Q: How do I edit content?

A: First, you have to be logged in. The default installation allows anyone to register. Registered Users have the ability to add and edit content on their personal page.

Once you are logged in, then a black triangle appears next to all content you have permission to edit (each of these is a "widget"). Clicking this triangle will bring up a tabbed interface. The tabs correspond to actions that can be performed on the widget.

Depending on your permissions, you should see an "Edit" action. Clicking this tab will display the contents of the widget. Make the desired changes, then click the Save button.

Q: Using Apache2 and Tomcat4, how can I direct all request to http://mydomain.com from http://mydomain.com/widgetweb/?

A: Refer to the Apache2 documentation for setting up a virtual host and modjk. Once this is accomplished, you can configure the modjk:

<VirtualHost 192.168.1.2:80>
    ServerName mydomain.com
    JkMount /* ajp13
</VirtualHost>

and add the following to Tomcat's server.xml:

<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="virtual" debug="0" unpackWars="false"
    autoDeploy="false" liveDeploy="false"
>
    <Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
    <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="logs"
        prefix="mydomain_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"
    />
    <Context path="" docBase="widgetweb"/>
</Host>

Note: the above configuration assumes that a directory named virtual is in the same directory as webapps. This was because of deployment issues where Tomcat was attempting to deploy WidgetWeb twice in this configuration.

See http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/host.html for reference.
