Thanks Paul, I successfully recopied the original server.xml file, and then added the new line thus: <Context path="/star" docBase="star" debug="1" reloadable="true"/>
I am quite familiar with xml coding syntax but I am unfamiliar with what exactly the server.xml file does and am blundering. So this worked for a while and then I was not able to shut Tomcat down using the shutdown.bat file. Here is the last few bits of the files you requested: CATALINA_LOG 2003-03-17 13:36:52 HttpProcessor[8080][4] Stopping background thread 2003-03-17 13:36:52 HttpProcessor[8080][3] Stopping background

Sandra -----Original Message----- From: p niemandt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 2:13 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Server.xml Hi Sandra: Quite likely Tomcat has not been able to start successfully. It's also quite likely that in changing your server.xml file you might have broken some of the xml. My best suggestion is to post your server.xml file and let the group have a look. You can also try to replace your server.xml with the original one: Replace, not change back: Try to get the original one, or download it from Apache : You'll need to download the full version of Tomcat and just extract to get the server.xml file. The log extract is not really enough to say for sure: You can also post more of the log: Especially catalina_log catalina.out localhost.log hth, Paul On Mon, 2003-03-17 at 21:08, Hunter, Sandra wrote: > Erik: > This is what the localhost log says: > 2003-03-17 13:04:44 StandardContext[/star]: Starting 2003-03-17 > 13:04:44 StandardContext[/star]: Processing start(), current > available=false 2003-03-17 13:04:44 StandardContext[/star]: > Configuring default Resources > > And the apache log: > > 2003-03-17 12:52:49 [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector] > Error accepting requests > java.net.SocketException: socket closed > at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method) > at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:343) > at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:438) > at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:409) > at > org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector.run(WarpConnector.java:590) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) > > So does this make any sense to you?
