Installation of Bodgeit Unclear

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In the installation notes it states:

All you need to do is download and open the zip file, and then extract the war 
file into the webapps directory of your favorite servlet engine. 

Then point your browser at (for example) http://localhost:8080/bodgeit 

Q.  Exactly what do you mean by 'point your browser'?  Are you referring to a 
proxy setting here?

Just type that URL into your browser's URL bar.
If you want to use an intercepting proxy (like ZAP) then you'll need to set 
that up as well.

Hi - I did type that URL into my browser's URL bar and all it returns is a
blank screen.
Yes, I have ZAP installed so please kindly confirm exactly what needs
setting up in ZAP in order for it to pick up the Bodgeit site in the sites
tab.

Have a look at the ZAP help file (menu: Help / User Guide) - which is also 
online: https://code.google.com/p/zaproxy/wiki/HelpStartStart

The Help files are anything but helpful i'm afraid. In Firefox, I have set
the proxy to Localhost 8080.  in ZAP, the Local Proxy is also set
to Localhost 8080.
Why does it still fail to lad the Bodgeit site??  What am I doing wrong? Is
there any other setting/application I need to either install/configure?
 Note. I have also installed Appache Tomcat and also placed the Bodgeit WAR
file onto the Webapps directory of Apache.

By default tomcat listens on 8080 too.
Try changing ZAP to listen on 8090.
Remember to change you browser proxy settings as well.
ZAP should warn you if it cant listen on the configured port, but tomcat wont.

I've just changed the Firefox proxy to listen on 8090 (and ZAP to also
listen on 8090). I then entered the URL ( http://localhost:8090/bodgeit
<http://localhost:8080/bodgeit>) into Firefox URL bar anmd all i get is a
blank white screen.  What am I doing wrong??

If tomcat is listening on 8080 you should access bodgeit via 
http://localhost:8080/bodgeit (not sure if the 8090 was a typo)
Try accessing bodgeit on http://localhost:8080/bodgeit without using ZAP as a 
proxy (eg using a different browser) - if that doesnt work then its a tomcat 
issue.
Have a look in the tomcat logs and see if there are any errors

I've tried a different browser without using zap as a proxy and still
doesn't work.
Now, when you mention Tomcat...I installed Tomcat but it does not appear in
Start------>Programs menu.  In my local drive I have a folder called
'apache-tomcat-8.0.9'.  IN there, is an executable called tomcat8.exe -
which when double clicking does not do anything.

So it sounds like its a tomcat issue.
Have a look at the files in the tomcat 'logs' directory - are there any errors 
logged in any of them?

Original comment by psii...@gmail.com on 1 Jul 2014 at 9:46

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Logs directory is empty.

That means tomcat isnt being started :/
Is there a tomcat8w.exe file in the bin directory?
I've got tomcat 7 installed right now, and I use tomcat7w.exe which starts and 
stops the tomcat service.
That might give you more info.

Yes there is an exe with that name, but when I double clcik on it i get an
'Application System Error' dialogue box. the message syas 'The specified
service does not exist as an installed service.  unable to open the service
tomcat8'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No idea what that is then :(
Might be worth reinstalling?
Or asking on a tomcat list?

Appreciate the time - its pretty annoying when we can't get the site to
load up - irf yiou do come across anyone else with similar issues and there
is a workaround please do let me know.

Will do.
Might be worth trying Tomcat7 - thats working fine for me ;)
One thought - are you using tomcat 32 or 64 bit?
Might also be worth trying the other one!

Original comment by psii...@gmail.com on 1 Jul 2014 at 10:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried tomcat 8 64 bit and also tomcat 7 64 bit - OK will try 32 bit on both.
I will update you once I have tried 32 bit version.

i got it to work!
i installed both tomcat 7 and 8 32 bit and after stoipping/starting
services on both and changing the port to 8090 (yes, 8090); it launched the
site in firefox and it loads up within zap too!!

:)
