Craig, my reading from that was that it was trying to find the /DBTest directory when the pool failed, like it said "hey your pool doesn't work so now I am going to look for a directory that I might be able to map this context into", is this not the case?
the directions at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=102225547106556&w=2 never tell you to create the "/DBTest" directory under webapps, so I never thought it was required, when you created your pool did you do this? clay -----Original Message----- From: Craig R. McClanahan [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 12:51 PM To: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: going crazy with DBCP Why are you assuming that this is a DBCP problem? The key issue seems to be the following line from the log: > 2002-07-08 16:14:38 StandardContext[/DBTest]: Error initializing > resources: Document base /home/tomcat/jwsdp-1_/webapps/DBTest does not > exist or is not a readable directory which says that the "DBTest" directory doesn't exist or cannot be read by the operating system username under which Tomcat is running. Since you specified a docBase property of "DBTest", Tomcat expects there to be a directory with this name in it's "webapps" subdirectory. If your application is really someplace else, you can specify an absolute pathname instead -- but you still need to ensure that Tomcat has read permissions on everything (plus "x" permissions on directories). You can find out really quickly if this is the important problem by commenting out the <Resources> and <ResourcesParams> elements and see if you still get this message.
