1. Follow the steps at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/How_Tos/Setup_Orion_Client_Hosted_Site_on_OrionHub#Setting_up_the_Site
2. When you copy the paths from the Wiki table into the editor, you'll sometimes get Tab characters (if your selection overlaps columns).
3. The editor allows the tab characters to be pasted into the Path field, and saves them to your site configuration. This will cause your path mappings to fail when you launch the site.

The editor also ignores tabs when validating the paths you've typed in, so it will mislead you into thinking that they're valid when they aren't.
