That is the Velocity Site Howto you are reading and I don't think it explains 
things very thoroughly and is perhaps even a little out of date:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/velocity-site-howto.html
It serves as more of an introduction document to the Turbine/Velocity 
combination, but is not a great tutorial.

The best way to get started with Turbine is to read this document, the TDK 
Howto:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/tdk/tdk-howto.html

Check the turbine.log file and the velocity.log file in the "logs" directory 
of your webapp.  Are there any exceptions or errors in the logs?
