It's doing exactly what you're telling it to, looking for your app's
pages in '/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps' :-)
However, putting Context elements in server.xml is discouraged.
You should create a file named (assuming a vanilla install):
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml
:: containing:
<Context
docBase="/usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/crypto"
debug="9" reloadable="true"
privileged="true" allowLinking="true" >
</Context>
:: which will make it your default webapp, accessed directly using
"http://gus.csbc.vcu.edu:8080/";...
