[Paraview] ParaViewWeb Server on Linux

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Kasumi,

Could you be more precise on what you done from the FAQ and what did you get ?

1) Did you try to execute manually the PWServer executable based on
the path that is set inside TOMCAT_ROOT/lib/pw-config.properties. Did
it crash ?

2) Did you forget to start activemq ?

3) Is there any X running on your linux computer ?

4) Which user is running tomcat ?

Thanks,

Seb
