Here you go. I've omitted all the comments and the 1,012 <mime-mapping>s. Note that compilerSourceVM is explicitly set to 11. I didn't do that. It was in the installed web.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/web-app_6_0.xsd"; version="6.0"> <request-character-encoding>UTF-8</request-character-encoding> <response-character-encoding>UTF-8</response-character-encoding> <servlet> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>0</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>listings</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> <param-value>11</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <session-config> <session-timeout>30</session-timeout> </session-config> <mime-mapping> [snip] </mime-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Include files</web-resource-name> <description>No direct access to include files.</description> <url-pattern>/include/*</url-pattern> <http-method>POST</http-method> <http-method>GET</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <description>No direct browser access to include files.</description> <role-name>NobodyHasThisRole</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> </web-app> > > Also, the a web application with that error, we need to see WEB-INF/web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"; xsi:schemalocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"; version="3.1" metadata-complete="true"> <env-entry> <env-entry-name>connurl</env-entry-name> <env-entry-value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/members?</env-entry-value> <env-entry-type>java.lang.string</env-entry-type> </env-entry> <env-entry> <env-entry-name>dbpassword</env-entry-name> <env-entry-value>obfuscated</env-entry-value> <env-entry-type>java.lang.string</env-entry-type> </env-entry> <env-entry> <env-entry-name>webuser</env-entry-name> <env-entry-value>user</env-entry-value> <env-entry-type>java.lang.string</env-entry-type> </env-entry> </web-app> > > <snip/> > > > i don't know that i have "junk" in the conf files. i don't tend to be > > inventive > > with these things myself. here's my whole server.xml file, sans comments. > > please > > let me know if you see anything wrong. > > <snip/> > > > > <host name="www.horeb-wright3.org" appbase="webapps" > > unpackwars="true" autodeploy="true" > > xmlvalidation="false" xmlnamespaceaware="false"> > > set autodeploy="false". i think you will be getting double deployment.

I think I do have the logging valve configured: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs" prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt" pattern="%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b" /> </Host> This is under the <Host name="localhost">, not under the individual <Hosts> configured. Perhaps it needs to be? This is a detail I can ask about later.
