I see. I just thought it's not time well spent trying to get your old
IDP v2 config to work when what you want is getting a new IDPv3.

Then we're back to what Nate said -- you didn't supply any actual
errors, so there's no way we can tell you what's wrong in your
deployment.

Also note that I find your method somewhat complicated. Prepare the
server with new software (Java, Tomcat/Jetty, in versions suitable for
running IDPv3), then copy over your complete /opt/shibboleth from
production, keeping file ownership and permissions intact (e.g. using
tar or `rsync -a`). You may also want to copy over Tomcat
configuration from production.

The way you're currently doing it only seems to guarantee that this
machine will not be identical to your old setup and also will not be a
clean install for a new IDPv3.
