(Be careful of the term "root". Tomcat requires that the default webapp name for a given <Host> be named ROOT, so using the term in other situations will undoubtedly lead to confusion. You might want to refer to it as the webapp's base directory.) When a Tomcat webapp is installed in some location other than under the <Host> appBase directory (default value of "webapps"), the docBase attribute of the webapp's <Context> element must point to the location in which the webapp is installed. You can often identify the proper directory by the presence of the WEB-INF directory immediately under the webapp location. In JIRA, this is conveniently (albeit somewhat confusingly) named "webapp". Your docBase attribute should be something like: /var/www/html/???/atlassian-jira-standard-3.11/webapp where ??? is whatever directory you expanded the tar file into and assuming you used the standard path names from the download. The path attribute should be removed from the <Context> element, since the URI path is derived from the name of the .xml file in which the <Context> is located. > Is it related to the .jar file that maven created when I > compiled the jsp code? I have no idea, since I don't know what script you were using to compile JSPs. These are usually compiled as needed on demand, but can be pre-compiled to avoid the one-time delay. You certainly don't need to if you're just getting started with this. > Is it the directory default.jsp is in? The JIRA download does include a default.jsp in its webapp directory; if that's the one you're referring to, then yes. There are three other default.jsp files in various subdirectories of webapp, so if you're referring to any of those, no. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
