OK. For clarification I am running tomcat-5.0.27-r6. I want user's
tomcat files to be read from /home/*/webspace/webapps. My personal
account is michael so my personal tomcat directory would
be /home/michael/webspace/webapps . Just for the sake of arguments I
created a directory called user under /home/michael/webspace/webapps and
moved my jsp files into it.
My /opt/tomcat5/conf/Catalina/localhost/user.xml file looks like this
now:
<Context docBase="/home/michael/webspace/webapps/user"
debug="0" privileged="true">
</Context>
I restarted Tomcat. I am using mod_jk and when I go to
www.espersunited.com/index.jsp I see the Tomcat start page. However,
when I go to www.espersunited.com/user/index.jsp I get Tomcat 404
Resource Not Available for /user/index.jsp . You reprinted the
paragraph from the Tomcat documentation and it made the same amount of
sense to me as it did when I read it in the Tomcat docs: Basically
none. I've taken the path and appBase attributes out of the my Context
tag as you see above. The entire tree from /home/michael/webapps to the
files in /home/michael/webapps/user have been set chmod 755 (owner all,
group and others read/execute), and it still doesn't work. Any other
ideas? I haven't changed /opt/tomcat5/conf/server.xml at all...
