Hi

I am having a similar problem with

- Win2k server
- Java 1.4.2_07
- Tomcat 5.5.9

I generated "forrest webapp" and configured a new tomcat an <Context> for Forrest.

I get an Exception similar to the first post. A series of ClassNotFoundException exceptions.

I managed to sort of fix the problem copying

 logkit-1.2.2.jar and commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

to

 tomcat\common\lib

Now, I get the following error

--
Message: null

Description: No details available.

Sender: org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet

Source: Cocoon Servlet

Request URI

index.html

cause

C:\usr\sbin\apache-forrest-0.7\site-author\build\webapp\project\.\skinconf.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)

request-uri

/Forrest/index.html

--

There is no much information in the log files.

Tried to copy skinconf where requested and I get a "java.lang.NullPointerException" as a Tomcat server error cause.

And many other failed attempts.


Please help!!!

Please raise an issue on our issue tracker about this. I'm travelling 
right now and don;t have access to a tomcat server so can't help right 
now. since you have had no response from other devs here putting it in 
the issue tracker will stop us forgetting about it. Someone will help soon.
