Path error in Tomcat startup scripts on Linux

[Luke Studley]

{See also thread [Apache Tomcat/4.0.2 - HTTP Status 404 - /examples/jsp/]
which seems a similar problem}

Have an application which works fine on Win2k with Tomcat 4.0.1 - but is
failing on Linux.

I have an app under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/webcare/web - and an entry in
server.xml which maps to it.

However in the logs on Linux Catalina apparently binds perfectly to
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT but fails miserably when trying to bind to my
app.

In the log it says it fails to find the app at /webcare/web - and sure
enough if I create a directory at /webcare/web - i.e. in the filesystem root
directory - it works again.

Looks like something in the unix version is not picking up paths properly.
Anybody else come across this - and especially anyone know how to fix it?

Regards

Luke

Is it possible that in your Context definition in either server.xml
or apps-XXX.xml you are specifying an absolute path instead of a relative
one?
