Tomcat error

[bsd12673]

After installing Laszlo and trying to run the laszlo presentation server I get the following error when Tomcat launches in a command window:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.catalina.startup.E
mbedded).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Am i missing something?

Thanks

These warnings are harmless... leave the terminal alone and the LPS should (eventually) come up just fine.

I am receiving the same warnings, but I can't ever get past the "Laszlo Presentation Server .. Now Launching" page. When I try launching Laszlo Explorer is just tries to start the presentation server again .. man I so want to kick the tires on this thing .. help !! ;-)

update
just got an error page back, says it is unable to connect to the LPS and that a firewall might be blocking it or another service might be using port 8080. The firewall is down and there should be no other service using this port. When I connect to that port with a browser I get Tomcat 5.0.24

I am having the exact same problem on my macosx installation.

I've downloaded the lps-2.2-macosx.pkg.sit file, unpacked it and run the installation, after that a terminal window opened, with the warnings:

My Safari then open a page trying to connect, the "now launching page"... in the status bar of the browser it shows that there was an error opening the page, and if I look at the Activity window I see that it can't "connect to host" http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2/lps/utils/test.lzx?lzt?lzt=xml

Any ideas on how could I fix this problem?

thanks.

Eric;

Sorry, man 'leaving the terminal alone' does not work. Like jbryant I want to take this for a spin, and I can't even get the engine to kick over.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Thanks.

Weird. You can try:

1) launch the LPS
2) after a bit... pop up another browser window and point it at http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2/

This *should* get you the LPS 2.2 quick index if things are working correctly.

You can check for problems in .../Laszlo Presentation Server 2.2/server/tomcat-5.0.24/logs and

.../Laszlo Presentation Server 2.2/server/lps-2.2/WEB-INF/lps/work/logs/lps.log

Hi Eric,

It seems that it's working now... I don't know how I did it, but after a reboot I open the http://localhost:8080 just to see if tomcat was running, it showed the tomcat page, then I clicked the Laszlo Explorer again and even with the warnings on the terminal it worked fine and I can now run the samples just fine :)

The startup on some Macs can take minutes.

I posted in another thread on how you can make this faster in 2.2.

Eric;


OK. The Index works fine...and I looked at some of the documentation...so far so good.

Now, when I try to launch an .lzs file (I started with 'Hello' of course) I get the Laszlo interface all right, but all I get on the page is the little icon that usually means the file was not found or can't be rendered.

Sorry to be a pest.

log files?

[jogorman]

Eric;

I looked at the logs, and there are 'file not found' errors.

1. How do I get the log to you to look at.
2. (preferable) How do I figure out where it is looking for the content?

Update:

I can get the Explorer Index to work, but none of the demos work properly. I looked at the logs again to see where "LPS_HOME" is, and it is pointing where it should, but none of the graphics or '.lsz' files will display properly.

Help?!?!
