Have you actually removed all of the others that come with Tomcat, including the manager? Think about what happens when you decide to install a second webapp; best practice dictates that you not have to modify the global config to do so. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
