Yes, they are. Each webapp uses a separate classloader. > Could the jar files in > /home/user/public_html/CIMMS_user/WEB-INF/lib > be conflicting with > /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/CIMMS/WEB-INF/lib No, they wouldn't conflic. I haven't tried this yet, but I think the CIMMS_user directory shouldn't be there. My understanding of the doc is that the HomesUserDatabase Listener creates one webapp (docBase) per user - not an appBase per user. Try moving everything under CIMMS_user to public_html - eliminate the CIMMS_user level. > I have no conf/Catalina dir at all.

I think you're already aware of this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html#User%20Web%20Ap plications [Note to Mark T: the above still contains a reference to DefaultContext.] > It just seems odd that it works from the tomcat > home but not the users public_html area! One problem might be the <DefaultContext> element you've added to your <Host> - that has not been valid for some time. The proper location for such parameters is in: $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml or $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default as documented in: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Introduction However, I doubt that it's causing the results you're seeing. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
