The dhis live is targeted at the ignorant and you are too wise! In a nutshell it does not use DHIS2_HOME (and should ignore it if is there) and it is designed to use an exploded war in the webapps/dhis directory (exploding the war was too costly on startup time). I have been poor in documenting (partly because few people seemed interested at the start though I see that is changing) but I think Jason has now done some outstanding work in packaging and documenting. Does that help? I suspect your problem is that there is no exploded dhis.war in the webapps/dhis directory. Funny message from jetty though. Perhaps it is agnostic about whether it finds a war or a directory. But you do have to put it there yourself (though I think Jason's changes do this as well now).
