404 error "the requested resource () is not available

[TaylorDenniston]

Hello all,

I was able to log in using the gptadmin untill i clicked on Administration tab, now i cant even browse to http://localhost:8080/geoportal.

Im using the same setup discussed in the Summer 2011 issue of ArcUser with the exception of jdbc driver, which is "postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc4.jar"

I noticed I had a typo in my geoportal.xml (url=jdbc:postgrewql://localhost:/postgres) After I corrected my typo I started getting the 404 error.

attached is my gpt log file from tomcat 6.

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: no web.xml present

this looks bad to me. 🙂 could someone shead some light on this, I'm in over my head on this.

I just deleted out the geoportal website and the geoportal.war file from tomcat and reimported the geoportal.war file and made the changes to gpt.xml and Shazzzam!! the planets are aligned again. 🙂

still not sure what happened... fat finger?

Who knows?  Glad it is working for you. 

My guess in retrospect would be that you did not have the JNDI properly set up.  (SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: no web.xml present)

By default, geoportal.war doesn't come packaged to auto-deploy the JNDI file.  After you create and edit it, you need to restart Tomcat so it gets recognized as geoportal is starting up.
