Tomcat 4.0.4.
I am trying to use the Manager application to deploy and start a web-app. Have created the directory under CATALINA_HOME/webapps ( c:\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder ). Even have a default web.xml under web-inf. Have put a one-liner index.html under my app directory. I call manager app as follows: http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/myapp&war=file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder Install is successful. I can do a list and it shows up. Now I try: http://localhost:8080/manager/start?path=/exambuilder I get the following error: FAIL - Application at context path /exambuilder could not be started I checked the logs: 2002-09-19 09:16:43 Manager: start: Starting web application at '/exambuilder' 2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardHost[localhost]: standardHost.start /exambuilder 2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Error initializing resources: Document base C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder does not exist or is not a readable directory 2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2002-09-19 09:16:43 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Exception during cleanup after start failed LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/exambuilder] has not been started at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147) ...... Why is the server looking at C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder and not C:\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder ? Even during installation, I see an exception: 2002-09-19 09:16:26 Manager: install: Installing web application at '/exambuilder' from 'file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder' 2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path /exambuilder from URL file:/tomcat40/webapps/ExamBuilder 2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Error initializing resources: Document base C:\tomcat40\webapps\tomcat40\webapps\ExamBuilder does not exist or is not a readable directory 2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2002-09-19 09:16:26 StandardContext[/exambuilder]: Exception during cleanup after start failed LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/exambuilder] has not been started at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop(StandardContext.java:3495) But if I try, http://localhost:8080/manager/install?path=/myapp&war=file:/ExamBuilder the install itself fails. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks -- padhu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
