I had some serious trouble setting up the Laszlo System on Mac OSX. There were some holes in the documentation on the site, so here's what I worked out for myself.
1 - Once LPS is downloaded and unzipped, I moved the entire directory into the root level of my local Apache server install.
2 - When I write new files, I save them into the my-apps directory (as the online documentation suggests), but there's a specific path to get there (which is not as intuitive as I suspected), which is:
(path to local server root dir) > Laszlo Presentation Server 2.1.2 > jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12 > webapps > lps-2.1.2 > my-apps
(like I said, not necessarily an obvious path)
2.a - Save your .lzx file with the necessary first two lines in place:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE canvas SYSTEM "http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/tools/lzx.dtd">
3 - View your files in a browser at:
http://localhost:8080/lps-2.1.2/my-apps/new.lzx
hope this helps.
