Thanks. This all started when I went from a Debian package install to a more "vanilla" Linux install. Under the Debian apt package install, it put everything into /usr/share/, and everything worked fine until I tried to install an Ajp13 connector, whereupon it was recommended I do the vanilla install. I put the vanilla install into /usr/local (seemed to make more sense for some reason than /usr/share), and since then my (very simple, just to get started) app doesn't work. As you can see from this thread, it's like it can't find the top-level app directory (which, of course, I've put under /usr/local/tomcat/webapps). When I try to access it, I get a message in my browser that says "The requested resource (/smsinfo/) is not available".
Actually, at the moment, I am back to a relative path for docBase. Is there anyway to set a higher debug level or something so that maybe tomcat will print out how he is trying to resolve paths, etc.? > -----Original Message----- > From: Jay Burgess [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 4:53 PM > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: RE: More (Unending) "Resource Not Found"/ Directory Problems > > > I'm coming into this discussion late, so ignore this if it's > offbase, but it > looks like you are using absolute paths for both appBase and docBase: > > <Host name="localhost" appBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps" > > <Context path="/smsinfo" docBase="/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/smsinfo" > > The docBase docs say "You may specify an absolute pathname for > this directory or > WAR file, or a pathname that is relative to the appBase directory > of the owning > Host." > > Shouldn't you be using a relative path for docBase, not an absolute one? > > Jay > > | Jay Burgess [Vertical Technology Group] > | http://www.vtgroup.com/ > > -----Original Message----- > From: Allen Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 3:34 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: More (Unending) "Resource Not Found"/ Directory Problems > > Oooo-kay.
