no worries, lets start from the beginning, after that I will send you
off to take a tomcat and/or servlet tutorial
<Host appBase="/var/www/webapps"...>
The appbase is where tomcat will autodeploy applications from, an
application, or webapp is defined by two means
1. A directory
2. A war file
So in your case, the directory SMC is your webapp, hence the path to the
application would be:
/var/www/webapps/SMC (with subdirectories and files like below)
- WEB-INF
- web.xml
- index.jsp
You have four choices to deploy this webapp
1. put the SCM directory inside Host.appBase, ie, /var/www/webapps/SCM
The app will get deployed as /SCM
2. put the SCM directory inside Host.appBase, ie, /var/www/webapps/SCM
and put SCM.xml inside TC_HOME/conf/appserver/RM2/
The app will get deployed twice, /SCM and /
3. put the SCM directory inside Host.appBase, ie, /var/www/webapps/SCM
Create a file named context.xml ie
/var/www/webapps/SCM/META-INF/context.xml
The app will get deployed once as "/", tomcat will automatically
create SCM.xml inside TC_HOME/conf/appserver/RM2/
4. Put the SCM directory anywhere on the file system, for example /tmp/SCM
and put SCM.xml inside TC_HOME/conf/appserver/RM2/
and inside SCM.xml do <Context docBase="/tmp/SCM" path=""/>
The app will get deployed once as "/"

ok, the application I want to launch is SMC so where should I place the
SMC.xml file?
I´m really confused, not because I dont know what I want to do, but there
are tons of different sources telling me different things and none
works.. :(
I understand that I must be anoying and it´s really nice of you to help
me. =)

R2M.xml? where did that come from? it should be SCM.xml, although the
name isn't important.
Your original setup was confusing, cause you have RM2/SCM (inside of
webapps)
so which one is the webapp, RM2 directory, or the SCM directory?
They key to your problem though, is probably the <Context path=""...>
instead of <Context path="/"...>

ok, and my R2M.xml configuration file should reside inside of
$CATALINA_HOME/appserver/R2M ? or did I missunderstand you on that part?
Will try it out, thanks a million. Really nice of you taking youre time
explaining this to me :)

the more logical setup would be (assuming the SMC is a webapp)
<Engine name="appserver"
debug="0"
defaultHost="R2M">
<Host name="R2M"
appBase="/var/www/webapps/RM2"
autoDeploy="false"
deployOnStartup="false"
unpackWARs="false"
deployXML="true"
debug="0"/>
</Engine>
<Context path=""
docBase="SMC"
reloadable="true"
debug="0"/>
I changed three things
1. Host.appBase
2. Context.path
3. Context.docBase

Hi, thanks for answering=)
I´m still a little confused so I will try to describe what kind of setup
I want and we will se if it becomes clearer.
I want my internet files to reside inside of
/var/www/webapps/R2M/SMC
Now I wan´t apache to forward all pages that are jsp (*.jsp) and all
servlets thats are mapped through ip/servlets/* to tomcat.
As it is right now I have HelloWorld.html and HelloWorld.jsp inside the
SMC folder and apache finds them both and the .jsp file gets forwarded
to tomcat (it says that tomcat can´t find the file). Now where is tomcat
looking for the files?
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml (engine part)
<Engine name="appserver"
debug="0"
defaultHost="R2M">
<Host name="R2M"
appBase="/var/www/webapps/RM2"
autoDeploy="false"
deployOnStartup="false"
unpackWARs="false"
deployXML="true"
debug="0"/>
</Engine>
then I read that it was good to seperate the context part into a
different file for every host and I understood that they were supposed
to reside inside of $CATALINA_HOME/conf/<engine
name>/<application_name>.xml
So I have the file $CATALINA_HOME/appserve/R2M/SMC.xml and it holds
<Context path="/"
docBase="SMC"
reloadable="true"
debug="0"/>
Did I set this up wrong?

Hi all
Ok so heres the deal. I want my tomcat installation (5.5.17) to load
pages from /var/www/webapps/R2M/SMC
I´m also running a virtual host setup so I edit my server.xml file and
point the appBase for the directory to /var/www/webapps and then I have
the context part of the configuration inside
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/appserve/R2M/SMC.xml in which I point the docBase
ok, this path is $CATALINA_HOME/<Engine name>/<Host name>
are you saying you renamed your engine element in server.xml to appserve?
variabel to "R2M/SMC"
this is a weird setup, by setting appBase to /var/www/webapps, tomcat
would want webapps in that directory
so you would have the app in /var/www/webapps/SMC
and tomcat would auto deploy it
Now when I point my webbrowser to a jsp file in my directory I recieve a
404 error.. :(
What went wrong in my configuration?
Any tip/help is greatly appreciated.
