appBase != docBase
Right now your Context is using the same value for its docBase as your Host is using for its appBase. Your docBase cannot be your appBase, not to mention that your Context is using a path of "/webapps" which could cause all sorts of weird problems.
Set appBase = /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps but then set docBase = "myApp" or something like that (it is automatically relative to the appBase).
Then your Context would look something like this:
<Context path="" docBase="myApp">
Then the URL would be:
http://www.www.domain_vhostxx.at:8080/file.jsp
So you want:
appBase: /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps docBase: /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps/myApp JSP: /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps/myApp/my.jsp WEB-INF: /home/www/vhostxx/html/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF

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?
Thanks a lot Robert
