hello everyone, i am a novice in this field. I was trying to create a virtual directory (alias directory) in Tomcat in Solaris box. Following is what i did.
1. stopped tomcat 2. located the "server.xml" file under <INSTALL DIR>/tomcat/conf 2. edited it to add <Context path="/test" docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts" debug="1" reloadable="true" > </Context> 3. added the above between the host tags such that <Host appBase="webapps" autoDeploy.......> ... ... ... ... <Context path="/test" docBase="/dirtest/prod_scrpts" debug="1" reloadable="true" > </Context> </Host> 4. started tomcat Now when i try to access the newly create virtual directory by going to the URL "http://<servername>:8080/test" i get the error: HTTP Status 404 - /test/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- type Status report message /test/ description The requested resource (/test/) is not available. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Tomcat/5.0.27 Any suggestions and recommendation will be greatly appreciated.
