Try D:/myapp/web -- It works for me. Generally speaking, / always works for directory path separation in anything Java-esque. \ is the escape character, and so for \ to work, you often have to double it up, i.e., \\.

Also, I want to be able to access the application locally. So, I did what's said in the docs: in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\Catalina\localhost\ I created a file context.xml with the following contents: <Context path="/myapp" reloadable="true" docBase="D:\myapp\web" workDir="D:\myapp\work" /> I get an error in the log upon start of tomcat: "Document base D:\myapp\web does not exist or is not a readable directory". The directory is there with the following contents: META-INF WEB-INF index.jsp What am I doing wrong? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
