Hi folks and thanks in advance.

I know this has been asked before-- I've been searching and reading and haven't found a solution somehow.

I have a JSP based site that I've been hosting on resin.

I want to port it to a new server running tomcat6.

I have a fresh install of tomcat6.

My goal is to leverage virtual hosting for a number of related applications starting with this one:

My document root is /home/someplace/www.someplace.com

I get the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /home/someplace/www.someplace.com does not exist or is not a readable directory

I have verified that the directory exists and is accessible (not a typo, not a securities issue).

I have tried several variations of configuring the context for this after reading (and re reading) old answers and the documentation at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

For my latest try I added the following to server.xml inside the Catalina Engine:

     <Host name="someplace" appBase="/home/someplace/webapps"
           unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
           xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
           <Context
             Path=""
             docBase="/home/someplace/www.someplace.com"
             reloadable="true"/>
           <Alias>www.someplace.com</Alias>
           <Alias>someplace.com</Alias>
           <Alias>www.someplace.net</Alias>
           <Alias>someplace.net</Alias>
     </Host>

Note that I took the extra step of creating a webapps directory inside of /home/someplace so that it would be separate and so that I can use that later for deploying WARs.

Can someone spot what I've done wrong and give me clear instructions on how to make this work?

It shouldn't be this hard... I must be stumbling over something basic. (What seems to have worked for others did not work for me when I tried it (based on google searches of prior Q&A))

Thanks,

_M
