Hi Robert, To counter such a problem, try giving the absolute path in the 'appBase' parameter of the HostName tag in server.xml.
My server.xml is something like this: <Service name="Catalina"> <Connector port="8080" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm" debug="0" resourceName="UserDatabase" /> <Host name="localhost" appBase="/opt/oss/share/tomcat/base/webapps"> </Host> </Engine> </Service> After making these changes, the error didn't appear for me.
