Hi and Welcome to the list.
I can't answer your questions below, but since you are new to the list,
allow me to make a couple of predictions :
The first thing you are going to be asked is under which OS you are
running this, and from where you downloaded and installed Tomcat 5.5.
So you might as well add that information right away.
The second thing likely to happen, is that someone will tell you to get
rid of that Tomcat, and re-install one from the original Tomcat
distribution. That sounds hard, but it is to some extent
understandable, since each distribution seems to put stuff in different
places, and that makes it harder for people here to provide useful
answers (and particularly for your type of configuration question).
Now, don't get discouraged and hang on there. Usually, after this
initial stage, the answers are good and people here know their stuff and
are genuinely helpful.
And also, because you say that you have already been playing around with
the configuration and are getting all kinds of errors as a result, you
might anyway want to de-install your now messed-up tomcat-webapps and
tomcat packages, re-install a clean tomcat package (without the
webapps), and start from there.

Hello everyone in this list!
This is my first post in the users-help, after successfully installing
Tomcat5.5
The default applications are running (in the /usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps
folder), but for testing my application, I'd like to move mine to a
different location in the filesystem.
Am I right in my assumption that for this, I will need to create a new
service in the server.xml, apart from Catalina?
My structure would look like this:
/usr/share/myapp/ <-- my applications root, the equivalent to
/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps
/usr/share/myapp/webapp <-- my applications webapp, the equivalent to
/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT
in the end, i'd like requests going to http://localhost:1234 being mapped to
/usr/share/myapp/webapp, the same as requests going to
http://localhost:8180being now mapped to
/usr/share/tomcat5.5-webapps/ROOT
Which configurations do I have to change? I've ben messing around with the
server.xml and the configurations of my webapp for some time, with the
result of getting return code 400
Also, as soon as this is working, can I just remove the definition of
catalina from the server.xml to deactivate all the standard applications?
I'd be very happy to recieve some advice on this and maybe even example
configuration files *wink*
