Tomcat uses <Context path=""> for the "root" web application. <Context path="/"> doesn't make any sense. #4 You are deploying the same application (/var/www/xml) twice. It doesn't sound like this is really what you want to do. #5 It looks like you are trying to deploy the same application twice to the ROOT context (see #3 and #4).

The "default app" is really a vague term. If you mean that the web application hosting Cocoon should get requests to http://host/, then that is called the "ROOT web application". The ROOT webapp also gets all requests that don't get mapped to some other webapp, too (such as http://host/webappB/foo/bar when "webappB" doesn't map to a running webapp). > b) I then add the other apps in servlet-mappings in web.xml Application != servlet. web.xml declares and maps servlets. If you truly have a separate application, you should have a separate WAR file or a separate directory with all your webapp stuff. > [stop][rewind][play] > The cocoon.war was unwrapped in webapps > [stop][fast-forward][play] > > I deleted the ROOT directory in webapps; renamed the cocoon directory to > ROOT; removed the /cocoon from the httpd.conf This is exactly what you should have done. cocoon.war will be deployed to /cocoon.

Do this: * Stop Tomcat if it's running * Remove all <Context> elements from your server.xml file. * Leave cocoon.war exploded into webapps/ROOT * Remove everything else from the webapps directory (maybe move everything somewhere else in case you need it back) * Delete everything in work/ and logs/ * Start Tomcat * Check all logs in logs/* * Come back and tell us how things went - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmZ7bgACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDaXQCdHWSv7olIkRzfwNbHYFcwSesq 52EAn2V4Ld0xDzpwolSjUnXrtMo29+oi =TCMJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
