I have moved the docBase to /vhosts/past-int/PaST and I have modified the <CATALINA_BASE>/conf/<EngineName>/<HostName>/ROOT.xml to direct docBase to the new phyiscal path. After stopping the JVM, deleting the <CATALINA_BASE>/work/<EngineName>/<HostName>/_ and starting up the JVM again I get a NullPointer Exception:

Maybe there is another setting needed to be considered? @Martin, who wrote: > What is context-root specified as? I am not sure what you mean with "context-root", for me it is path="".
