AW: Scarab website doesn't come up after invoking from the Browser

You have to use the tomcat manager to deploy the war file.

- Start your browser
- with tomcat on your local machine type in the url: http://localhost:8080
When tomcat ist installed, up and running the tomcat welcome screen shows up
- on the left side: click on "Tomcat Manager"
- type in your username and passwort. You don´t kow it ? Search the tomcat
installation path (on windows perhaps c:\programs\Apache foundation
software\tomcat55 or something like that.
Then look for a subdirectory called conf and locate the file "tomcat-users.xml".
Use an editor an look into the file and extract the username and password for
the role "manager". Use it in your browser to get to the Tomcat management page.
- scroll down to the war upload form, locate your war file and upload it. Tomcat
will do all things necessary. Then scarb should show up in the webapp-List.

Alternatively:
Locate the webapps directory within the tomcat program path (see above). Just
copy the scarab directory in the target-directory after building scarab to
webapps.
Tomcat scans the webapps directory for new projects. To be on the save side then
just restart tomcat (in a windows install you have a menue entry "Tomcat
configure". Usae this to start/stop/reöoad tomcat).

Norbert

You should be trying http://localhost:8080/scarab/

Did the warfile get unpacked?
IE next to the scarab.war file in webapps is there now the scarab 
directory?
Did you restart tomcat?
Did you try the other webapps directories you have? (I have no idea about 
the tomcat installation layout on a windows machine).
