Deploy the Web Author Application
To deploy the Web Author Application in Tomcat:
-
Start the Tomcat service.
When it starts, Tomcat deploys the Web Author application and the %TomcatDir%/webapps directory now contains the webauthor directory.
-
To confirm that the Web Author application was deployed, check that
the following directory exists:
%TomcatDir%/webapps/webauthor/
Important: If this is not the first time that you deploy the Web Author Application and it does not seem to deploy properly:- Stop the Tomcat service.
- Delete the %TomcatDir%/webapps/webauthor/ directory.
- Restart this procedure at step 1.
-
Open the Web Author log files to determine if the installation was successful. The
Web Author logs are stored in the following location:
%TomcatDir%/logs/webauthor.log
If the Web Author installation is successful, the Web Author logs should contain the following message:13:43:05,530 INFO EJBRemote:105 - Performing initial handshake with CMS app server. 13:43:08,094 DEBUG EJBRemote:141 - CMSAppServer version 1.2.0.199 is correct. 13:28:57,094 INFO EJBRemote:142 - Handshake succeeded
