You probably don't want to get rid of the <Context> elements, but they really should not be in server.xml, at least not on Tomcat 5.0 or newer. Also, if you want a particular webapp to be the default webapp for a <Host>, it should be named ROOT, not anything else. > Mikolaj wrote: "move webapp to folder different than webapps and update > docBase" > Well, that alone did not fix my problem, I believe What is needed > additionally is > deployOnStartup=false - does this option set to true deployes only to > default location?

I wasn't clear in that I was referring to the docBase determined for the webapp, whether that be by explicit means, or derived from the location of the webapp. In your original setup, you ended up with both, but one of them was wrong. > "When using automatic deployment, the docBase defined by an XML Context > file should be outside of the appBase directory.

The manual unpacking is not necessary. > <Context path="" docBase="/usr/local/apache-tomcat- > 5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco"/> Again, <Context> elements should not be in server.xml, and the default webapp for the <Host> should be named ROOT. Following standard practice makes things much easier; if you were to do that, you could eliminate the <Context> element altogether, and simply place your webapp in: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoApp/ROOT.war > <Context path="" docBase="/usr/local/apache-tomcat- > 5.5.28/ShareDocBase/share"/> Same comment as above; remove the <Context>, and place the webapp in: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/ShareApp/ROOT.war > <VirtualHost *:80> > ServerName alfresco.domain.com > DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/AlfrescoDocBase/alfresco > #DirectoryIndex index.jsp The above will need simplification, but I'm not an httpd person, so someone else will have to tell you what they should be. > Can I be sure that applications will not get started twice now? If you follow standard practice, the applications will not be started twice. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
