Yep, you assumed right. It's not that Tomcat ain't starting (I can get in the Admin menu and add users, I can get to the manager window (.../manager/html)), it's just that I can't add our purchased app !!! (BMC-Remedy's mid-tier add).
I read a doc I got late and it seems that I also have to install the "mod_jk.so" module... I'll try this Monday when I get back to work... hopefully, it'll work, I've lost enough time already on this on account that nobody except management likes this app anyway Thanks, Richard ____________________________________________________________ > I assume these are typos in the email, not your config: > > > CATALINA_HOME=/files/apache/jakarta-omcat-4.1.29 > ^ > > > <Context path="/mid-tier" debug="0" > > docbase=""/files/ar/mid-tier" reloadable="true"/> > ^ ^ > If tomcat has trouble loading the Context i would expect to see > exceptions in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs/localhost_log.yyyy-MM-dd.txt log > file, logging to which is enabled by default. > > As in java, xml is case-sensitive and docBase!=docbase. > > The manager and admin webapps are setup as non-WAR apps with a docBase > outside the user webapp base.
