New User, HTTP Status 404, please Help!!!

[paelz]

Hello everyone,

I just downloaded JBOSS AS 4.0.3. and JBOSS Portal 2.2.1, I use Win XP SP2.
I strictly followed the instructions of the manuals / User-Guides of both apps.
I really followed step by step. I did it two times, but it doesn't work!

In the User-Guide it says: Using your browser, navigate to http://localhost:8080/portal and you should see the portal

But I only get following error:

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5

I don't know what to do, because under localhost:8080/ I can reach all stuff of the application server, it works fine......I searched this forum for the problem, but I can't find something.
It would be great, if someone could help me, I'm helpless and I need this stuff for studies....
Thanks and greetings from germany....
