Hi Chuck, Thanks for the input! I changed the appBase="webapps" and docBase="myapp".
Not sure about the context yet though, as I want to be able to use the same parameters for some other applications and not be dependent on the developers to do configuration changes as we use war files to pack the applications. I guess there are other alternatives as well to accomplish this, and I will look at it when I have more time :) Best regards, Dan -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 3:30 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: [SOLVED] tomcat not able to connect to postgresql? > From: Dan Eriksson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SOLVED] tomcat not able to connect to postgresql? > > <Host name="myapp.mydomain.com" appBase="webapps/myapp" > unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" > xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> > <Context path="" docBase="" debug="0" reloadable="true"> You may have fixed your DB access issue, but the above config contains a serious problem that will likely bite you in the future. A docBase attribute (explicit or implicit) must never be empty; in your case it's the same as the <Host> appBase, which creates serious internal grief for Tomcat. The proper setting would be appBase="webapps" and docBase="myapp". The above also places the <Context> element in server.xml, which has been strongly discouraged for several years, and shouldn't be used by any current implementation. Since you apparently want this webapp to be the default one, it should be located in webapps/ROOT, not webapps/myapp, and the <Context> element should be in webapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml, without the path and docBase attributes. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
