Hello - currently I'm running a multi instance Tomcat 8 server and wish to use Manager to deploy war files via its HTTP API command line interface.
When attempting to deploy there is a continuous issue with the context path not being recognised. Here is an example of the command - curl -v -X PUT http://user:password@localhost:10080/manager/text/deploy?path=/address-information-ds-1.0&war=file:/usr/share/tomcat/deployments/20150706/address-information-ds-1.0 FAIL - Deployed application at context path /address-information-ds-1.0 but context failed to start Now check the list of installed webapps - $ curl -X GET http://tcsct:cbiw2PXB@localhost:10080/manager/text/list OK - Listed applications for virtual host localhost /manager:running:0:manager /:running:0:ROOT /address-information-ds-1.0:stopped:0:address-information-ds-1.0.war /host-manager:running:0:host-manager Localaccess.log - [10/Jul/2015:11:07:54 +0100] 127.0.0.1 - tcsct PUT /manager/text/deploy?path=/address-information-ds-1.0 HTTP/1.1 - \ - - - \ - ?path=/address-information-ds-1.0 200 111 - 31 26 127.0.0.1 [10/Jul/2015:11:07:54 +0100] Catanlina.log 10-Jul-2015 11:20:54.560 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Deploying web application archive /opt/tomcat/webapps/address-information-ds-1.0.war /logs/catalina.2015-07-10.log:10-Jul-2015 11:20:54.568 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.beforeStart Exception fixing docBase for context [/address-information-ds-1.0] org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/address-information-ds-1.0]] 10-Jul-2015 11:20:54.572 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Error deploying web application archive /opt/tomcat/webapps/address-information-ds-1.0.war java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/address-information-ds-1.0]] 10-Jul-2015 11:20:54.573 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Deployment of web application archive /opt/tomcat/webapps/address-information-ds-1.0.war has finished in 13 ms Any advice or pointer would be much appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mileage Company Limited is a limited company registered in England under company number 2260073 whose registered office address is at Astral Towers, Betts Way, London Road, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 9XY.
