Thanks for the response.

I didn't find the log.configuration.xml file in the webapp distro, but
I downloaded the standalone version and pulled a copy from there

Rather than send it to everyone on the list, I put the log file up on
my server at http://www.tolomato.net/pixory-debug-log.txt

I see a couple of suspicious-looking entries.  During initialization
there's a ClassNotFoundException for
org.pixory.pxmodel.PXObjectStoreVersion4.  But it doesn't seem to be
disastrous, so maybe that's OK.

The other thing I noticed is the entry at line 141:
"album at path: /photos/public/030111 is no longer under the album root"
One thing to know about that directory is that it's a symbolic link,
could this be an issue?

To answer your questions, I am using Jetty 4.2.12, which is I guess a
bit long in the tooth.  It runs on debian woody.  My configuration is
a bit different from your example.  I unjarred pixory.war into
$JETTY_HOME/webapps/pixory as you did, but my jetty xml is

  <Call name="addWebApplications">
    <Arg></Arg>
    <Arg>/www/webapps/</Arg>
    <Arg>org/mortbay/jetty/servlet/webdefault.xml</Arg>
    <Arg type="boolean">true</Arg>
  </Call>

Which is supposed to pick up any webapps found in the webapps dir.
That seems to be working OK.

Here are minor annotations of the log: Starting at line 133, I browsed
to .../pixory/pxapplication and saw "sorry, no albums are currently
available to you."

Starting at around line 626, I logged in as the admin user and viewed
the album at /photos/public/030111, observed that album is shared with
public, logged out.

Then at around line 674 I visited .../pixory/pxapplication again with
the same result as before.

Thanks for your time
