installing without example webapps prevents starting Tomcat

           Summary: installing without example webapps prevents starting
                    Tomcat
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.12
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Installable Packages
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


If the example applications are not selected during install then the physical 
files are not present but they are referenced in the configuration files. The 
result is that Tomcat cannot start.

Workaround:
Delete the context entry below the "<!-- Tomcat Examples Context -->" line in 
<tomcat root>/conf/server.xml
