I was curious what happened if I followed stephen's advice environment: TC 5.5.17
undeploy 'root'OK - Undeployed application at context path/root %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps>del ROOT %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT\*, Are you sure (Y/N)? yes (now the environment is clean) tc-manager http://host:8080/manager/ deploy (lowercase) root.war see attached root-war.jpg then produce tc-manager listing see attached root_listing.jpg when I access http://host:8080/root/ I see the tomcat index.jsp main page If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations! command line %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps>dir ROOT Volume in drive F is DRV4_VOL1 Volume Serial Number is F8AC-7975 Directory of %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\ROOT 12/17/2007 02:55p <DIR> . 12/17/2007 02:55p <DIR> .. 12/17/2007 02:55p <DIR> WEB-INF so when I deployed lowercase root.war TC deployed as uppercase ROOT! how do account for that?
