[IPT] Troubles with IPT

[Mickael Graf]

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed IPT and geoserver, and I got into troubles.
I'm new to Tomcat, and this doesn't help me solving this issue.

First I couldn't start geoserver. After searching the solution was to
change owner (unzipping and installing defaults to root.root) and to
make geoserver/data/service.xml writeable. 

Now I'm trying to start IPT but this doesn't work. After changing memory
values, I finally get the following error message:

FAIL - Application at context path /ipt could not be started

The message from the logs is the following:
INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/ipt'

INFO: HTMLManager: list: Listing contexts for virtual host 'localhost'

I don't know if that means my system is missing some class/package or if
it's a configuration issue. My system is Centos 5.3

Cheers,
Mickaël
