Hi, I recently installed jakarta-slide-1.0.11 (binary distribution) onto an NT machine. I can access the WebDav server as a Web Folder. I can access slidedoc and the Tomcat Manager application. However, I don't think that slide is working properly. The examples appear to run OK in that the output seems correct. However, the examples run the same whether or not the CATALINA/TOMCAT is running. Using Web Folders and IE5.5, I can find no evidence that any content has been added. Using NetStat, I cannot see any evidence of a connection on ports 8080,8081 or 8082. The other thing that worries me about the slide service is the errors in the log file, localhost.log SlideHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path /slide from URL http://slideslide SlideHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path / from URL http://slideslide ... ContextConfig[/slide]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only ... Internal Error: File /WEB-INF/web.xml not found ... ContextConfig[]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only ... Internal Error: File /WEB-INF/web.xml not found Slide.war is in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps. I don't understand why the slide service is not installed from URL jar:file:D:\jakarta-slide-1.0.11\server\webapps\slide.war!/ and why web.xml cannot be found. I tried unloading slide and reloading using the above URL using the TOMCAT Manager service. This got rid of the error messages in localhost.log but I could notice no difference in behaviour. The other applications in webapps (slidedoc & manager) install without error. I'd be grateful for any advice Russell Thamm
