I am repeating this exact process now on a different, but exactly
configured system.
1. Changed opencms.war to cms.war and uploaded it using the Tomcat
manager web application.
2. Clicked through the setup and confirmed that I could log into OpenCMS.
3. In folder $CATALINA_HOME/ (pwd = /opt/tomcat5/) I executed:
jar cvf ROOT.war -C webapps/cms/ .
4. (note the period at the end of the command is a part of the command)
5. Change the user and group of the ROOT.war file to the same that
tomcat is executed under
chown tomcat:tomcat ROOT.war
6. Using the Manager web application, remove the existing '/' site
(Undeploy).
7. confirm the ROOT folder has been removed from the webapps folder:
ls -l webapps/
8. Move your new ROOT.war file into webapps:
mv ROOT.war webapps/
9. Wait 10 seconds and then press the up arrow twice to repeat the
command and confirm that you should now see a ROOT folder and a
ROOT.war file
ls -l webapps/
10. Go back to the Manager web application and click on List
Applications to see the new "/" location.
11. Clicking on that should take you to the Directory Listing of ROOT
application. Add "opencms/system/login/" to that url to confirm
everything is still working.
12. You have now completed the installation of OpenCMS into the ROOT
location of Tomcat.
13. Follow the rest of the directions in the documentation.
Hope this is useful.
Please give me feedback!
