When the network is disconnected, the ​http://localhost url is not found in firefox. In particular ​http://localhost:5000 doesn't find the mapfish application.

To reproduce the problem:

• Turn networking off in a VM (usually bottom right icon on display), or disconnect ethernet cable if running from an iso image, and turn off wireless on the computer.

• type ​http://localhost:5000 into a firefox browser. The mapfish application should come up when this problem is fixed.

• This is a known bug in firefox 3. ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339814

=== Manual fix:

• Type about:config as the URL into firefox. Select "I'll be careful"
• You should see a list of config options
• Select "browser.offline-apps.notify" to set it to false.

We should have a symbolic link from the home directory to the data directories. Ie:

cd /home/user ln -s /usr/local/share data

deegree for some reason didn't like launching without sudo privaleges. However when run this way firefox is launched as a different user than the regular user and will fail if already open.

Quick hack last line of deegree_start.sh was to add

sudo -u user firefox ...

This is not a permanent solution as that script appears to come from deegree packages.
