I am sorry I haven't pitched in today. It's been busy. I do carry a bias, but I think you've chosen a FANTASTIC technology to learn. Don't fret. The administration stuff on any server technology can be confusing to the newbie, but the MarkLogic community is very helpful and there are plenty of folks who can help you get back on course. It's great that you have the server reinstalled and functioning.
It sounds to me that you are getting the "Forbidden" page because you don't have any files in your root modules database of your site. I am assuming you are trying your application on :8005 If that is not where you're getting that, can you tell us which port and what exactly you see? Perhaps use Jing to get a screen cap and post the link in this thread or something ( http://jingproject.com) What I always do with a new install is focus on :8000 and :8001 at the outset. :8000 is the default web application that ML creates on install. It uses the filesystem as the modules database and the directory is under C:\your-path-to-marklogic\Docs. By default, when you go to http://localhost:8000, you'll get a "use cases" tool that has code samples, etc. If you replace the default.xqy file with something else, you'll see that change. If you are getting the forbidden error on an application server you created, like on port 8005, you need to look at where the application is set to look for the modules database and put some content there. It could be as simple as making a text file that you look for by http://localhost:8005/foo.txt or you could place an html or xqy page there and get it to do something besides reporting forbidden. That modules database setting is found by logging into the admin application on http://localhost:8001 under the application servers. You should see an application server running on that port and the details will show where the modules database is. Something that could help us better understand what you've set up would be screen captures of your admin page with the listings of applications or just explaining what ports have what happening when you try to get there. Another common issue is that if you're using Microsoft Internet Exploder, you need the http:// when using localhost. Just using localhost:8000 will give an error. Hope this helps a bit. Keep at it. The more info you can post about what you've tried/are trying, the better. On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 8:56 PM, Mary Astarita <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions.
