Well, at the risk of confusing the issue, I don't think I would rename the ROOT folder in CATALINA_HOME/webapps. That might be asking for trouble, as the ROOT folder is a special folder treated differently by Tomcat in some cases than other web application roots. If it were me, I would leave it alone.
In the example I posted, not only is the ROOT folder non-existent, the location of the site/application folders isn't even CATALINA_HOME/webapps. It works for me, I've tried it so far with 6 virtual hosts (c:\websites\site1, ...\site2, ...\site3, and so on).

Thanks guys for all the help...this is working now. John, i did as you suggested below, but also had to rename the ROOT folder in tomcat/webapps before it would work...
Thanks again, Fiona. --- John Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:---------------------------------------------------------------------
This does it for me:
<Host name="www.my-site.com" debug="0" appBase="c:/websites/my-site" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" directory="logs" prefix="my-site_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<!-- Tomcat Root Context --> <Context path="" docBase="" debug="0"/>
</Host>
Notice that "c:/websites/my-site" is the site root, not the webapp root. That is, in c:/websites/my-site, there is:
c:/websites/my-site/index.jsp c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF/web.xml c:/websites/my-site/WEB-INF/classes
There is no ROOT folder in c:/websites/my-site.
