Do you really get a tomcat error from http://localhost/ ? That sounds like some proxying problem... if http://localhost/ is not the Django app, that would cause some issues for GeoServer trying to retrieve user info. I would recommend reviewing your apache proxy/mod_wsgi configuration.
http://docs.geonode.org/1.0-RC3/logging.html may be of use to you. You should also have some basic error reporting from mod_wsgi in /var/log/apache2/error_log . -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 12:41 PM, Joanne Cook <[email protected]>wrote: > Dear All, > > I am attempting to deploy Geonode, using the most recent Release Candidate > (RC4), using the instructions here: > http://docs.geonode.org/1.0-RC3/deploy/ubuntu.html > > As far as I can tell (which isn't saying much), all the steps have > completed correctly.
