Hi Eric, I'm not sure what has happened. I see two things in error.log that you posted:
1. tomcat tries to remove the child while shutting down, and gets an error that the context /apress has not been started yet. 2. while starting up, tomcat again tries to bring up the context /apress but encounters an error while trying to configure resources, and does not load the context. Also, you mentioned you have that context mentioned in the server.xml - i don't think you need to do that. maybe, while starting up, tomcat sees that context in server.xml and tries to load it and finds nothing and fails. when it next finds the apress.war maybe it doesn't load it since it assumes that a context with the same name had to failed to start. could you try cleaning up your work folders, removing the entry from the server.xml about the context apress and try again? ~manav. ----- Original Message ----- From: "eric" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 1:45 AM Subject: Re: WAR Problem - No Go > Mark, > > Tried that and it still didn't work.
