Hi all, I've great problems with Tomcat and setting up a context in a 2nd (virtual) host:
my environmemt: OS: Redhat Linux Platform: Intel x86 TC version: 4.1 tomcat4.conf: --- cut ----- CATALINA_HOME="/var/tomcat4" JASPER_HOME="/var/tomcat4" CATALINA_TMPDIR="/var/tomcat4/temp" ---- cut ----- 1) There is a dir called /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps for the vhost-files. There User uploaded her Apps via FTP. There are just a few jsp-files and a WEB-INF-subdir with a standard web.xml. Permissions: drwxrwxrwx 2 vhostxx_user ftponly 4096 Aug 12 14:03 webapps 2) Host and Context are defined in server.xml (see below) But when i define the Context (shown below) with den Admin Panel, I get this error from the Logger: 2003-08-15 14:27:21 StandardContext[/webapps]: Resources start failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps does not exist or is not a readable directory and 2003-08-15 14:27:21 StandardContext[/webapps]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2003-08-15 14:27:21 StandardContext[/webapps]: Exception during cleanup after start failed :( 3) When I try http://www.www.domain_vhostxx.at:8080/webapps/file.jsp I also get HTTP Status 404 - /webapps/file.jsp type Status report message /webapps/file.jsp description The requested resource (/webapps/file.jsp) is not available. Of course, this is, because "Context startup failed" .. but why is this so? TC has also add a work-dir for this host and context but the context-working-dir is empty :( There are no basicly problems, because the Admin Panel (localhost, context: /admin) works fine. Is it a problem, when appBase, docBase are outside $CATALINA_HOME? Are there spezial permission needs for the appBase, docBase dirs? But now there are permissions to ALL with drwxrwxrwx 2 vhostxx_user ftponly 4096 Aug 12 14:03 webapps Is there anything that I don't know? I'ld be very very glad if anybody has an idea, because I've studied the docs for days and can't see a mistake in my config?
