Hi folks,
On a Tomcat 7.0.67 installation on CentOS 7, I have defined a context
alias in /usr/local/tomcat/conf/context.xml . This is common practice
for many installations I manage, it normally works 100%.
Yet here that alias and its content are giving me 404 errors.
The context alias is called "calllogs" and points to
"/home/myuser/myfolder"
Tomcat runs under myuser account.
Therefore I can't see why any entries under /home/myuser/myfolder would
return a 404 when accessed through the context alias. I have also
enabled dir listings, and I can't see host:8080/calllogs, it also gives
me 404. It's as if the context alias is completely missing.
A different server at the same customer does not have this problem. _The
only difference between the two servers is that the problematic one has
a Selinux-enabled kernel. _Could this be the root cause? Selinux is set
to permissive.
On the non-problematic server I can see host:8080/calllogs listing, plus
all files that live under /home/myuser/myfolder, e.g. I can see
/home/myuser/myfolder/myfile.txt via host:8080/calllogs/myfile.txt, as
one would expect.
This problem is a show-stopper for me so I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot,
George
