I just tested deploying the 3.1 release version on my windows dev box.
Runs fine as the root webapp for me
Notes:
Fresh install of roller from 3.1 binary distribution; from-scratch
createdb.sql
roller.xml becomes ROOT.xml with path="/" docBase="ROOT"
workdir="work/Catalina/localhost/ROOT"
webapps/roller/ renamed to webapps/ROOT/
cleaned out work dir
This box is running Tomcat 5.5.17, Sun JDK 1.5.0_10, WinXP
--a.

Subject: Re: issue deploying roller as root context
I was using 2.3 with no problems as a root context for about a year but 3.1
doesn't seem to behave the same way. I agree that it appears to be a class
loading issue and I'm trying to figure it out. I'm very confident that
I've got the install correct. However, I've got a different problem with
Tomcat 5.5.23 on another virtual host where it can't handle a jsp:include.
I'm going to try a different version of Tomcat to see if that changes
anything. I was running 2.3 under Tomcat 5.5.15 so I'm going to eliminate
at least that variable and go back to 5.5.15.

I have never seen an error like that when deploying Roller myself, but I
*know* that you can run the application at the root context because I do
it myself and have been for over a year.
If you do some searching on the issue it seems that the reason for that
error is that the container is having problems finding classes ...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=707833
So I would start by really checking that you have properly included all
the necessary Roller libraries in your container's classpath and work
from there. You can even start with some simple test jsps which just
import the class you want and possibly instantiate it if it's just a
bean.

No, I can tell you it wasn't as I initiated this thread. There was a
request for log files that I need to follow up on. However, I
ultimately changed to have the roller web app under my root and the root
index.jsp redirect to the roller web app. My tomcat config looks like:
<Host name="blog.domain.tld" appBase="/home/scott/sites/blog.domain.tld"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" >
<Context path="" docBase="" /> <!-- so that /index.jsp
works -->
<Context path="/roller"
docBase="/home/scott/sites/blog.domain.tld/roller" >
...
</Host>
Then the root index.jsp only has:
<% response.sendRedirect("/roller/index.jsp"); %>
as the entire file.
I'll change it back and grab the logs to assist with debugging.

I believe I may be having the same issue as this person, does anyone
know if this was resolved?

On this note, does anyone have a definitive step-by-step for making
roller the default context, eg. http://server.com/ instead of
http://server.com/roller/ <http://server.com/roller/> ?
