http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org/ was configured to be a Java enabled site. It stopped working after the crash. I have very simple test page to verify that Java works: http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org/jsptest.jsp I can see the page, but not JSP tags rendered. I also can't access cPanel using the URL I've been using :http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org/cpanel Is that means some configuration got lost after crash or I'm not waiting long enough? I'm not complaining, I'm just not sure if I need to wait some more or do something different. Thank you for looking into this.

I have the same problem. I have site that used to work. It worked after Tomcat's upgrade. I did not change anything since than.

Thank you. Much needed upgrade. Could you please update the website: http://www.heliohost.org/home/features/languages/jsp It still refers to Tomcat 5.5 and Servlet 2.4 Thank you

I know there is several ways to upload my site to the server, but all of them are tedious. I need to FTP or create bunch of files and folders. In Tomcat you can upload a WAR file into webapps folder and Tomcat would deploy your WAR automatically. Is that mechanism exposed somewhere? Is there a magic place for me to upload 1 WAR file in order to update my site? That be nice.

Did you also upgrade Tomcat? Is all upgrades done? Is it ready for use?

I have the same problem. My user is madfish. http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org/cpanel gives me gateway time-out http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org gives me service temporarily unavailable I can connect using http://johnny.heliohost.org:2082/frontend/x3/index.phpcp, but it takes over 2 minutes and I still don't know how to view my site.

I don't know how to tell how many hours the system thinks has past, but it's been days for me and it is still does not work. EDIT: Java is working http://puzzlepond.heliohost.org/jsptest.jsp

username: madfish domain: puzzlepond.heliohost.org server: johnny Java was enabled for my site. I went to check it out. Displayed jsptest.jsp that was added for me, but no Java is rendered. All Java code on the page just displays as is. In my browser I see Request Method: <%= request.getMethod() %> instead of Request Method: GET EDIT: It's been 12 hours, and 12 is less than 24.

Since the beginning developers realized that separation of concerns is a powerful strategy. Keep things small, simple and compartmentalized. That principal can be seen in many tools and ideas: keep code separate from data, keep bussiness logic separate from presentation, keep server logic separate from client logic, etc. HTML and CSS help to separate concerns. HTML is a vehicle to structure your data. CSS is a tool to present (color or pretify) that structure. Think of a document that you create in Word. Think of a technical book that you read. When you write a book like that, you trying to add your thoughts into structure that can help your reader to understand your ideas. You put your thoughts into sentences. You group the sentences into paragraphs to help reader. You group paragraphs into sections giving them heading 3. You group those sections into chapters (heading 2). You group chapters into parts (heading 1). You mark some parts of your text as "example" or "things to remember" or "side note". Ideally you do not think how it will look on the paper at that time. Should I bold my examples or all cap them? At that point most writers care about getting their thought down, so it is clear. Mark examples as "examples" and move on. Than you can apply style. You can say all heading 1 is bold 12pt and all examples italic all caps. The same in web world. HTML is your thoughts, your data in a structured format. It can have IDs and references to class (this chunk is example or side note), but it should not have fonts and colors. That's where CSS come to help. CSS is all about presentation: any thing marked as side note should be in a floating box on right with border around. In some companies HTML and CSS done by 2 different people. Even if you not planing to reuse your styles between the pages it is a good practice to separate concerns. Create separate CSS, define your presentation there and reference it from HTML.
