hi, When i add a Context in the server.xml, an error occurs: Apache Tomcat/4.1.31 Catalina.start: LifecycleException: Context startup failed due to previous errors LifecycleException: Context startup failed due to previous errors at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3578) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1141) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:707) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1141) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:316) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:450) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:2143) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:463) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:350) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:129) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:156) Stopping service Tomcat-Standalone Catalina.stop: LifecycleException: Coyote connector has not been started LifecycleException: Coyote connector has not been started at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector.stop(CoyoteConnector.java:1296) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.stop(StandardService.java:499) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.stop(StandardServer.java:2178) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:494) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:350) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:129) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:156)
If i remove the added context, tomcat will start. In fact, i rearrange the directories, i don't know if this will impact on the Context. If i put all directories under $CATALINA_HOME, tomcat will work well with the Context. $CATALINA_HOME/bin/ shared/ server/ $CATALINA_BASE/bin/ conf/ webapps/ logs/ work/ Context is as following: <Context path="/test" docBase="test" reloadable="true" /> Best Regards. jacky
