Hi (Jose), I made the changes you suggested but I'm still having problems. Let me give you a little more background:
The website we would like to drive using tomcat4 is located in the /bioinformatics/webapps/bioinformatics directory (again, we're using RedHat Linux 7.3; I don't think it matters but /bioinformatics is a RAID 0 drive). Since it is possible that other websites might be developed in the future that need tomcat we want to access it using http://bioinformatics.ist.unomaha.edu/bioinformatics. Thus, lines 198 - 201 in my server.xml file now look like this <!-- <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> --> <Context path="/var/tomcat4" docBase="/bioinformatics/webapps" debug ="0"/> Note that bioinformatics.ist. . . is a VirtualHost in Apache, configured thusly, <VirtualHost 137.48.138.201> ServerName bioinformatics.ist.unomaha.edu ServerAlias bioinformatics.unomaha.edu DocumentRoot "/bioinformatics/webapps" DirectoryIndex index.jsp index.html </VirtualHost> Now for the problem that we're having: The website itself seems to work but I cannot access any of the manager functions; e.g., http://bioinformatics.ist.unomaha.edu:8180/bioinformatics/manager/list. I have modified the tomcat-users.xml file to contain a user "admin" with a role of "manager." This is the error message that I get: Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 404 - /manager/list -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- type Status report message /manager/list description The requested resource (/manager/list) is not available. Any help you could provide to help solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Other general questions (if you have time): 1) I know that tomcat can not stand alone and requires Apache to work. However, in our case, how do they interact? Do we need to set up a VirtualHost? 2) My understanding is that we need to specify the port when accessing a tomcat-enabled website, e.g., http://bioinformatics.ist.unomaha.edu:8180 . Is this true? If so, is there any way to configure Apache/Tomcat so that the port number is NOT required? 3) Right now, all we have done is to use some include file statements in an otherwise static webpage. In this case, do we need a WEB-INF directory in .../bioinformatics? 4) We have not deployed anything but our application seems to work. When is deploying necessary?

Question which URL are you trying to access? If you are trying to access http://localhost/ you will get this error because there is no context defined to answer this request, only request of the form http://localhost/examples/******* and http://localhost/manager/******* will be answered since they are the only two context defined If that is the case, do the following Replace line 198 -200 <!-- <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> --> for <Context path="/bioinformatics" docBase="bioinformatics" debug="0"/> which will create a context "/bioinformatics", so you can access it using http://localhost/bioinformatics/ Or you can setup this app as the default context as follows Replace line 198 -200 <!-- <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/> --> for <Context path="/" docBase="bioinformatics" debug="0"/> which will create a context "/", so you can access it using http://localhost/ well, I hope this helps you, let me know how it goes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
