Hi, Yes, I have had this working previously (TC 5.5 / JDK 1.5 / XP) with the following:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> <Context path="/" docBase="../../site" privileged="false" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false"></Context> Not using META-INF. This was all in the server.xml. The logs are not giving me anything, but I can see a stack trace in the window that disappears in a microsecond. I am using TC 5.5 on Win XP on JDK 1.6.0_04. This no longer works, via a screen grab I can see there seems to be a reference to the logging API (CLassNotFoundException - org.apache.commons.logging) but commons-logging-api.jar and log4j-1.2.14.jar are present in server/lib. May this be a Tomcat 5.5 on JDK 1.6 problem?

The appBase attribute specifies the default deployment directory for *all* webapps of the <Host>, not the default webapp for the <Host>. You need to place your webapp in: C:\myapp.build.target\gs-mydir\site\ROOT with the META-INF and WEB-INF directories under ROOT. Note that ROOT is case sensitive, even on Windows. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
