Re: My Context don't workie
I wonder if it is the docBase=../../webroot thingy. Use a full path, and see if it works. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/09/04 12:01 PM Hello to all, I have an app that works fine on Red Hat, Susie, Debian, or even Windows. I built a Gentoo box and it wont work.

Hi, Maybe a permissions issue?

RE: My Context don't workie
Hi, You can add debug=99 attributes to all the containers in server.xml to get additional debugging data. Tomcat 5.x has better debugging support via commons-logging.

RE: My Context don't workie
Thanks but this is a tried and true app that has been out for two years now. It works on windows, multiple Linux and Solaris Just this one Gentoo box (my first actually). The vendor provides a config util which I have run a million times after deleting the server.xml file. It regenerates a server.xml which I ran on another box fine. It can't be the app it has to be the box. I will try to set debug and enable the default logger.

Is this using gentoo's tomcat install? If so, you may want to download and setup tomcat manually, to see if the problem persists. Gentoo's java tools are...umm..interesting at times.
