[Attempto] need help getting ACE Wiki running

[Tobias Kuhn]

Hi Bill,

Ok, let's see...

First of all, I made a mistake in my previous message. "http://localhost:8080/webapps/" is not the 
default URL for web applications in general. It is just the default URL for a web application called 
"webapps.war" as the one that can be created out of the Attempto Java Packages.

To make sure we talk about the same things, this is how I made it run under Tomcat 5.5:
- Create "webapps.war" from the Attempto Java Packages by running "ant createwebapps"
- Copy "webapps.war" into "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/"
- Starting up Tomcat using "./startup.sh"
- Tomcat then automatically extracts "webapps.war" so that a new folder 
"TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/webapps/" is created
- Accessing "http://localhost:8080/webapps/" through the browser shows me then the links to the 
Attempto web applications

Have you done it the same way?
