I delete delete the work directory and restarted the web server. These files reside in the /external-references directory under webappl. The main purpose is to display files in the different directories. In the /external-references/META-INF there is a file called context.xml, and it has a single line that says: <Context docBase="C:\WikiShare" reloadable="true"/> So if someone types in http:/devwiki:8080/external-references/docs/fred.txt, it is suppossed to display the file in c:\WikiShare\docs\fred.txt. However, when I do that, I get: HTTP Status 404 - /external-references/docs/fred.txt type Status report message /external-references/docs/fred.txt description The requested resource is not available. The only log entry is in localhost_access_log is: 206.194.128.141 - - [13/Aug/2014:10:57:05 -0700] "GET /external-references/docs/fred.txt HTTP/1.1" 404 1058
