just wanted to mention to folks responsible for maintaining documentation at:

http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/getting-started-installer.html

in case they wanted to account for the following situation:

i followed the directions and got a 404: The requested resource (/jetspeed/portal) is not available.

when hitting http://localhost:8080/jetspeed/portal

turns out i was inadvertently running tomcat out of a previous install directory because
when i ran:

c:\Program Files\Apache Jetspeed 2.0\bin\startup.bat

i wasn't in the above bin directory and it bailed indicating that CATALINA_HOME had to be defined.

i defined CATALINA_HOME to point to my existing tomcat installation directory, and the startup.bat ran successfully, but of course it was running tomcat out of my existing install,
which didn't have the jetspeed webapps present.

if CATALINA_HOME *is not* defined and you run from the jetspeed bin dir, then startup does the right thing, if CATALINA_HOME is defined to point to an existing install, then startup will not behave as expected.

i would recommend comments in the getting started document to indicate to either:

(a) insure that CATALINA_HOME isn't defined and run startup from the jetspeed bin dir, or

(b) if CATALINA_HOME is defined to point it to the jetspeed install dir
