Thanks.
I was able to get jetspeed installed and working. Now I am having something
weird happen.
I setup my properties file to point to the proper locations. I can run
build.sh war and it works fine. The ant tutorial-1 command worked as well. I
can also run ant deploy from the jportal directory. However, I compared the
directories and files , which were deployed to tomcat/webapps/jportal, to the
to the ones in the jportal source that I use to create the war file (in dev/
jportal/blah-blah). For some reason the deployed files are different from
the source I used to create the war file with. They are identical to the
jetspeed deployment. Therefore, my jetspeed portal and jportal tutorial are
identical. None of the changes in the tutorial have taken place in the
deployed jportal tutorial application. The gif files are not the proper
files from the tutorial either and none of the property files from the
tutorial exist on the deployed app.
What could cause this to happen and how can I fix it? Thanks.
