Pointers for asking problem related questions on the list [Was: j2: http://localhost:8080/jetspeed yields blank page]

No, a blank page is not the expected result :-) Without any more information though we won't be able to help you. A few pointers I can give you: When asking about unexpected behavior it can be helpful in some cases to specify your general setup (Tomcat version, os, db, jdk etc.) Make sure to try out a *clean* setup, meaning (for J2) using only a default installed Tomcat (no other apps deployed), do a maven allClean before building J2, try it out using the default hsqldb database, etc. First thing to look into is the general server logfile: for Tomcat those can (by default) be found in $CATALINA_HOME/logs Next comes the J2 logfiles, especially the jetspeed.log: those are found under webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/logs If you find error messages, stacktraces etc. those usually give an indication whats wrong (no/invalid db connection, port in use, syntax errors in jsp files etc.) Then, if you still can't figure it out, check out the user or dev list and the wiki. Maybe someone else already had the same problem. If you can't find anything about your particular problem, not enough to solve it yourself, or just don't understand what it is all about, then feel free to post a question on the list. We will be glad to help you out in that case. Note: i'm new to apache community, and just coming up to speed with interactive facilities, so i also posted this to wiki, but then thought that this type of dialog may not be appropriate for wiki. any etiquette pointers welcome. In general: don't post questions on the wiki. Although there isn't a policy or kind, my personal opinion is that the wiki is best suited to be used as a knowledge base. Which can mean your problem *might* end up there, together with a solution (or if its really bad: as a know problem). If you have additional information which might help others though, please feel free to post it on the wiki, or on the list if you prefer.
