Hi Mark Thanks for getting back with me. :-)
markt> What is the setting for unpackWARs for Host? These are the host settings in server.xml: name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="false" markt> Running directly from a WAR (with unpackWARs="false" markt> file will impact performance.

OK good to know that at least for JAR's the "normal" place is the work folder and *not* the temp folder. markt> Maybe some custom "unpack to temp" code? That's what I'm afraid of. :-\ What's weird(er) is that the default TC apps like docs and manager are copied to the temp folder too. Also, the subfolders start with a number, like "0-app1", "4-docs", and "5-manager". Does that provide a clue, or is that just normal? Could the destination for unpacking the WAR files be changed from default with a setting or an environment variable? -- Cris Berneburg CACI Senior Software Engineer -----Original Message----- cb> Sometimes we get strange errors after deployments to our cb> test server.
