Hello!

The error you're seeing is the platform tellling you it cannot find the directory where your solution files live.

The short answer is you need to make sure that the solutions directory is named 'pentaho-solutions' and lives as a sibling to the root of your Tomcat installation.

There are detailed instructions on how to get and set up the solutions directory in our Advanced Installation Guide, found on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=140317. If the guide doesn't get you up and running, post back and we'll try to help you along

Also, for future reference, try to post installation issues to the Framework Issues forum, thanks!

best regards,
Gretchen
