Hi Matt:
Don't feel stupid. It use to work that way. When the ecommerce component
was moved to the specialpurpose directory, "they" changed the mount
point so that you have to type in ecommerce or some other application
name to get things to show up.
I agree that this is not only odd but really not very helpful.
Unfortunately, the focus of recent development has not been towards
making OFBiz more new user friendly. But don't despair - once you get
past all the ugly stuff, the underneath parts are really (still) rather
elegant.
Regards,
Ruth

Thanks for the quick response.
Java 1.5 is no longer available in repositories for Ubuntu 9.10, AFAIK.
Debian 5.0 offers either 1.5 or 1.6.
I did not type in /ecommerce, so now I feel stupid. I thought it used
to bring up a default page if you didn't specify, but maybe I am wrong.
It certainly seems odd to serve a BLANK page (no error/unconfigured page
like apache's "it works" page) by default. Any idea on the rationale
behind that?
Seems like both Opentaps and Neogia (when I looked at them a year ago or
so) threw up a default page with several apps accessible by a click from
there. Or maybe my mind is going...

Hi Matt:
I've been told several times that you only need Java 1.6 for a trunk
release.
I use Java 1.5 for everything I do including a recent (about 3 weeks
ago) download and verification of the 9.04 release.
Did you type in http://localhost:8080/ecommerce? or http://localhost:8080/

Trying to get ofbiz up and running as a new install, though this isn't
my first attempt (in the past, I got farther, but last attempt was a
year ago or more). Running under Debian 5.0 and Ubuntu 9.10 with
sun-java6-jdk installed from distribution repositories. Have downloaded
ofbiz 4.0, 9.04, and trunk, unpacking each into their default separate
directories under /opt.
With all three versions I see the same behavior. When I start them
using ./startofbiz.sh, they go through the verbose startup procedure
without apparent error (nothing in runtime/logs/error.log).
When I connect to localhost:8080, I see nothing. Blank page.
In runtime/logs/debug.log, there are some entries that read e.g.
"characters( )" and "Pushing body text ' ' " but with a lot
more spaces between the respective delimiters.
Any ideas or suggestions? Do I need to be running jdk 1.5 instead? I
saw conflicting instructions on that subject on the Net.
