FAIL - Application at context path /openrdf-sesame could not be started

Question

I am quite new Java Sesame and am having some difficulties to get started. I am using mac 10.5.8. For configuration, I was supposed to deploy two war files in the Tomcat server Manager: /openrdf-workbench and /openrdf-sesame. The /openrdf-workbench file was deployed successfully. Unfortunately the /openrdf-sesame was not deployed. I have received the following message:

FAIL - Application at context path /openrdf-sesame could not be started

When I run the Tomcat Server, I received the following:

SEVERE: Error starting static Resources

I do not know how to solve this issue. Besides, I do not know what the next step can be. Could anyone please help me solve these two issues. Your assistance would be very much appreciated.

Answer 1

I was using apache-tomcat-7.0.32. It seemed it did not suit Mac 10.5.8 and Java 1.6. I installed apache-tomcat-6.0.37. The deployment of both files was successful.
