Thanks for the feedback and the correction. OK - I have a very simple war file named ROOT.war - it doesn't a META-INF directory. I have placed a file called ROOT.xml into conf/Catalina/localhost with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context debug="1"> </Context> Server.xml has the defaults that come with tomcat 5.5.17: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> I put ROOT.war into the webapps directory and start tomcat --> ROOT.war isn't expanded. Any other suggestions? Or might this be a bug? thanks for your help, Andy "Caldarale, Charles R" <Chuck.Caldarale@ To unisys.com> "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> 17/10/2006 14:58 cc Subject Please respond to RE: problems with unpacking "Tomcat Users ROOT.war List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] che.org> > From: Michael Courcy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: problems with unpacking ROOT.war > > Maybe a stupid clue but instead of > <Context path="" debug="1"> > </Context> > > What happen if u try > <Context path="/" debug="1"> > </Context> Neither one is correct.
