Chris, Which version of the installer are you using? Is it the one I posted as an Alpha test or the one I released later as a bug fix. You indicated that there are several instances of the WEB-INF directory and that indicates that it's the earlier version. I fixed that particular issue (multiple WEB-INF directories) when I released the later version of the installer.
This may have something to do with what's happening here. I made several configuration tweaks in the latest version - although I must admit I've never encountered what's happening with you. I still suspect it's a configuration issue, however. I know having the main web site files separate from the "webapps" directory was one of the main goals of the installer project. I know it works too, as I've deployed it on a few different servers now - namely, we're developing Vivio's updated site on one of them. The most recent version of the installer can be found here: http://openbd.viviotech.net/ in the "installer" directory. or direct: http://openbd.viviotech.net/downloader.cfm/id/48/file/openbd_rhel.sh Is that the one you're using? Thanks Chris.
