I take it all back. The typo in my context file I thought was the problem, was not it. In Tomcat 7.0.34 I had a context file in conf/Catalina/localhost called output.xml The docBase attribute was: docBase="\\servername\share$\gisoutput" The purpose was to create a virtual output directory on Tomcat to read images from the network share. Something like http://servername/output/someimage.png Tomcat 7.0.34 was installed as a service using the service.bat, and the service was running under a local account on the webserver, not a local system account, one I created. The docBase was pointing to an administrative share on another storage server. I created the same local account on that storage server, and gave share and security permissions to that share. Then I started Tomcat 7.0.34 and got that exception in the log file. For the heck of it, I removed the 7.0.34 service and installed 7.0.32. The exact same setup is working in 7.0.32 Is the $ causing an issue? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
