Check this out: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html in particular, the appBase attribute. and this: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html and the docBase attribute. As for the work directory, it shouldn't bother you at all because it's for internal Tomcat use. The webapps directory is the default location for your web applications in Tomcat. You can change that location using the information from the first link above. Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
