Godaddy - Struts Tiles Problems

[santiago esteva]

HI everyone. I was hoping to find somebody that had solved this problem.
I am deploying a CRUD application in Godaddy. I have the shared Linux hosting plan with Java enabled. Godaddy Details: JDK 1.5 - Tomcat 5.0.27
I am using Struts 1.3.8 and Tiles.
The War file is exploded and when I try to access the application: I get the following:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Unfortunately, in Godaddy you can only write to /tmp; therefore, I can not use Log4 to see a more detailed log.

For the error message it seems to be complaining about the tags but the thing is that I tested the application locally with the same variables and it works just fine.
If I try to access other part of the application the errors are very similar, about tags and MessageResource.
IN Struts 1.3.8 there is no need to define taglibs as long as you have the proper .jar included. Just in case, below is the web.xml and struts-config.xml:

Please be sure to use UBB code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along. Please read this for more information.

I am terribly sorry about the incident. I have read the rules and I will make sure to follow them. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Merrill Higginson]

This could mean that Struts just isn't finding the struts-config.xml file. Here's a thread in another discussion group that seems to indicate this:

[santiago esteva]

Thanks for the pointer. I verified the web.xml and got into the File Manager to see if the struts-config was there and everything seems to be in place.
In the wbe.xml I have:

     <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>

While I was waiting for some miracle...I tried EATJ free account to test the app. I deployed it and it worked without any change. It seems to be a problem at Godaddy then. This is actually the worst notice since I have all my web sites in Godaddy and I was trying to avoid hiring another service since I am already paying Godaddy. They are good at hosting sites but it seems I am doomed on regards to Java apps.

I might try talking to support services...

If you have any other idea it will be extremely welcomed.

Thanks for your help!!! I am glad having joined this forum.
