Nope, that won't work; docBase is not allowed when the webapp is inside the <Host> appBase directory. The <Context> element must be placed in conf/Catalina/[hostName]/[appName].xml, with the docBase pointing to the location of the logs directory. > - and you will need to specify somewhere, that for this directory, > Tomcat is allowed to generate a page with an index to the files. That's done by enabling the listings parameter for the DefaultServlet. The OP will need to copy the <servlet> tag and its sub-tags for the DefaultServlet from conf/web.xml to the log webapp's WEB-INF/web.xml and set the listings parameter to true. You do not want to enable the listings parameter in the global conf/web.xml for what should be obvious reasons. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
