[Anthill] Updated documentation?

[varban]

Hello again,

the best place to look for logs in this case is the Tomcat log. There 
you will be able to see any error messages that AnthillOs produces.
If you can checkout correctly, then you need to make sure that tagging 
and building are not having any problems. I would suggest that you use 
the com.urbancode.anthill.adapter.ProjectPropertyFileVersionAdapter as a 
version adapter so that the current version number will be saved in the 
registry and not in a file in subversion. Then try setting the 
anthill.build.tag to never so Anthill will not attempt to tag the source 
(untill we make sure everything else is ok and then you can turn this on).
Next thing is to make sure that you point to the correct build script in 
the anthill.build.script setting. This is relative to the root of the 
project. Let's say that you are checking out from 
https://svn.company.com/repo/project/trunk (notice the trunk at the end, 
this seems to be a standart format for subversion) then if you have your 
build script in project/build/build.xml your script setting will point 
to build/build.xml .However if you did not specify the trunk directory 
in you Subversion driver (and it is in the repository) then your build 
script should be trunk/build/build.xml. If Anthill had problems locating 
the build script you should see a message in the Tomcat logs.

If you see an error message in the Tomcat logs that does not make sense, 
send it over to me (few lines before the message and all the way to the 
end) and I can look it up.

Regards,
Varban
