Question about deploy to Tomcat

I have been reading file:  
http://incubator.apache.org/connectors/how-to-build-and-deploy.html#Running+ManifoldCF

If I am reading this correctly, it seems that the Database 
initialization is completely manual, and does not happen at MCF startup 
time.  Is this correct?

The standalone instance does not seem to work for me, and apparently 
neither does deploying this to Tomcat.

Remember that you also need to start the Agent process in order to run 
MCF (easy to forget), although this does not seem to be the case here.

I presume you're running PostgreSQL? It can be hard to configure this 
database system due to many access settings in pg_hba.conf file. If 
PostgreSQL is running on the same box, try to access the database from 
another application, e.g. pgAdmin. Also remember that you need to 
install the MCF tables.

It sounds like something is wrong with database communication.  What
database are you using, and are there any exceptions in the Tomcat
logs pertaining to ManifoldCF?  I bet there are.

Hi Michael,

I too am having trouble getting MCF with tomcat to work successfully, if get it completed il be sure to reply with details on how I got it to work.

What happened for me, I followed the steps several times on the how-to page. when in my browser I could open up the main MCF page, but if I clicked on any of the links (output, repository, job,etc) it would just open a blank page. It would be the mcf-crawler-ui layout but there would be nothing displayed apart from the default template. Did you have something similar?

Cheers,

Adam.

Yes - there is an example set of steps listed in the
how-to-build-and-deploy page.  This is necessary because of the
multiprocess nature of the model.

The standalone instance seems fine here, and passes the tests.  Can
you be more explicit about what is happening for you?
