-Create a new folder for your web application in the ''webapps'' folder inside the Tomcat folder. Name it ''wandora'' or whatever you want your web application to be called. Copy the contents in the ''SampleWebApp'' folder in the webapp folder you created. You will find ''SampleWebApp'' folder inside wandora samples folder.

 Next you will have to edit several of the files you copied to match your system. If you named your web application something else than ''wandora'' you will need to put this name in ''META-INF/context.xml'' file and ''WEB-INF/web.xml'' file. Also update all paths found in ''WEB-INF/web.xml'' and ''WEB-INF/classes/piccoloconfig.xml'' to match your environment.

		+	=== Windows Vista ===
		+
		+	It seems that Windows Vista maps localhost to an IPv6 address "::1" which may cause problems various problems unless you change all references to localhost to 127.0.0.1 or some other IP address. You can change this behavior by editing "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" file and making localhost resolve to 127.0.0.1, note that you will need to do this as an administrator user.

-Create a ''lib'' folder under ''WEB-INF'' folder and copy all external libraries (i.e. all files and folders) from the ''lib'' folder of Wandora installation directory there. Also copy ''build/classes/org'' folder from Wandora installation folder under ''WEB-INF/classes'' folder. That is, you should have a ''WEB-INF/classes/org'' folder which will contain a ''gripstudios'' folder (and possibly others) which in turn will contain a complex directory structure with the compiled Java classes.
