[Laszlo-dev] Replicated error in loading and running lps4.0b1rc1 on pc.

[Benjamin Shine]

I understand this, and it is only an issue on developer machines, or  
people already running tomcat for some other purpose.

The installer and the "Start Open Laszlo Server" and "Stop Open  
Laszlo Server" all try to start tomcat. If tomcat is already running,  
all of those scripts should fail, but they might fail quietly or  
obscurely. Regardless, they will not even try to install the new  
webapp. That's why Mamye and Phil were seeing a 404; the installer  
hadn't even tried to install the webapp.

To reproduce,
1) start tomcat from your developer build
2) clear out all webapps: go to http://localhost:8080/manager/html  
and do "undeploy" for each lps-ish webapp.
3) run the "Start Open Laszlo Server" command that gets installed  
from the OL installer
4) try to go to http://localhost:8080/lps-4.0b1/index.html
5) you'll see the 404

to fix
1) stop tomcat from your developer build
2) run "Start Open Laszlo Server" command installed with the installer
3) try to go to http://localhost:8080/lps-4.0b1/index.html
4) it will work
