I must be stupid or something because I can´t get this to work :( Anyway I figured what the hell, and made a symlink pointing from CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT to /var/www/webapps/R2M/SMC and it now works. A little cheep solution but it works.
I have absolutley no Idea to why it does not work to configure tomcat like I want it to. Anyways, thanks a bunch for your help and patience. Really appriciated =) Den 6/17/2006, skrev "Fredrik Andersson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >ok, thanks a bunch :) > >Sadly I'm away over the weekend and can´t test the configuration just >yet.
