I've been chasing this one for days now and I've finally decided to ask for some help... I've tried fixing the problem by rebuilding all components at least twice. Running Tomcat stand-alone works fine. I can connect to the example pages on port 8080 and then work with all of the examples. BUT When I try to connect to the same example pages using apache, listening on port 80, I receive the following exceptions: URL: http://www.forrester.org/examples result: Error: 500 Internal Servlet Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: webapps/examples/ples at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java) at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.serveFile(DefaultServlet.java:285) at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.doGet(DefaultServlet.java:200) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:865) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleInvocation(ServletWrapper.java:4 13) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:234) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:371) at org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler.processConnection (Ajp12ConnectionHandler.java:147) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(TcpEndpoint.java:305) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) And by adding a slash to the end: URL: http://www.forrester.org/examples/ result: Error: 404 File Not Found /examples/ URL: http://www.forrester.org/examples/jsp result: Adding jsp to the path produces this: Error: 500 Internal Servlet Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: webapps/examples/ples/jsp at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java) at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.serveFile(DefaultServlet.java:285) at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.doGet(DefaultServlet.java:200) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:865) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleInvocation(ServletWrapper.java:4 13) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:234) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:371) at org.apache.tomcat.service.connector.Ajp12ConnectionHandler.processConnection (Ajp12ConnectionHandler.java:147) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(TcpEndpoint.java:305) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) Please note that the path being shown in the FileNotFoundException in both both traces is not the same as the path in the url. It has been munged: java.io.FileNotFoundException: webapps/examples/ples ^^^^ java.io.FileNotFoundException: webapps/examples/ples/jsp ^^^^ I'm following the Apache - Tomcat How To note the the letter. Any suggestions?
