Greetings,

I followed the intro-install.html directions for Orbeon Forms on getting things going on Apache Tomcat (TomCat6 on a linux Ubuntu 9.10-desktop-i386 install). Tomcat is working as is its web manager application and all the Java Servlet and JSP examples. All good there.  I used the Tomcat manager app to deploy the Orbeon Forms dev-3.7.1.200905272119 WAR file and it installed it to var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/orbeon in this case.

However, when I try to start the application through the web application manager I get the following error message:

Message:   FAIL - Application at context path /orbeon could not be started

I also have a usr/share/tomcat6 directory where all the jar files are located in the /lib directory there.

Did my orbeon WAR get deployed to the correct location, is there potentially a problem there that could account for the error message I have recieved?  For instance I can't account for a path where the /mananger or /examples (that work by the way) are installed.  Should /orbeon be in the same place they are located wherever that may be?

I'm a linux newb and don't have a full picture in my head on places things can get tucked away.

Related the install guide mentions:

With Tomcat 5, move xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar from common/endorsed to server/lib. This way Xerces will be available to Tomcat, but it won't override the version of Xerces and standard XML APIs that comes with Orbeon Forms.

Does anyone know if this applies to Tomcat 6 as well as those particular jar files do not seem to be present in  var/lib/tomcat6 or usr/share/tomcat6 paths.

Regards
