27	27	One important thing to remember is that you need to build and install the frameworks before your build your applications. Building your applications will NOT add the frameworks to the product if you didn't build the frameworks first. So let's build and install the **BlogCommon** framework first.

52	52	Before adding the application into JavaMonitor, you have to copy the applications on the deployment server. You can use any tools that you usually use to copy files on the remote server (scp, rsync, CyberDuck, etc.). Usually you need to copy the application to the following remote directory:

If a link does not appear after a minute and the status is still **STOP**, something is wrong. Check the log that was created in /tmp (the log should be /tmp/WOCommunity-1) to check for any errors.
