Running Solaris 9, Java 1.4, Apache, Tomcat, mm.mysql (does that cover everything?)
I have everything installed and configured (I think), have created a test course, and still cannot bring up the application. My thought is that the information I am trying to put into the index.html is not correct. Can someone send me a sample of their index.html page to see if mine is correct please? My direct email is laura@allstech.com.
Thanks,
Laura

When you say that you can't bring the app up, what do you mean, exactly? Are you getting an error message? If so, is the error message generated by tomcat, or by eledge? One thing to look into is your mysql permissions, as those sometimes cause problems. Another thing to check is your tomcat web.xml configuration file. ($CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml). In there is a line/set of lines that look like:
In at least one default tomcat install I've seen, those lines were commented out, but they need to be uncommented.
These are just some general ideas based on problems other people have had in the past.... any other specific information you can provide regarding any error messages you are getting, etc. would be helpful.
If it's the index file you are concerned about... the only line that actually needs editing is the
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=/servlet/Eledge.Home">
If you have a typical tomcat install, you just need to change the Eledge.Home to Course.Home where Course is the name of your course (ie, the name you put on the first line of every servlet.... (package Coursename)).
Additionally, you can try "skip" the index page by pointing your browser to: http://mydns/servlet/Coursename.Home
(of course substituting appropriate things in for mydns and Coursename. ;) Note that if all you're running is tomcat, and if you haven't changed the default port settings, your url will need to look something like: http://mydns:8080/servlet/Coursename.Home

I think the problem is with mysql; I cannot connect to the database. I've had someone else working on this with me, and have had to step in to try to see what is taking place. I'll try your suggestions first, then go back through the mysql installation and configuration to see if there is a problem there.

For resolutions sake... ;)
Problem: mysql permission table was messed up to the point of not being able to even login remotely (mostly due to hostname lookup problems).
Resolution: Fixed mysql permission tables. Things work now. =)
