Subsonic will not start

[Clodaus]

Hey guys, I'm new to Tomcat so I'm not sure what the problem could be. I attempt to start subsonic and I get this error:

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


I uploaded the subsonic war file via the tomcat manager. I know this isn't must to go off of, but I don't have much else to offer.

Hi,

I suggest you follow the procedure described here: http://subsonic.sourceforge.net/download.html

Yes I tried that beforehand. They both produce the same result and upload it into the same dir.

I managed to find the log and here is the error:

EDIT: Okay I fixed the problem. I had to create the /var/subsonic directory manually.

Ah, right. I'll make sure to add that to the troubleshooting section, as that causes problems to quite a few people.

Thanks,
