demos not working - files not found?

[jogorman]

I'm getting a little frustrated with my new installation...

Tomcat appears to be working, and I can get the 'Index' page to load, but I can't even get the 'Hello Laszlo' to work.

I tried looking at the Installation documentation, but the link to 'testInstall' comes up with a file not found error.

There appears to be a disconnect to where the files are stored. TPS_Home looks like it is ok.

Anyone? Beuller? Help?

Thanks.

Update

When I typwe the following in the address bar:
http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2/examples/hello.lzx

I get the Laszlo 'Task' and 'Resources' bars at the bottom, and when I press the 'View Source' button (third to the right) it finds the source OK. But, I still don't see anything in the main part of the screen.

jogorman:

Did you ever get a solution to this problem? I am having a similar one.

I have followed the Laszlo core installation instructions to the letter. Unfortunately, when I attempt to view any of my lzx files, I get an error similar to the following:

ProjmanAdmin.lzx:3:50: file not found: lz/button.lzx

The file in question actually does exist; it appears that the presentation servlet somehow is not looking in the correct place in order to find it.

It is starting to look like this system is not useable with regular Tomcat installations. This indicates that Laszlo- based applications are not deployable.

If Laszlo is to be used with any real- world applications, then a solution to this problem must be presented. I sincerely hope that someone has presented jogorman with such a solution -- else the goal of Laszlo becoming the "future of web applications" is going to remain a pipe dream...

I agree with your assessment...if smart guys like you and I can't get the basic package to run, what hope is there for the rest of mankind? :~)

Seriously, I still have had no luck. I'm going to try to re-load the software and re-install it.

I'll let you know how I make out.
