OK I changed it so that the path is "myapp" and the docBase is
"${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/myapp".
Restarted Tomcat
Still nothing.

If I > go to http://host:port I see the directory listing including "myapp" This shouldn't happen. This means that myapp is a directory in the root context rather than a separate context. Have you edited server.xml at all? It looks like you have a context element along the lines of <Context path="" docBase="${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps" debug="0"/> in your server.xml. This is bad. The default install uses <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> although it is commented out because tomcat does this automatically by default anyway.
