Could it be because my tar & extract copied the symbolic links of the demoserver as well ?
Ie. the conf directory is not a real directory, but a symbolic link to the conf directory of the demo server .... -----Original Message----- From: Tim Lucia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 May 2006 01:22 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Tomcat (Base?) directory Did you include the ROOT/ directory from the old installation's webapps directory?

Tim -----Original Message----- From: Dirk Moolman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 4:52 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Tomcat (Base?) directory Hi, I am sorry for posting such simple questions to the list, but I am really pushed for time (new servers have to go live), and I have not worked with Tomcat before. I have successfully installed Tomcat, and someone helped me to confirm that it was working by using CATALINA_BASE=/src/www/tomcat/demoserver. I copied everything in this directory to a new tomcat filesystem I created, where my applications will be loaded, and restarted Tomcat from the new filesystem. When I connect to tomcat http://servername:8080, I now get a blank page, where previously on the demoserver I was able to open a Tomcat welcome page. I assume from this that I cannot just move the demoserver directory structure, but have to also change some config files if I want to do this - is this correct ?
