RE: Why are the files uploaded to /files invisible after TC4 restarted?

[Joerg Ritter <jo...@o-s-c.de>]

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem.
I think the problem is, before copying a file to the web folder, you 've to 
wait until tomcat "really" started.
So what's "really"? After starting tomcat I wait until the LOG-files under 
$TOMCAT_HOME/log don't change any more. If so you can start working with 
Slide. And than everything goes right with restarting and so on.
Seems to be a synchronization problem.

Joerg
