Well the I figured it out. I forgot that I had updated (yesterday) the codebase on www.mysite.com to use jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar., but hadn't restarted Tomcat at that time. Previously it was using servlet.jar. After I deleted jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar and placed servlet.jar back in it worked.
This is a JDK 1.4 issue. I'm absolutely furious that Tomcat did not say (almost) anything in its logs. I'll get back to the almost part tommorrow. Now thats its fixed I'm gonna try to relax, probably with the help of some tennessee whiskey ;-) thanks for replying on a weekend On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 7:49 PM, Caldarale, Charles R < chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > > From: yassine.elas...@gmail.com [mailto:yassine.elas...@gmail.com] On > > Behalf Of Yassine > > Subject: Re: HELP!!! cannot reach my site! > > > > > Looking at apache and tomcats logs, i'm getting status code 200 > > > when i request my homepage, but 0 length content.
