Hello Oliver, Thank you for your attempt to help and for the suggestion. However, you'll note from earlier in this thread that I referenced those same instructions. Unless there were recent changes to the sling baseline (i.e., within the past 24 hours) related to webapp deployment, then I would expect to run into the same problems I've had when following those steps.
That is to say, I have indeed started from scratch multiple times and followed those instructions -- but upon deployment it reports an error that "org.apache.sling.launchpad.base.jar" cannot be found. When I get past that problem (by setting sling.home in the web.xml file to a directory where said file is located), it deploys without error but returns 404.
