Do you have a ROOT web application deployed? If not, this could be

Mark, I do not have a root context. So that very likely is the
problem. Not 100% sure why the thought is that there should always be a
root context. But I'm sure there are good reasons. Easy enough to
create one. I'll let you know.
Generally, I'd expect to see a ROOT context so there is something there
to handle requests that don't map to any other context. It is easier to
deploy custom 404 error pages if you have a ROOT context for example.
That said, it isn't necessary and we do treat stuff not working without
a ROOT context as a bug.
All you need to fix BZ 64593 is a directory called ROOT in webapps.
Wow. 4 little letters.... I've been using TC for over 15 years without
a ROOT. Probably because I never routed anything through mod_jk that
didn't match a known context. I have no problem if you want to treat
not having a ROOT context as a bug, But please give an error message
in startup and/or provide an error message if/when rewrite valve fails
because there is no ROOT context defined. Thank you for explaining
what's happening. There is not a chance I would have correlated my
symptoms in 100 years to not having a ROOT context. I really do
appreciate the help. All working now....
