- Start Tomcat and wait a few minutes. Magnolia will take a while for
bootstrapping the repository.
Not version 3.5.4 -- it has the nifty new install/update mechanism that
doesn't start until you enter the site and start it yourself. All that
happens on startup in the newest version is the repositories are
initialized.
- Remove (don't rename) the Magnolia war file from the /webapps folder
That's dependent on the config of your tomcat. It can be configured to
not expand war archives in the webapps directory. In that case, there
won't be a companion magnoliaAuthor folder in the webapps directory to
leave behind. Either way, ServletContext.getRealPath() returns null if
magnolia is started from a .war file which is I suspect how magnolia
figures out where it is on the filesystem. One of the devs is welcome
to correct me if I'm wrong on that front though.

Do the following with a clean Tomcat installation:

- Once started stop Tomcat
- Remove (don't rename) the Magnolia war file from the /webapps folder
- Restart Tomcat
- Open Browser and launch the Magnolia Admin Central
(http://localhost:8080/magnoliaAuthor (or whatever name your
Magnolia instance has)

The problem I run into is that Tomcat will extract the .war and
Magnolia will bootstrap the repositories. This means that on the next
startup, the Magnolia web app and the .war file are not the same.

Thank you for your help.

If you renamed your downloaded magnolia from magnolia-bundled-
webapp-3.5.4.war to magnolia.war, the webapp's context will be
magnolia, not magnoliaAuthor.
http://md-lamp:8180/magnolia/.magnolia
Also check your tomcat logs if that doesn't help.

Hi All!
I just installed Tomcat 5.5 and Magnolia on an Ubuntu Server
(7.10) with Apache 2. Tomcat is working fine, near as I can tell.
The Web Application Manager works, for example.
I downloaded the WAR file and used the Deploy function (I used
magnolia-bundled-webapp-3.5.4.war and renamed it to magnolia.war).
For the record, I deployed it using
http://mylamp:8180/manager/deploy?path=/magnoliaAuthor&war=file:/home/administrator/magnolia.war
TomCat Manager does show that magnoliaAuthor is installed but I
cannot start it. When I try to start it, I get the error: FAIL -
Application at context path /magnoliaAuthor could not be started.
And yes, I have the JDK installed (sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-13-0ubuntu1
is the package installed).
I then try to go to http://md-lamp:8180/magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia
(that's what's in the readme) and http://md-lamp:8180/
magnoliaAuthor/ (which is what was documented on a page on the
net) and neither work. I get this error message:
HTTP Status 404 - /magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia
type Status report
message /magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia
description The requested resource (/magnoliaAuthor/.magnolia) is
not available.
One last point. I also tried installing this manually (the doc
page I found said to copy the way into the webapps folder, start
up Tomcat and it would bootstrap the application) with the same
success.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
