Yes, well this is where things get a little messy. I am using a version of
Tomcat installed by a search engine software package called Endeca. They
HAVE made some default settings of their own in server.xml. I have not been
using ${CATALINA_HOME} in the server.xml config file; I have been manually
entering the directory.
I will paste in my server.xml here:
---------------------------------------
<Server port="8090" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
<!-- Define the Tomcat Stand-Alone Service -->
<Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
<!-- NOTE: ENDECA HAS MODIFIED THE DEFAULT TOMCAT NON-SSL HTTP PORT OF

that

<!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value
to -1 -->
<!-- An Engine represents the entry point (within Catalina) that

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" />
<!-- Replace the above Realm with one of the following to get a Realm

<!-- Define the default virtual host -->
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<!-- Access log processes all requests for this virtual host. By

Before I forget, what version of Tomcat?
I don't think you can use ${CATALINA_HOME} directly in server.xml (I might be
wrong).
Can you post your server.xml? It looks like you have made some changes that
might be complicating matters.
*If* you host still has auto deploy configured (it is unless you explicitly
set it to false) and an appbase of "webapps", remove the <Context> element
for myapp completely. Auto deploy will sort it out.
