CANNOT GET INSTALL TO WORK

[techee]

Hey there,

I am pretty new to all of this, and I feel pretty comfortable with most of the language and procedures, but even after following the documentation multiple times on 2 different computers I cannot seem to get the demo site to work. On one computer when I try to run http://localhost:8080, I get an error saying 503, service unavailable. On the other computer when I try to run the demo ANT, I get and error that looks like this:

Sorry for the trouble you're having. The fileupload Maven issue specifically is pretty well explained here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1716 ... s-in-place.

Basically, Maven is having trouble downloading that pom.xml from Maven central. Maven does have a bad habit of caching failures though and might not recheck to attempt a re-download until you force it to. I would recommend doing what they referenced on that stackoverflow post and trying to delete your ~/.m2/org/apache/commons directory, then redoing a maven install at the root of your project. That will force Maven to try to look up that dependency on Maven central again.

Let us know if you have any other issues.
