OK. Almost there then. Stop Tomcat. Rename C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\webapps\external-references\META-INF\context.xml to C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\conf\Catalina\localhost\external-references.xml (assuming you are using the default engine and host names in server.xml. If not that path is: C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\conf\<engine-name>\<host-name>\external-references.xml Remove C:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\webapps\external-references and everything underneath it. Start Tomcat. Now is probably the time for you to read these: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/host.html#Automatic_Application_Deployment http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html#Naming and possibly this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/automatic-deployment.html Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
