[opencms-dev] opencms/setup will not start, 404 error

[Joe Vigil]

Padric,
     I had this problem. For me, it occurred when the tomcat 
installation directory (/usr/share/tomcat5.5) had a symbolic link to the 
webapps directory (/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps). I originally got the 
tomcat app via the Ubuntu (Linux) installer. Although I'm sure there's a 
tomcat config file that resolves the symbolic link problem, I ended up 
downloading, compiling and installing the tomcat from the apache website 
(after first un-installing the other version).
Hope this helps!
