I've recently been trying to implement uPortal on my debian linux
server running the following binaries:
tomcat5.5
maven2
ant 1.7.1
Again, attempting to deploy uPortal version 3.0.4
in communication with the uPortal mailing list, I was advised to seek
advice from this group regarding the following thread:
==BEGIN uPortal THREAD==
If you stop tomcat (kill if needed), clear out all your logs, rm -rf
work/Catalina/localhost, and start tomcat, what do you see in your
logs? also, there is a chance that you don't have tomcat configured to
autodeploy, which could be the reason for no response (it isn't
deploying uPortal etc. and/or compiling the jsps etc. and putting them
in the work/... dir).
If you are new to tomcat, you might also want to check out the tomcat-
users list and ask there to get up to speed with Tomcat first:
http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html
Unfortunately even though uPortal uses Tomcat, admining Tomcat is not
the point of this list. :( Wish I could be of better help.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary, thank you for your advice.
I had not run the deployPortletApp task. After running the task and
restarting tomcat, no new errors were generated in catalina.log,
however browsing to localhost on port 8080 returns 0 bytes, or
localhost:8080/uPortal returns a tomcat 404 message, and i cant seem
to locate any portal.log file.
Following this I proceeded with step 2, changing the ownership of
tomcat_home/webapps and tomcat_home/logs to tomcat55 (the user
tomcat runs as), as well as deleting tomcat_home/work/Catalina/
localhost. Once again, after restarting tomcat I get a 0 byte
response from localhost:8080 and a tomcat 404 from localhost:8080/
uPortal. Again, no portal.log is created.
Is there any more insight anyone could shed on this?
Thanks in advance

As a correction for solution to issue 2, I meant a recursive chown
(it is unlikely that the files themselves have wrong attributes, so
chmod prob not needed).

Issue 1:
Did you use uPortal to deploy your portlet via the ant/maven task?
Looking at your web.xml I don't see the part that is automatically
generated by that process.
That "plutofication" process will add portlet.tld to the deployed
portlet (webapp) and will modify (add some XML to) web.xml (using
your portlet.xml).
While you *can* include these changes yourself in the portlet
without going through uPortal, it is highly recommended by the
uPortal developers to use the deployPortletApp process instead
because it includes the portlet.tld and web.xml changes that are
specific for the version of the Apache Pluto that uPortal uses.
Issue 2:
Looks like you have some permissions issues. If possible do a
recursive chmod to add read and write rights to the user/group
that Tomcat is running as on your (tomcat home)/webapps directory,
do the same for your (tomcat home)/logs and you might want to
remove (rm -rf) (tomcat home)/work/Catalina/localhost directory
just in case it compiled some stuff as a diff user if you ran
Tomcat as one user and then later as another user.
Hope this helps,
Gary

==END THREAD==
I've read through much of the documentation in my learning process
attempting to deploy this app, but have not come across anything that
has jumped out as a feasible or probable solution or coherent
definition of the problem I'm experiencing. At this point I no longer
have any error logs to interpret and would appreciate any guidance.
