Hi Eric,
That's a great point, the installation instructions (and the software,
really) don't provide any obvious, simple way to verify success.
Perhaps that needs to be added.
The Backstage service doesn't generally issue a useful response to
unadorned HTTP requests. Have you tried just uploading some data, per
the upload service described in
https://github.com/zepheira/backstage/wiki/HTTP-Interface
? Any Exhibit JSON data would work.
Though now I note we also don't describe how you might remove that test
data... Hm.

Hi Ryan,
Yes, I have tried it... without succes.
I am not the jetty expert, but it looks like the backstage app has not been deployed.
I wonder how I can check this...
Thanks,
E

There's actually an undocumented capability that can help with this.
It's a place holder for some functionality that we had planned to
provide, but ran out of time for, an HTML form based interface for
uploading data;
http://localhost:8181/backstage/data/disk

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your post. Here's what I get when accessing that page.
exhibit@lvpsxxx-xxx-xx-xxx:~/e3src/backstage$ curl http://localhost:8181/backstage/data/disk
<html><body>Upload form goes here</body></html>
I guess this confirms backstage has been deployed, right?
Thanks,
Eric

That's right. Sorry, I should have mentioned the expected text.

You can now move on to uploading your data;
