Hippo CMS Deployment to tomcat (Blank page shown in Browser, page source available in curl)

I pretty much followed the instructions on http://www.onehippo.org/library/enterprise/installation-and-configuration/linux-installation-manual.html for configuring a hippo cms instance on tomcat8.

I got it up and running without any ERRORs in the log files but if I query http://localhost:8080/site from my Browser a blank page is shown, but if I look at the source behind the page I see the html code I would expect.

Is there any configuration I am missing?

Solution

  • Ok, I found the solution.

    I was using a the following code (simplified)

    <head>
  ...
  <script src="someurl" />

    --> no html or script error but nothing displayed in the browser

    <head>
  ...
  <script src="someurl" ></script>

    works fine (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script)
