http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13130 Tomcat service does not recognize resources from a network shared drive.. Summary: Tomcat service does not recognize resources from a network shared drive.. Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.3 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, As is known to set up a new web application in Tomcat 4.x we need to add a new <context/> element in server.xml (under a <host/>) So I added: <Context path="/StrutsAPI" docBase="F:/Users/VDondeti/PTH- PC0114_D_drive_10Aug2002/1Sunday/StutsAPI" reloadable="false" debug="0" privileged="true" crossContext="false"/> The F:/ in the doc base points to a network drive shared in my profile as F: When I start up tomcat via the batch file (startup.bat), I can browse to the new context (http://localhost:8090/StrutsAPI ). No problem with that. However if I start the Tomcat Server as WindowsNT service, it cannot start up the new context. (looking at the log files generated, it seems like the bootstrap classloader cannot read the network drive. A snap shot of the error log is: 2002-09-30 13:52:58 StandardContext[/StrutsAPI]: Error initializing resources: Document base F:\Users\VDondeti\PTH-PC0114_D_drive_10Aug2002\1Sunday\StrutsAPI does not exist or is not a readable directory 2002-09-30 13:52:58 StandardContext[/StrutsAPI]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2002-09-30 13:52:58 StandardContext[/StrutsAPI]: Exception during cleanup after start failed LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/StrutsAPI] has not been started at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop (StandardContext.java:3451) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start (StandardContext.java:3408) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1123) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:614) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1123) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start (StandardEngine.java:343) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start (StandardService.java:388) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start (StandardServer.java:506) at org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService.start (CatalinaService.java:261) at org.apache.catalina.startup.CatalinaService.execute (CatalinaService.java:172) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:179) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService.main (BootstrapService.java:428) If I move the network content to my local hard disk and change the docBase accordingly everything works perfect. Any clues why the Tomcat service behaves in this peculiar way... PS: The Tomcat service is configured to start automatically. Even then I manually stopped and restarted it. Even then Tomcat service is unable to load the resources from the network share. rgds G1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
