I am trying to deploy a web app as the ROOT application for Tomcat 7.0.35, running on Ubuntu 12 with Amazon EC2.
1) When I use auto-deploy using the Tomcat Deployer 'deploy' ant task (just downloaded the most recent version of the TCD libs) to a non-ROOT context name, such as /360Site, everything works as expected - war file is uploaded, decompressed to directory, and is immediately available. 2) When I use the manager HTML interface to upload the ROOT.war file by clicking the 'Select WAR file to upload' and then clicking 'deploy', everything works as expected. However, 3) When I do exactly the same thing as #1 (tomcat auto deploy) but just change the 'path' variable from /360Store to /ROOT, here is what happens: * WAR file appears in the webapps directory, but does not get expanded. * The webapp is not running (I get a blank page when I go to the URL in the browser) * I can go into the HTML manager page and click the 'start' button, and the webapp does successfully start (tested the URL in the browser), but the WAR file still does not get unpacked into a directory. * I see these entries in the catalina.<date>.log > Dec 26, 2013 7:22:49 PM

works correctly as expected. Any ideas here? Here is what I've ruled out so far: * I don't think it's a file permission issue (webapps directory has permissions 777, and everything works fine when run through the manager HTML interface). * The "Child name '' is not unique" sounded promising, but I could not find any duplicate ROOT webapps - there is no ROOT.war file or directory in the webapps directory prior to running the auto-deploy; there is no ROOT.xml file in the conf/Catalina/localhost directory, nor are there any context elements defined in the server.xml file. * I don't think that the .war file is corrupt - I can manually unzip the .war file in the webapps from the command line using the 'unzip' command, and as I pointed out in #2 above, everything works fine when it is uploaded using the manager HTML interface. --Jesse Barnum, President, 360Works http://www.360works.com Product updates and news on http://facebook.com/360Works (770) 234-9293 == Don't lose your data! http://360works.com/safetynet/ for FileMaker Server ==
