<x-tab> </x-tab>First, have you executed the file "news.sql" that is included in the "zip" file? I suspect that you have done so. Otherwise, you probably would not be able to insert a news entry. It is possible that OpenCMS has already executed the file for you (when you installed the module). Second, read the primary documentation file in the zip file. This file is named "index.html" and, in the zip file, it is located here: <br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>/system/modules/com.opencms.modules.homepage.news/doc<br><br>
In the zip file, there are _several_ files named "index.html." If you have installed the news module, then this file is probably already in the OC virtual file system. Third, examine your log files, especially the first of these:<br><br>
1. opencms.log<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>By default, this file is here: <Tomcat_home>/webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/logs/opencms.log<br><br>
2. catalina.out -- For historical reasons, the primary log file for Tomcat is _not_ called "tomcat.log".<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>On Debian, this file is here: /var/log/tomcat4/catalina.out<br><br>
3. database log files, e.g., for MySQL. <br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>On Debian, this file is here: /var/lib/mysql/<hostname>.log<br><br>
Finally, on one occasion, I solved a problem with a module by removing it and then installing it again.<br><br>
Sincerely,<br>
