Re: Pier 'How to'

Thanks Keith. I gave it another try following your hints. Here are more notes, again from a newbie approach. I found many issues: 1- Minor: Default port The default proposed port is 8080. This conflict with usual Tomcat installation. Changing the text to 9090 does not seem to change the underlying hot link. Being new to Squeak, I do not know how to change that. I had to do the classic highlight+do it. I would recommend changing the default port or let the user choose themselves (remove the hot link). 2- Major: Froze Squeak clicking 'Over' in the debugger Going to seaside/config then Pier>Magma I got an error about a filestream (more about that below). I clicked debugged. Inspected the variables in Squeak. I found that a directory was set to c:/tmp/magma. I thought that maybe the issue was with the Windows path (\ vs. /). I changed a variable and clicked Over. Oops... Squeak would not respond anymore to any click. The web site still worked. How does one unfreeze Squeak in such situation? Crtl-C did nothing. 3- Critical: Magma error following instructions I removed every thing and started over: fresh 3.9 Squeak + fresh SMP image. Following the How To I clicked on PRMagmaRepository > create. I got an error: Repository Path Setting: magma c:\dev\Squeak\SMP\magma\objects not found The above file and directory do exist... Further clicking brings an error page.
