Hi, I updated context.xml in the webapp and also the ROOT.xml in the conf/Catalina/abc.com/ROOT.xml, all has this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context allowLinking="true"> </Context> and still getting this error: SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /usr/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapp/abc does not exist or is not a readable directory looks like not the allowLinking problem as program runs despite that error, any idea?
