Installation Trouble

• Here's what I did with the instructions:
  
• I unzipped the .war file into the prescribed Tomcat webapps/ops
• I did not move xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar because it says that step is for Tomcat 5.x, and I don't see an "endorsed" folder.
  
• I restarted Tomcat
• The Tomcat manager has no sign of the Orbeon application, and http://localhost:8080/orbeon/ gives me a 404 error.
• Here's an alternative I tried:
• I deployed the .war file through the Tomcat manager page
• http://localhost:8080/orbeon/ allowed me to load forms, but they gave me errors when I did anything that hits the server.

Hello everyone,

I had trouble following the instructions for installing Orbeon under Tomcat. I'm using Tomcat 6.0.16, and the instructions are for Tomcat 5.x.

Does Orbeon not work with Tomcat 6? Did I do something wrong?

Thanks for any help,

BTW, I just tried to literally "Unzip orbeon.war in the ops directory" (as opposed to my original interpretation of unzipping the war file from the distribution zip file into the ops directory), and that doesn't work any better.

You can try a nightly build from here and see if that helps:

Thanks, Erik. I did get that working with FF 3b5

• XForms Bookcast -- "load sample data" gives me "Exception in client-side code.

I spoke too soon. The following examples don't work for me:

• XForms Bookcast -- "load sample data" gives me "Exception in client-side code.
      * Message: element is null
      * File: http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-server/xforms-min.js
