hello Robert- first looking at your present folder layout
Not under tomcats control.. /usr/share/myapp/ Not under tomcats control.. /usr/share/myapp/webapp I would suggest reading how to configure your tomcat engine at /conf/server.xml http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/virtual-hosting-howto.html <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="true" xmlNamespaceAware="true"> wgere the structure for your ROOT folder would look like $CATALINA_HOME/appBase/ROOT and the root.war would deploy to $CATALINA_HOME/appBase/ROOT.war the mapping would be path - The context path (including the leading slash) of the web application you are dealing with. To select the ROOT web application, specify "/". I agree with Andre that a fresh install would solve most of these misconfiguration errors you are now seeing HTH Martin ______________________________________________ Disclaimer and confidentiality note Everything in this e-mail and any attachments relates to the official business of Sender.
