You should really be using the roller-user mailing list for these questions.
I'd recommend putting the context definition in a separate context file in conf/Catalina/localhost/roller.xml (assuming the context name in the contents you indicated below). If you put it in server.xml, it has to be at just the right spot within the server.xml (in the correct containing Host element).
The wording of the installation guide has gotten a bit muddy around that area. I'll try to clarify it.

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!
