not listed as running. I cannot start it either.

When I go into http://md-lamp:8180/magnolia/.magnolia, I still get the same error.

Still scratching my head here... Could there be something wrong with Tomcat? I don't think so because I can use the manager application but I am a total newbie at this... if there is a test you can suggest I run, I will do so.

Menachem

I'm reasonably sure if you customized you magnolia to write the repositories and logs folder outside the webapp, it would.

Wow. I had no idea. (Docs said otherwise).

Let me try that and get back to you.

THANKS FOR THE TIP!

Oh! .... (light bulb shows up above my head) ... Magnolia is designed to run as an expanded archive out of the box, not a war file. Unzip the war file and upload that to your tomcat server. On first start it needs to create a logs and repositories folder in the top level of the webapp. That can't happen if it's deployed as a war archive.

I had tried that. I have confirmed in Tomcat that the context is magnoliaAuthor (it renames the war file and then installs it).

I just tried starting it again and got the error. Here are the only logs I see in /var/logs/tomcat5.5

Thank you for your help.

If you renamed your downloaded magnolia from magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.4.war to magnolia.war, the webapp's context will be magnolia, not magnoliaAuthor.

http://md-lamp:8180/magnolia/.magnolia

Also check your tomcat logs if that doesn't help.

Hi All!

I just installed Tomcat 5.5 and Magnolia on an Ubuntu Server (7.10) with Apache 2. Tomcat is working fine, near as I can tell. The Web Application Manager works, for example.

I downloaded the WAR file and used the Deploy function (I used magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.4.war and renamed it to magnolia.war). For the record, I deployed it using http://mylamp:8180/manager/deploy?path=/magnoliaAuthor&war=file:/home/administrator/magnolia.war

TomCat Manager does show that magnoliaAuthor is installed but I cannot start it. When I try to start it, I get the error: FAIL - Application at context path /magnoliaAuthor could not be started.

And yes, I have the JDK installed (sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-13-0ubuntu1 is the package installed).

I then try to go to http://md-lamp:8180/magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia (that's what's in the readme) and http://md-lamp:8180/magnoliaAuthor/ (which is what was documented on a page on the net) and neither work. I get this error message:

HTTP Status 404 - /magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia
type Status report
message /magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia
description The requested resource (/magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia) is not available.

One last point. I also tried installing this manually (the doc page I found said to copy the way into the webapps folder, start up Tomcat and it would bootstrap the application) with the same success.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
