ok... just for the sake of problem identifying: can you stop your tomcat go into webapps directory, create a new directory foo change into foo, create an empty WEB-INF directory.
copy a plain html and a plain jsp file into webapps/foo, like foo.jsp and foo.html try http://host:port/foo/foo.html and http://host:port/foo/foo.jsp and tell us what happens? regards Leon On 6/16/06, Jay G. Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
okay. i'm being seen. thanks for that, at least. i can't save a context. I go to catalina-> localhost->make a context i put in the paths. i click save, it says save successful. i click commit changes. i then try to use the context, on a file some vendor supplied, called about.jsp. it does not compile--that's another problem, but maybe that'll help diagnose. if i put a flat.html file of my own in that location, i can see that file 100%. so the context has "taken," if you will. i do a find /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 -name ibi_apps\* and it does not show a ibi_apps.xml file. it does show some others: ./work/Catalina/localhost/ibi_apps if i start/stop tomcat, the context is gone. how'd i install? like this: as root mkdir /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 chown jgs:omssys /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 su - jgs cd / umask 022 gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar gtar xf apache-tomcat-5.5.17-admin.tar ------------- edited startup.sh, shutdown.sh, tomcat-users.xml. the startup, shutdown i presume cannot be the problem--otherwise, things wouldn't start at all, right? i can start/stop and see the processes when they're running. solaris 9 java 1.5.0_07 tomcat 5.5.17 i had apache-1.3.29 but i can use another or leave it out.... ls -ld /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 drwxr-xr-x 11 jgs omssys 512 Jun 15 16:26 /apache-tomcat-5.5.17 i have this same problem on another machine. i'm inclined to think it's a bug in 5.5.17.... i'm grasping at straws. thanks for whatever. j. -- Jay Scott 512-835-3553 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Head of Sun Support, Sr. Operating Systems Specialist Applied Research Labs, Computer Science Div.
