Deepak: thanks very much. Actually, simply following the first of your
steps has solved the startup problem. I thought it might be a Tomcat
issue - serves a Tomcat newb right for assuming that <Host
name="localhost" .... would simply act as a DNS alias for another Host
at the same address ;-)
Thanks very much to all the others who helped too

I was also getting the same problem as described by Charles and Ganesh -
the same web-app was being deployed twice.
I did the following steps to stop this from happening -
1. I removed the default host from server.xml by removing the following
lines
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
</Host>
2. I moved the WAR file from the default location in tomcat ("webapps"
folder) to a different location; and added the WAR file explicitly in
server.xml.
<Host name="www.xyz.com"
appBase="/opt/servers/tomcat5.5/webappsPublic"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false"
debug="0"
reloable="false">
<Alias>
www.xyz.com
</Alias>
<Context path=""
docBase="magnoliaPublic"
reloadable="false"
swallowOutput="false"
debug="0"
/>
</Host>
<Host name="author.xyz.com"
appBase="/opt/servers/tomcat5.5/webappsAuthor"
unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false"
xmlNamespaceAware="false"
debug="0"
reloable="false">
<Alias>
author.xyz.com
</Alias>
<Context path=""
docBase="magnoliaAuthor"
reloadable="false"
swallowOutput="false"
debug="0"
/>
</Host>
By doing the above-mentioned steps, I was able to get rid of the problem
caused by twice deployment and I was also able to have author and public
on the same machine.
Let me know if you need any further details.
Cheers!

Hi Charles,
Are you using Tomcat as application server. If so , what David said is
the cause of lock error. This is because , If you have a look at your
server.xml and catlina.out log you can
see your application getting deployed twice. I have faced the same
problem. Then I have removed some default stuff in server.xml and it
started working fine for me.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Regards,
Ganesh.

Well thanks David, but I can assure you that I only installed one
Magnolia ;-) There *was* Jackrabbit (which worked fine) but I got rid
of it to prevent confusion.
Oh and once I accessed the repository from a Java app, but then that
was some time back

Ok ... deeper look at the log suggests you have two Magnolia
instances attempting to access the same repository. Maybe you've
inadvertently attempted to map the same webapp to two separate
contexts which would create this sort of double launch.

Thanks David.
I suspect that Magnolia is trying to create the lock file more than
once, since I delete the lock file and then restart Tomcat. No
change. Plain Jackrabbit doesn't seem to have any problems.

.lock file errors typically show up when tomcat is shutdown badly
because of a JVM crash, server crash, or tomcat was forcefully
closed w/ a kill command. If the last successful run of tomcat
died badly, just delete the .lock files and start tomcat. Things
will come back to life normally.

I'm using Debian Etch, Tomcat 6 and magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.4
I can't start the app since there seems to be an issue with a lock
file in the repository directory. I googled on the error string,
and although it seems to be a known issue, I couldn't see a clear
solution. How can I correct this?
