newbie: problem starting tomcat with roller

[slegge]

Hi all,

Installed Roller 1.2 with Tomcat 5.5 and MySQL 4.1.

Following the Installation Guide
(http://www.rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=InstallationGuide), got
to the part about editing Tomcat's server.xml

Step 5 says (for Tomcat 5.5) to add this (below) to the server.xml and
replace scott / tiger with my own username password.  Did this.

Problem is, with this section, Tomcat service won't start; Windows
complains "The Apache Tomcat service on Local Computer started and then
stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service."

Remove everything between <context> and </context> and Tomcat starts fine.

Any help is *greatly* appreciated!

Stephen
