[Attempto] need help getting ACE Wiki running

[Murray, William R]

Hi Tobias,

 

I think we're making progress. To be sure that we are in synch...

 

- Create "webapps.war" from the Attempto Java Packages by running "ant
createwebapps"

 

   No, I have not done this, instead just use the webapps.war file from
the zip file as I didn't have ant or experience using it.

 

- Copy "webapps.war" into "TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/"

 

  No, I hadn't done this either. Instead I copied the subdirectory
/webapps and its subfolders from the AceWiki folder to the TomCat
folder. Now with this new advice I instead copied the webapps.war file
after removing the previous subfolder and it works (!) ... sorta...see
below...

 

- Starting up Tomcat using "./startup.sh"

 

  I use startup.bat since I am on a Windows XP machine.

 

- Tomcat then automatically extracts "webapps.war" so that a new folder 

"TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/webapps/" is created

 

  Yes, this has happened: progress :)

 

- Accessing "http://localhost:8080/webapps/" through the browser shows
me then the links to the Attempto web applications

 

  Yes, this has happened: more progress :)

 

Have you done it the same way?

 

  As above, only with Tomcat 5.0.

 

Now the problems at this point. The web page with links:

 

Attempto Web Applications

 

Click here to enter the preditor example.

 

Click here to enter AceWiki.

 

Click here to enter the ACE Editor.

 

appears when I click "http://localhost:8080/webapps/" but each link
throws the exact same error.

 

I'll put the details of the stack trace in the PS of this message and
you can tell me what you recommend next. Thanks for your help I think
we'll get

there.

 

Bill

 

P.S. Here is what I get when I click on the AceWiki link:

The other links throw the same error.

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?

 

 

Tobias
