Graham,

         By the term "logfile," I presume that you mean the file 
"catalina.out," the logfile for Tomcat -- is that correct?

         If the opencms.war file has not been deployed, then, of course, 
that URL will not exist. Read the instructions again:

</begin> -------------------------

Important: OpenCms requires that its *.war file [be] unpacked. OpenCms can 
not be deployed as [a] war file only. Make sure Tomcat does unpack the war 
file and creates the CATALINA_HOME/webapps/opencms/ directory, placing the 
OpenCms files in this directory.

------------------------------- </end>

         If you have further difficulties, please supply the information 
below. You are more likely to get help if we do not have to prod you for 
information!!

A. The most recent contents of these log files:

         1. opencms.log
         2. catalina.out -- if you are using Tomcat
         3. The MySQL log file -- on Debian Linux, it is <hostname>.log

B. Your environment and configuration:

-- OpenCMS (OC) version number, for example (e.g.), ver. 5 or ver. 6.
-- Servlet container and its version number, e.g., Tomcat (ver. 4 or 5.x), 
Jetty, or Resin.
-- RDBMS and its version number, e.g., MySQL (ver 3.2x or 4.x), Oracle, or 
MS SQL Server.
-- JDK, including both: (a) compiler and its version (e.g., Sun, Blackdown, 
IBM's Jikes, or GCJ), and (b) JVM and its version, e.g., Kaffe.
-- Operating system and its version, and, if using Linux, the distribution 
and its version number, too. For example:

                 -- Red Hat Enterprise Linux, ver. 3
                 -- SuSe Linux, ver. 9
                 -- Debian Woody or Debian Sarge ("Testing")

-- If you are using Linux, state whether you installed the software 
packages above using a package management system (e.g., RPM, dpkg, Stow, 
emerge, or "Apt for RPM") or manually instead.
-- The version of the JDBC driver is probably not necessary unless you have 
replaced the JDBC driver that the OC setup wizard installs during the OC 
installation.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain
