When you request the /portal URL you get an error page.

For example, doing this requests:

localhost:8080/portal -> You get an error page.
localhost:8080/portal/ -> It works!
localhost:8080/portal/site/!gateway -> It also works.

If you were logged in, the stack trace shown on error page is:

In the current SNAPSHOT of Sakai 11, I cannot reproduce this bug. I tested on apache-tomcat-8.0.29 and it works fine.

Matthew Jones February 18, 2016 at 5:04 PM

This patch looks like it works for 10.x, going to apply it.

I think this problem is surfaced by Tomcat, but the actual fix for this is now part of https://sakaiproject.atlassian.net/browse/SAK-28146#icft=SAK-28146

So I think we're going to have to get that fix into 10.7 or else nobody on 10 can run a tomcat > 7.0.65.

I'm bumping this up to a blocker at the moment.

I updated nightly today to tomcat

8.0.32 and 7.0.68

The change log says "Restore the default for mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled to true"

I'm currently seeing no problems with 8.0.32 and trunk but it still seems to be causing a problem on 7.0.68.

Yeah that was my understanding as well. They reverted it in the very next release!
