OK, Chris thanks and thanks Mark. Using tomcat as it should be used under tomcat user and removing links to applications found in /var/www/html (once required or supposedly faster - but now obsolete). Now a) allowlinking works b) aliases work c) failed with VirtualDirectory so far Choosing

Hmm . . . . Lots of speculation here. How are the files referenced in your application? It seems that if the physical files are available, then the application works fine. If the physical files are not available, then the database has problems (firebird under xinetd, perhaps?) and you get 404

Chris, You may have hit the nail on the head. While I have 4 working tomcat applications, I am a C/Java/SQL programmer and Unix admin person (ex IBM system BAL programmer). I am mostly a DBA and write Java bean code to provide better access to things in the DB (make sure rules are followed).

I have been trying three scenarios. So far one works (least security and not good for all OS versions). Again thanks to both Marks for the pointers, but I am afraid they are not working yet. My goal is to enable one directory to be used which is outside the application (and tomcat too)
