Hi,
This is my server details:-
Server InformationTomcat VersionJVM VersionJVM VendorOS NameOS VersionOS
ArchitectureHostnameIP AddressApache Tomcat/8.0.281.7.0_51-b13Oracle
CorporationMac OS X10.9.5x86_64
I have a web application(mytomcat-helloworld) in below
directory /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.28/webapps/
Server.xml is also out of box.
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
I can access my application at below url:-
http://localhost:8080/mytomcat-helloworld/
Everything is fine till here.
I have now created a context xml in path
/Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/test.xml
as
<Context path = "/test" docBase="mytomcat-helloworld" >
</Context>
I was hoping to access the application with url:-
http://localhost:8080/test
But instead I get this error:-
