I was just suggesting that you could use XML files to deploy your webapps (wherever they may be stored) instead of just using CATALINA_BASE/webapps. If you want to change the auto-deployment directory from CATALINA_BASE/webapps to e.g. /opt/tomcat6 or whatever, that would work, too. > Sorry, it was my misunderstanding of what CATALINA_BASE was for. > When I think of "documents", I think of "webapps", not "conf". CATALINA_BASE is almost entirely configuration files. The fact that the default auto-deployment directory is present there muddles things a bit, but Tomcat is flexible enough to handle a situation where the auto-deployment directory is elsewhere. I know of no way to re-locate those configuration files, though. Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQJRBAEBCAA7FiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAlo38fUdHGNocmlzQGNo cmlzdG9waGVyc2NodWx0ei5uZXQACgkQHPApP6U8pFggWA//WPfmHlVMG2J7SjN3 TaGKkrJiKNyafWNrj4CfnZpmBGYWsGHCUZNw0QmmybUT2ql/PLS46dbLLmYc3bJb CWgDpWuhuRsRsN7MbBeq7CU1ETg0dJAPOFeTNbEapTYxkkElwJFglHgEZI2IVC3R Hv0z3CFDvfjbofaP3TQGIrr5lCgCIsG/6oU7R0HUFQmKknESTUL6jQ3CTpyBBzZA blwYLk5jokbuopmOnGlNu78SWhGD27DgbSWN9n/S0jq88SVvFcIb+sGf3zcsR6yv Dv19616VfPG0yrNgFXPIdk9y691TvrpCyxxVtWbsfms/GkZsVez+dciIBMovoZtg efQrJCYFX1Hr/ZELMt0jPFMRbIdCl1l00G3Xh95z3WZa+MyG9paVuwQz3Lo5+QD2 NiEpicBFqEZLElfeU9G21DCuyfcUAs1iBKJ1Edd99uQ/f+gBAsEbbsjg6x0iHRIY h4lyh1ACxcO0HVjBRJmOK8joZG1CKc3WxA58GHY5spmTzjaK3pRYoPXIWyAjuItr duwlWzFcFgfsOlADgBnPwMa0nGVO0fHZhaf0Tx+NRgxGlPwyTKCEE59UmIISDcHF 5HuQYs3Xd3dPxf7qdajSDZihOQaPiUCtFqV6CiVjWMjZF4Yh8ewhIv1dmv/J9JqS I9LtCwn35IP+arGiKYGf0Do5vxU= =MeFB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
