Chris, It makes sense, but before I try the symlink approach, be advised of the full scenario. Multiple doctor's offices will be connected to the same server. Each office will have its own instance of tomcat running a copy (sometimes a different version) of the 3rd party app. The config files are different for each site. For example, the file /home/myacct/tomcat5/webapps/mobiledoc/mobiledocconfig.properties contains database connection information so each instance of the mobiledoc application connects to a matching mysql database (on a different server). Does the brute-force approach you outlined still apply?

Eric, > java.io.FileNotFoundException: > /usr/local/tomcat5/webapps/mobiledoc/conf/mobiledoccfg.properties (No > such file or directory) > > Grrr... Okay, time for the brute force method: $ grep "conf/mobiledoccfg" `find /home/myacct/tomcat5/ -type f` Assuming that you find a .class file (or even better, a Java or JSP file) that contains that path, poke around in there to see if the path has been hard-coded. If it has been hard-coded, call up your 3rd-party vendor and let them know, and ask for a patch. Here's a quick workaround: $ cd /usr/local/tomcat5 $ rm -rf conf (check to see if this is okay!!) $ ln -s /home/myaccount/tomcat5/conf . That ought to do the trick. You might have to turn on symlink following in order to get it working. If none of this makes sense or you can't find anything, I might be willing to take you up on your offer for payment to take a first-hand look. ;) -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
