It's doing exactly what you're telling it to, looking for your app's
pages in '/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps' :-)

However, putting Context elements in server.xml is discouraged.

You should create a file named (assuming a vanilla install):

        $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml

:: containing:

<Context
          docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/crypto"
          debug="9" reloadable="true"
          privileged="true" allowLinking="true" >
</Context>

:: which will make it your default webapp, accessed directly using
"http://gus.csbc.vcu.edu:8080/";...
